    EXIF for scanned 4x5

    I wonder how many of you, from those who scan and show your work online, troubles yourself on creating your own exif from annotated exposure records?

    Bump

    I just scanned a few polaroids and I wanted to add the EXIF's. I found two utilities online: Quick Exif and ExifTool.
    Quick Exif allows to create all appropriate tags, but it doesn't offer any feature to replicate that data to a bunch of files, so it is very time consuming to add all tags to all files manually... ExifTool seems very complete, but it is mainly (at least for the good stuff) command line.


    From the response to my original question, it seems that not many of us scan photos or the ones that do, don't care for exif information?

    I care less about EXIF information now than I did when I was shooting just with DSLRs. Especially things like shutter speeds and apertures. Much more meaningful to me are things like how someone metered, what the scene brightness range was, and how contrast was managed in development and printing.
