How to Edit EXIF in Photos

Editing the EXIF data in your photographs allows you to change notations such as capture date or editing programs. Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) stores metadata tags about the image. The file structure is based on the structure found in TIFF files. Exif data can be edited within Windows 7 without the need for additional programs. If you want to edit the Exif data then you must first remove all original information and then begin to create new data in its place.
