I basically agree with the other comments - i.e. that you are stepping into a minefield here, and should think very hard about whether you should do so.

Yeah, it was a dumb idea and I'm glad I brought it up here. We've decided to just recompress the jpgs (which are usually completely uncompressed to start with). Even a modest compression seems to save megabytes of space. I'll try a few images to see what the best level is. Other than that, we won't change anything.

Back to the original question ....

I think the info you need is (generally at least) in the jpg file (Google for "EXIF data"). A while ago I wrote a library to extract the EXIF data from jpeg / tiff files.

Oh dear, I forgot all about your library! Sounds like exactly the thing. Thanks very much for the nudge.
