A tiny RMagick extension for image metadata

Rails
1

Looking for easier access to image metadata? EXIF and IPTC? So was
I, but I couldn’t find one I really liked. So I wrote my own.

Features:

  • returns EXIF and IPTC data as a hash.
  • tries to type cast the data correctly, so date strings become dates
  • allows you to specify what fields you are interested in, or want to
    exclude

Have a look hopefully people will find it useful.

I have download it and it seems to work. But I don’t understand how to
print anything from the imagefile, for example the original date ?
