1. A photo management system comprising:
- data storage;
a first routine stored in data storage and executable to receive a photographic image file defining (i) a photographic image, (ii) capture location, and (iii) transmit location;
a second routine stored in data storage and executable to read the photographic image file and identify the capture location and transmit location;
a third routine stored in data storage and executable to select, based on capture location, a storage location for the photographic image;
a fourth routine stored in data storage and executable to store the photographic image at the storage location;
a fifth routine stored in data storage and executable to select, based on transmit location, a processing lab at which to print the photographic image;
a sixth routine stored in data storage and executable to send the photographic image to the selected processing lab for printing.

Abstract
A method and system for creating digital image files provides for writing capture location metadata and transmit location metadata into a digital image file. A digital camera captures an image, stores digital image data in a digital image file and then adds capture location metadata into the digital image file. The digital camera then receives a user request to transmit the digital image file to a network server, and in response to the user request the digital camera writes transmit location metadata into the digital image file. The digital camera then sends the digital image file to the network server.
