editing Metadata
I used the search button and found what seemed like a great meda editor. I couldnt figure out how to use it.
when all else fails read the manual. There i find out that it doesnt work with RAW files.

I would like to add my name to the metadata and maybe a pic name
does anyone know of an easy to use free software that will do this.

EXIFTOOL is free and will display and edit metadata - get the GUI front end to it so you don't need to use command line. (PYEXIFTOOLGUI)

Can be downloaded here:

The only editing I've done with metadata is changing date or time.

Here's a link to metadata editors.

Adding your name can be done automatically through your camera's Menu system. If the pictures have already been taken, then you'll need an editor.

I dont knnow if ou use Pse at all, but in the organizer, if you have pse or photoshop, you can add you name and copy right. I have it on my and when i dl to the organizer it places it in automatically.
My 2 cents
