Looking for easier access to image metadata? EXIF and IPTC? So was I, but I couldn't find one I really liked. So I wrote my own.
Features:
* returns EXIF and IPTC data as a hash. * tries to type cast the data correctly, so date strings become dates * allows you to specify what fields you are interested in, or want to exclude
Have a look hopefully people will find it useful.
