If the images are JPEG, do NOT do it in ImageMagick.
You do not want to read-in and write-out JPEG images just to change
metadata as doing this degraded the image due to the JPEG lossy
compression.
I am not sure if IM can actually do it at all. It is not designed for
handling meta data, but image data. You may need to look for some other
program designed for meta-data work.
