I wish to extract certain key data from image files such as author/creator, date created, title etc.
I can see there are the following possibilities just for the author/creator:
EXIF_Artist
EXIF_XPAuthor
XMP_DC_Creator
IPTC_PS_Writer
I note that the IPTC spec also has a creator tag. Haven't worked out how to access these various tags yet.
Is it possible to find data stored for all these tags?
If so, which is to be preferred and is there any simple method of choosing the right one or have you got to work with them all to make sure you extract relevant data?

Hi
We don't aggregate meta-data because the purposes of each type differs, e.g. EXIF for technical data from camera images, IPTC to provide information when image sharing, etc.
Although there is a lot of overlap, which information you should use will depend on your application.
To see all the available meta-data, try the following demos in the \InputOutput\ folder:
\EXIF\
\IPTC\
\XMP\
\DICOM\

I can see there are 31 constant values for Photoshop IPTC and that I can access these with calls such as:
ImageEnIO1.Params.ReadIPTCField(PhotoShop_IPTC_Records, IPTC_PS_Keywords);
The demo appears to deal only with the photoshop constants.
I can't see how I access any other IPTC fields or are there no other IPTC felds?
The schema at https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/#field-reference-table lists various core fields that are not within the photoshop tags and also numerous extensions. Is it possible to access these using ImageEn and, if so, how? |
