If you use the face feature in Picasa, all your information is stored in the .picasa.ini file - not in your picture. This tool reads the .picasa.ini file and writes the data into your picture using XMP.

Naming a baby is always a dificult thing and there is (nearly) no difference in giving a new tool a name. So I decided to concatenate "Pic" (for Picasa or Picture if you like) and "Face" for this purpose. And because it sounds a bit like the front of a little lovely animal, the icon was defined too ;-)

Development status

The tool is currently under development. Feedback is appreciated but I won't be able to realise everything...

PicFace is written in C# and .NET 3.5 (Visual Studio 2008)

Licence

Please see the Licence page in the Wiki.

Used code

There are two parts of the tool not programmed by myself:

• ExifTool by Phil Harvey: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
• Json.NET by James Newton-King: http://json.codeplex.com

Both authors allow the restribution of their distributables in their licence.
