- GRAPHICS DESCRIPTION PLUGINS
- ============================
- Graphics description is a supplemental plugins module for importing details
- about most often used graphic file formats in use today. All plugins provide
- details such as width, height, and color depth of the picture, and most
- of them (GIF, JPG, TIFF, PSD, and PNG) can extract more detailed information
- if available, as well.
-
- Graphics formats supported for description importing:
-
- Windows or OS/2 Bitmap Files (*.BMP)
- CompuServe Bitmap Files (*.GIF)
- JPEG Bitmap Files (*.JPG, *.JPEG, *.JFIF)
- ZSoft Paintbrush Files (*.PCX)
- TIFF Bitmap Files (*.TIF, *.TIFF)
- PNG Bitmap Files (*.PNG)
- Adobe Photoshop Files (*.PSD)
- Targa Bitmap Files (*.TGA,*.VST)
-
- Digital Camera Support
- ----------------------
- The JPEG and TIFF plugins include additional support to extract exposure
- information commonly embedded in images transferred from digital cameras.
- Please note however that not all cameras use the same format for storing
- these details, and they are generally lost if image is edited. Both plugins
- include support for the ISO-standardized EXIF format that is supported by
- most newer digital cameras today and by few different manufacturers, and
- are capable of exporting details such as camera model, shutter and aperture
- values, flash usage, focal length used etc.
-
-

- catalog as a reference.
