I'm trying to reconstruct the chronological sequence of many early
holiday photos, edited in the time before I wised up to all the issues
over the impermenance of EXIF data.
Before I give up and resort entirely to guesswork and arguments with
my wife, can I just double check on one fundamental point please. Is
there *any* way that JPG files on my HD can be processed to yield the
original EXIF data? The files obviously started life in my digicam,
complete with EXIF Date/Time to the second, so it's frustrating to
have lost it.
In the same sense that 'deleted' HD files *can* actually be recovered,
is there any freeware (or any other) program that will do so for EXIF
data please?
If, as I suspect, the answer is a firm No, then out of intellectual
curiosity, can anyone here explain in non-techie terms why it wasn't
simply preserved? That is, regardless of various image editors'
indifference to it? I've asked in rec.photo.digital too.
