I am using Gimp to post-process digital photographs. The camera is embedding EXIF data in the JPEG images that I would like to preserve, but the Gimp is stripping this when it writes the modified images.

This is a known issue.

Any ideas whether EXIF awareness in JPEG images is available now or in the development pipeline?

EXIF-awareness has not been implemented yet (as can also be seen on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56443), but hopefully it will be in a too distant future.

In the meantime, is there anything that could extract the EXIM info, then be used to add it back afterwards?

Hi,

bins does a good job at extracting the EXIF info into XML files. No idea if there's a tool to put it back as well.

I recently downloaded EXIFutils[1], a collection of console utilities for working with EXIF information. They seem very powerful and I have only used the tiniest fraction of their capabilities. To do what you need one simply keeps a copy of the original jpeg form the camera and then transfers the EXIF information from it to the manipulated image with the command

exifcopy

These tools are not free but they do work in a limited way without being registered. The command above works fine without registering. I have also used the exiflist command to view the EXIF information.

Another utility that you might look at is jhead[2]. It seems less powerful than EXIFutils but it is free.
