If you want to transfer, rename, geotag, and organize photos and RAW files in one fell swoop, Otto is your friend. This shell script can transfer photos and RAW files from a storage card, neatly organize them, and even add a copyright notice to each photo. If the photos are geotagged, the script also writes useful information, such as camera model, lens, and weather conditions into the Comment field of the EXIF metadata.
