To relocate:
Code:
mkdir even odd; mv *[02468].tif even; mv *[13579].tif odd

For a list of each:
Code:
for f in *[02468].tif; do echo "$f"; done
for f in *[13579].tif; do echo "$f"; done

A test whose exit status can be used to decide on a further course of action (filenames without a digit are treated as if they contained a 0):
Code:
for f in *; do
    if [ "$(expr $(echo 0$f | tr -cd 0-9) % 2)" -eq 0 ]; then
        echo even
    else
        echo odd
    fi
done

NAME

       tiffset - set a field in a TIFF header

SYNOPSIS

       tiffset [ options ] filename.tif

DESCRIPTION

       Tiffset sets the value of a TIFF header to a specified value.

OPTIONS

       -d dirnumber
	      change the current directory (starting at 0).

       -s tagnumber [ count ] value ...
	      Set the value of the named tag to the value or values specified.

       -sd diroffset
	      change the current directory by offset.

       -sf tagnumber filename
	      Set the value of the tag to the contents of filename.  This option is supported for ASCII tags only.

EXAMPLES

       The following example sets the image description tag(270) of a.tif to the contents of the file descrip:
	      tiffset -sf 270 descrip a.tif

       The following example sets the artist tag(315) of a.tif to the string ``Anonymous'':
