    Tool to edit EXIF metadata for pictures?


    Can someone recommend a GUI tool that makes it easy to edit the EXIF metadata for pictures?

    I am helping my dad organize some pictures and there's a large majority of them that have no EXIF data or incorrect EXIF data. The built-in Photos app looks like it allows you to change the Date Taken field and nothing else and it's two clicks to get to that screen for each picture. There's 400k pictures, so that's not really feasible. So something more efficient but still easy to use would be great.

  2. Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

    I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following
    link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".

    The locked thread for a similar question under Windows Vista:

    Edit autocomplete drop-down list for genre metadata in music files

    Thanks,

  3. Editing the date on an picture

    There are many tools available, some of them free, that will allow you to edit the EXIF metadata on an image file. Just Google or Bing.

    Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

    It seems like the list is generated from existing tags or other metadata. So, if you're getting 'junk' suggestions, it's likely that some other file has that 'junk' data. So you need to locate those files with bad metadata & delete/edit it to 'good' information.
