Best Windows 7 photo manager that keeps EXIF data
Hello everyone,
I have recently acquired an iPhone, so I am now taking more pictures (and video eventually). I need a program that can import these into Windows 7 from iPhone, just like it would from any other camera that is "mounted" like a disk. But I want a program with some "advanced" features.
I tried Windows Live Photo, and it did not distinguish between the videos and the photos and it put them all in one folder. (It also did not let me preview the videos.) Windows Live Photo did not allow me to preview some photos, which were visible in the program after import. As far as I could tell, there was also no geo tagging.
So, I want a program, or codec, that would work with Windows 7, as my photo manager. I need it to import pictures just like it would from a camera and, as the Widows Live software did (sort of) present them to me before importing for previewing and naming, grouped by date, or what have you, then allow me to select which ones I wanted to import. I want the program to preserve EXIF data, geo tag, and give me the option of deleting from camera after import.
I considered Picasa, but read that it does not preserve EXIF data or geo tags. I tried the other Windows 7 Photo Viewer and that was no better.
I would even be willing (almost prefer) to upload all of my photos to a service that would handle all of this for me, while also having the advantage of "cloud" storage.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, either on how I can get Windows Live Photo to work better, or if Picasa is not as bad as I have read, or if there is an even better Windows 7 app, OR, even an online service. (Preferraby one that is cheap or low cost.)
Thanks for your consideration of my question. I appreciate your input.
Best regards,
