Description of the project.

Images stored in the TIFF or JPEG format can include a number of data fields to describe the image. This is called IPTC Text, or is sometimes referred to as FileInfo or JPEG Meta Data. TIFF and JPEG files can also incude another type of data called EXIF data. EXIF data is usually recorded at the time an image is created and contains such information as the camera settings used. csXImage allows all these data fields to be edited.

This is a VB.NET or VB 5/6 project that demonstrates the manipulation of this data in csXImage.

The image below is a screenshot from the demo application. This shows the Copyright section of the IPTC Text being edited for a JPEG image.
