Read XMP/IPTC data

[karlkrist]

Hello all-

I am reading data out of a JPEG. Specifically the EXIF and IPTC data. One of the fields I want is iptc.intellectualGenre.

Unfortunately- I cannot get to that with the imageGetIPTCMetadata(thispic) function. That field just seems to be missing. But according to the IPTC people, it is part of their core.

Okay, now step two...using an outside program, (PIE) I can see that it pushes Intellectual Genre to the XMD section. Alas, I cannot read XMD at all.

Is there a fairly simple way to read XMD, or just the IPTC.IntellectualGenre?

Thanks-

Karl

(oh, and going to the Adobe XMD Dev site has not helped me at all...)

dumb question but is that data in the image? i just tested against
http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/sampleOutput.html & cf produces the same
output as that lib (it should as cf's EXIT & IPTC metadata is based on his java
lib).

also when did this tag & the "core" bits get released? after that lib?

btw the EXIF data differed in tag names (the GPS bits mainly).

uh that's EXIF not EXIT ;-)

Okay, I ended up writing my own routine to read the XMP data.

Sad though, that ADOBE ColdFusion cannot read ADOBE XMP (or .flv files for that matter!) out of the box.
