EXIF extension for Image??

[topiaruss]

Hello,

I've been using imagestore, and have more-or-less forked it, because I had trouble creating a custom image while I was under time pressure.

I now have a bit more time, and could pull the custom image stuff into my private repo, which would enable me to contribute the EXIF processing that I have added.

Features of my EXIF processing::

• EXIF data would be exclusively for the postgres database (since it uses pgfield)
• Album Upload and Image upload would parse EXIF data on images, and store in the Image() model, providing a nice accessor to get the EXIF blocks.
• EXIF data is easily available in the template, via the image object.
• EXIF data is cached on first use.

If you would be interested in receiving a PR with these features, and probably some other tidy-up, let me know.

If any other users are interested in having EXIF functionality, hire me for a couple of hours, and I'll get on it. Otherwise, check my fork, and help yourself.

Hi!
Can you describe why do you use pgfield (also please post link to this project).
Why we couldn,t store EXIF data in regular django fields? In this case we can just introduce new Image model inherited from https://github.com/hovel/imagestore/blob/master/imagestore/models/bases/image.py#L39 and provide functionality for all users.
