Also, if you have problems with PEL, then feel free to ask on the PEL Devel list. I will probably not have that much time (I have mostly shifted to programming in Python these days), but I will try to help.

If you have any suggestions on how to make a better HOWTO for PEL, then I would also be interested. I know that PEL is fairly low-level in the way that it exposes the JPEG and Exif structures. More convenience functions are definitely needed.

Oh, about the bear: I actually visited Zermatt just two months ago — my wife is from Wallis :-) It’s a small world…

Was hunting around for a way to write data to a .jpg’s EXIF and came across your PEL library. At first I thought ‘”Oh S**t” is that complex — I’ll never make it work’ but have just spent the last hour or so and amazing, I’ve figured it out! Very, very cool.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work/efforts, and that if you ever make it to Zermatt, the first beer’s on me ;)

I’ll send you an email in a few months, when our project goes live, so you can see (and maybe link?) where your efforts have been used.

Thanks again!
