# JpegReader.Iptc Property 
 
Gets IPTC data collection from file.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public ReadOnly Property Iptc As IptcDictionary
```
 
```csharp
public IptcDictionary Iptc { get; }
```
 
### Property Value
 [ExifDictionary](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_ExifDictionary.htm.md) class instance that contains IPTC data collection obtained from the file.
 
### Implements
 
[IMetadataReadSupport.Iptc](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_IMetadataReadSupport_Iptc.htm.md)
 
## Examples
  
The code below demonstrates how to extract and display both EXIF and IPTC data.
 
```
Dim bitmap As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap

'Read bitmap and metadata
Dim jpegReader As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegReader("C:\IMG_0001.jpg")

'Read metadata
Dim exif As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.ExifDictionary = jpegReader.Exif
Dim iptc As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.IptcDictionary = jpegReader.Iptc

'Read bitmap
Dim frame As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.Frame = jpegReader.LoadFrame(0)
frame.GetBitmap(bitmap)

frame.Dispose()

jpegReader.Dispose()

'Show EXIF tags
If Not exif Is Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("EXIF")
    Console.WriteLine("---------------")
    For Each key As Long In exif.Keys
        Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}, {2}", exif.GetKeyDescription(key), _
         exif.Item(key), exif.GetItemString(key))
    Next
End If

'Show IPTC tags
If Not iptc Is Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("IPTC")
    Console.WriteLine("---------------")
    For Each key As Long In iptc.Keys
        Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}, {2}", iptc.GetKeyDescription(key), _
         iptc.Item(key), iptc.GetItemString(key))
    Next
End If

'Process bitmap...
bitmap.Transforms.RotateAndFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone)

'...
```
 
```csharp
using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap bitmap =
    new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap())
{
    //Read bitmap and metadata
    Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.ExifDictionary exif = null;
    Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.IptcDictionary iptc = null;

    using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegReader jpegReader =
        new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegReader(@"C:\IMG_0001.jpg"))
    {
        //Read metadata
        exif = jpegReader.Exif;
        iptc = jpegReader.Iptc;

        //Read bitmap
        using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.IFrame frame = jpegReader.LoadFrame(0))
        {
            frame.GetBitmap(bitmap);
        }
    }
    //Show EXIF tags
    if (exif != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("EXIF");
        Console.WriteLine("---------------");
        foreach (long key in exif.Keys)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}, {2}", exif.GetKeyDescription(key),
                exif[key], exif.GetItemString(key));
        }
    }

    //Show IPTC tags
    if (iptc != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("IPTC");
        Console.WriteLine("---------------");
        foreach (long key in iptc.Keys)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}, {2}", iptc.GetKeyDescription(key),
                iptc[key], iptc.GetItemString(key));
        }
    }

    //Process bitmap...
    bitmap.Transforms.RotateAndFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone);

    //...
}
```
