- Update the EXIF dates field of scanned images.
- Write other EXIF and IPTC information such as the camera model and maker.
- Write directly to TIF, PSD, JPEG, and DNG file formats and also to proprietary raw formats or xmp sidecar files.
- Enter extra manual Exiftool command line arguments.
- Store frequently-used command line arguments as presets.
- Store its commands as a file which can be run as a batch file in Shell/Terminal – use this method for debugging or other advanced needs.
