If you want to do it for a lot of pics, you are better off on the
command line anyway. There are lots of CLI utils to read EXIF, but I
only see a couple that can obviously write it (more probably exist with
less clear descriptions):
$ apt-cache search exif | sort | less
[Mark I eyeball scanning, copy&paste:]
exiv2 - EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation tool
jhead - manipulate the non-image part of Exif compliant JPEG files
If you really want a GUI, I suspect that at least one of these would do
that:
$ apt-cache search image viewer | sort | less
danpei - Gtk+ based Image Viewer
gimageview - Image Viewer using GTK+
gpicview - lightweight image viewer
gqview - A simple image viewer using GTK+
gthumb - an image viewer and browser
imgseek - Image viewer and manager with content based query
showimg - A feature-rich image viewer
$ apt-cache search photo | sort | less
albumshaper - Photo album creator and photo manipulator
f-spot - personal photo management application
flphoto - Image manager with great printing functionality
lphoto - digital photo manager
Out-of-scope, but sounds cool:
gpscorrelate - correlates digital photos with GPS data filling EXIF fields
gpscorrelate-gui - correlates digital photos with GPS data filling EXIF
fields
BONUS:
I've used this one to edit ID3 tags in MP3s, it's a bit clunky but the
best of the 3-4 GUI tools I tried. I wanted GUI in this case because I
had a small number of dissimilar changes to make and figuring it out on
the CLI would have been slower:
exfalso - audio tag editor for GTK+
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
