Preparation for Tagging and
sending your Data to TAGGER.biz
Why and when do I need to install this script?
If you only want a collection of JPEG files tagged: then you don’t need this script, go on!
If you want your RAW photos tagged with TAGGER.biz: you need this script, it’ll help you a lot.
Why? Because you’ll only send a collection of small images PLUS a description where to find the RAW files: this will do the trick: there is only a small amount of data to send to TAGGER.biz, because TAGGER.biz will produce loadfiles (for the EXIFTOOL) to do the actual tagging/keywording on your PC locally: the amount of data will really be small, because there is no RAW data involved in the process of “sending and receiving”. To complicated? We’re glad to answer your questions: support@tagger.biz
