I want to put tags and other information to jpg, png, gif pictures. I mean to exif... not Finder Comments.

How this can be done using AppleScript or Terminal?

Either of these programs might do the trick:

EasyBatchPhoto - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/easybatchphoto.html

GraphicConverter - http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11559
(GC is very good and does have AppleScript support).

Thanks, but i was looking for a way to do this using AppleScript or Terminal.

Something like: tell application "x" to put ("x", "z") tags to image (path to image here)

Try exiftool, available at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

This is a command-line tool that lets you access, add and alter exif tags. Naturally it can be called from AppleScript using the "do shell script" command.

Apple included a similar command-line tool called "sips", but that causes quality loss (at least when used on JPEGs), so I do not recommend it.
