@section overview Exiv2 Overview
Exiv2 is a C++ library that provides
- full read and write access to the Exif and Iptc IIM metadata of an image
- read and write access to the Exif and Iptc IIM metadata of an image
through %Exiv2 keys and standard C++ iterators
- Exif MakerNote support:
- MakerNote tags can be accessed just like any other metadata
- a sophisticated write algorithm avoids corrupting the MakerNote:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;1) the MakerNote is not re-located if possible at all, and
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;1) the MakerNote is not re-located if possible, and
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;2) MakerNote IFD offsets are re-calculated if the MakerNote
needs to be moved (for known IFD MakerNotes)
- new camera make/model specific MakerNotes can be added to the library
with minimum effort in OO-fashion (by subclassing MakerNote or IfdMakerNote)
- extract and delete methods for Exif thumbnails (both, JPEG and TIFF thumbnails)
