Meta_data from Raw Image files and *.psd files

[David Southwell]

Hi

I am needing to extract metadata from image files primarily canon *.CR2 and
photoshop*.psd files so I can use the metadata in a mysql database.

Does anyone know of any available routines to help with the task.. I would
rather not have to reinvent the wheel (beside I am lazy <chuckles>).

I'm not sure about the canons, but on my nikon I can grab the meta
data from the jpeg thumbnail from my nef images (nikon's raw file).
It doesn't give me everything mind you, but it does have a fair amount
of data. I can't recall the name of the program I was using to grab
the info with, jpeginfo might actually be it...
