IPTC Description

The IPTC application was developed to be a small tool that uses a sample class that manipulates information (e.g. caption, author, copyrights,...) that is stored in a JPEG file.An application that extracts image information from a JPEG image, I didn't know that a JPEG file can contain various information beside the pure image information (size, colors and image data). But it can contain quite a whole lot of textual and other sort of information like copyrights, captions, keywords and other stuff. Adobe Photoshop can be used to manipulate this information from the File->File information menu. (This is probably the right place to mention that all Photoshop information here is translated from a German copy of Photoshop and thus might not exactly match the real names of the English version). Ok. So you can edit the data with Photoshop. But what if you would like to use this data in your own application, let's say to store the images in a database along with the extracted information? That's the task of this class. You pass a file name, and then the member variables are filled. You can even modify them and write them back to the JPEG file. However this currently only works with files that already contain IPTC information.
