The TIFF Property, EXIF Property, IPTC Property and XMP Property of ImGearMetadataHead Class, defined in the ImageGear22.Core assembly, use ImGearFormatMetadata Class type. ImGearFormatMetadata Class does not have any public members. If the application uses Simplified Metadata API, it shall cast TIFF, EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties to actual classes ImGearTIFFMetadata Class, ImGearEXIFMetadata Class, ImGearIPTCMetadata Class and ImGearXMPMetadataRoot Class, respectively. These classes are defined in the ImageGear22.Formats.SimplifiedMetadata assembly. The following two examples demonstrate this:
