Microsoft plugs in for digital photographers

While this is hardly considered a ground-breaking announcement, Microsoft's recent release of the Photo Info add-in for Windows should appeal to photographers who want to edit metadata on-the-fly.

The new Photo Info software is available as a free download on Microsoft's Web site. What the program does is allow the user to quickly add, change or delete metadata via a tab-browsing interface and provides additional information when you hover your mouse over the pictures. According to Microsoft, initial file formats supported include JPEG, TIFF, WDP, HDP, NEF, CR2 and CRW. No love there for Macintosh users since the add-in runs on only 32-bit versions of Windows XP SP2 and Vista operating systems.
