Extract embeded thumbnail image and print CIFF/TIFF data to screen dcfixdates - Reset photo file date from that recorded by the camera

Part of [dcparse(1)](/dcparse/1.md).

## NAME

dcparse - Extract embeded thumbnail image and print CIFF/TIFF data to screen\
 dcfixdates - Reset photo file date from that recorded by the camera

## SYNOPSIS

**dcparse** file1.crw file2.crw ...\
 **dcfixdates** file1 file2 ...

## DESCRIPTION

These two utilities read data directly from RAW digital photo files.

**dcparse** prints internal CIFF/TIFF data, and creates a file called **\<filename\>.thumb** which is generally a JPEG file. The CIFF/TIFF data is technical in nature.

**dcfixdates** reads time data, recorded by the camera when the picture was taken, and resets the date of the file. For this to work effectively the camera time should be set to Universal Time.
