I want to thank all those who replied to this thread. Micha's message was particularly instructive. For the sake of brevity, I'm not quoting his message. Many thanks to Sjoerd too for mentioning renrot, to Bob for mentioning the exiftags package, and to Ron, of course, for mentioning jhead. I am grateful to you all.
