Edit in the app or export-edit-import, doesn't matter. TIA Suggest you try 'exiv2' - but it's not 'freeware', it's Open Source. See www.exiv2.org.

You need to write a program around it to use it. For a complete, ready to go application, you might do better with exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
