And beyond that, EXIF data is not part of all image files, mostly only those files from a device such as a camera. If you have iPhoto open, you can use AppleScript to tell iPhoto to return the EXIF data in an image file in its library. The same will work for Photoshop and Graphic Converter. I don't believe the OSX Finder app will read this part of an image file, and the Rev 'detailed files' returns info by asking the Finder to get it. I could be wrong about this. Try it and see.
