“A more intelligent camera-PC transfer tool”

If you've ever wanted more information about the photos that you've transferred from your camera to your PC then PIE is for you. It shows you the exposure information relating to each picture and can improve your understanding of your digital camera and improve your photo skills.

The exposure information saved in the JPG file (the meta data) remains as long as the file is not modified. Any modification to the JPG file will destroy this data but PIE works by preserving exposure information in standard text files which also may be imported into a spreadsheet or database. It gives your photos more user friendly file names than just generic numbers and always displays your photos in chronological order. It also allows you to rotate JPG pictures without any loss of quality and this is done without any decompression/compression so there's no loss of quality.

For serious photographers, this is a fantastic little tool. For those that don't need specific information regarding the details of their photo files, it's not really essential.
