Metadata

These samples show how to read and write image metadata, including EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and Adobe image resource blocks. They demonstrate preserving metadata during conversions and resizes, as well as performing lossless updates in formats like JPEG and TIFF. Examples cover extracting and embedding thumbnails and working with clipping paths stored as metadata. You can also access metadata without decoding full bitmaps and map fields to strongly typed structures where available.
