Hi Shea,
There are heaps of tools that can assist you, you've been pointed towards the
excellent ExifTool in previous threads. The command line version is very easy

Alfresco uses apache tika to extract exif metadata from images. The tika
plugin to support is on github at https://github.com/Alfresco/tika-exiftool
.
