ShotSheet

Summary

This script extracts metadata information from photos in the current folder and uses it to generate a "ShotSheet" PDF to annotate and share.

Install

1. Clone the repository with git clone git@github.com:jriverac/ShotSheet.git
2. Navigate to the repository folder: cd ShotSheet
3. Run the Makefile to install the script, and follow the prompts: make install

Usage

1. Navigate to the folder containing your photos.
2. Run the script: shotsheet
3. Open ShotSheet.pdf to view your generated contact sheet.

Notes

• Your photos should be in JPEG format (either .jpg or .jpeg).
• Your photos need to include the necessary metadata (Rating, Create Date, Caption-Abstract) for the script to work effectively.
• When your metadata is incomplete you might see
  • "REJECTED" when the rating is missing.
  • "No Caption" when the caption-abstract is missing.
  • "Unknown Date" when the create-date is missing.
• The best software I found to enter the notes for the photos is digiKam, most others just wasted time and got nowhere. Feel free to send me recommendations for other (Mac) software to catalog and write EXIF.
