Field Value

When metadata is loaded from a file, all leaves have this field set to explicit values.

When the application creates a leaf, it can either specify an explicit NativeType value or use the default value ImageGear.Formats.ImGearNativeDataTypes.UNKNOWN.

At the time of image saving, most file formats ignore this field and use the file format's standard types for metadata tags. The following file formats take NativeType field into account:

• TIFF format filter saves tags according to the value specified by the NativeType field. If NativeType of a tag is ImageGear.Formats.ImGearNativeDataTypes.UNKNOWN, TIFF filter skips the tag.
