Soon google will start indexing photos by looking at exif data … that will force Flickr to keep the exif for every image size they have. And for that reason I think you should always keep your exif in good shape.

Exifer is pretty good, but the problem is, as I mentioned in the article, Flickr strips out all of the Exif data on most images on the site. So you're adding the data just to have it stripped out in all versions other than the original.

you might want to double check that and make sure that it's still the case, but you might be defeating yourself with this.

This looks very useful, I'll have to try it on my camera.

I currently use Exifer to add copyright data to everything I put on Flickr. As well filling in the author data, I specify the CC license for the photo in the EXIF comment. In the IPTC fields, I have the description of the image, tags/keywords, the image title, my name in various places and links to the CC license in the copyright fields.

You can never have too much metadata.
