I have a large image collection, curated with Windows Photo Gallery. I have made extensive use of the Date Taken, Tags, People and Location Attributes.

Using C# I can get Date Taken and Tags, but I am yet to find a way to get People and Location.

Is there a way?

View from Within Photo Gallery. From right click file properties, you can see People, but not location.

  • Thanks for both of those @tofutim however I am pretty sure I have read in the past that MS did not support the standard both for people and location for Photo Gallery Live. Which I sort of see in other apps, where they get the Tags I have set, but never the people and location. - And I just tried the location example linked to and it returned nothing. Will keep digging just to be sure. – user1076412 May 20 '16 at 05:08
  • confirmed, even MetaDataExtractor does not get People and Location – user1076412 May 20 '16 at 06:16
  • Do you know what file format the JPEG streams are in? – user3344003 May 20 '16 at 13:56
  • What do you mean by JPEG Stream? I can check. 90% of the photos are from Canon DSLRs, I can get that part of the Metadata ok. Its only the Photo Gallery meta data I am struggling with. – user1076412 May 20 '16 at 20:57
