Thanks Phil.

Unfortunately I still can't get ExifTool to work.  I think
that it's either in the wrong place and/or I did not add it
to my PATH correctly.

My PATH is:

yubana147:~ home$ printenv PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

In my home directory--the initial directory which I am in
when I open a terminal session contains the following:

yubana147:~ home$ ls -a
.                       .lpoptions              Library
..                      .rnd                    Movies
.ActivePerl             .sversionrc             Music
.CFUserTextEncoding     Applications            Pictures
.DS_Store               CPA Archive             Public
.Trash                  CPA iView Cat Reader    Sites
.Xauthority             Canon_60152F-01.CR2     exiftool
.bash_history           Canon_60512f-01.CR2     ppm4.log
.bashrc                 Desktop
.cshrc                  Documents

I'm not sure what the exiftool file in my home directory is
for?  If I change to my /usr/local/bin there is a folder
called Image-ExifTool-6.66:

yubana147:~ home$ cd /usr/local/bin
yubana147:/usr/local/bin home$ ls -a
.                       fondu                   tobin
..                      frombin                 ufond
Image-ExifTool-6.66     ps2pdf
dfont2res               showfond
yubana147:/usr/local/bin home$ 

The Image-ExifTool-6.66 folder contains the following:

 yubana147:/usr/local/bin home$ cd
/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-6.66
yubana147:/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-6.66 home$ ls -a
.                               exiftool
..                              html

What is my ExifTool directory?  (To clarify, my USERNAME is
the login name I use to login to my computer, right?) 

yubana147:~ home$ exiftool -h ~/Desktop/test/60512F-01.CR2
-bash: exiftool: command not found
 
I tried adding the exiftool directory to my path using the
directory
/Users/Peter/Desktop/Image-ExifTool-6.66

And that did not work.  I also tried using the directory
/Users/Peter/sbin/Image-ExifTool-6.66

But that didn't work either.

Can you tell what the problem is? 

Thanks again for all your help and patience.

Pedro
