IPTC Non-Image Data Structure
| ImageGear Professional v18.1 > User Guide > File Format Reference > ImageGear Supported Non-Image Data Storage > Non-Image Data Structure > IPTC Non-Image Data Structure |
IPTC, International Press and Telecommunications Council Standards, was created for exchanging different types of information associated with images.
IPTC is not a file format. In TIFF and EXIF_TIFF files, the IPTC data can be stored in a separate TIFF tag IPTC_NAA (id = 33723), or within Adobe Photoshop Resources (id = 34377). In JPEG and EXIF-JPEG files, the IPTC data is stored in Adobe Photoshop APP13 marker segment.
See TIFF Non-Image Data Structure, JPEG Non-Image Data Structure, and Photoshop Image Resource metadata structure.
 |
Use TIFF control parameter SAVE_IPTC_NAA to control the saving of IPTC_NAA tag to TIFF and EXIF_TIFF formats. |
| Name | Id | Type | ValueType | Value | Value Length | Read Only |
| "IPTC" | 0x1C00 | LEVEL_START | UNDEFINED | NULL | 0 | TRUE |
| Record level 1 | ||||||
| ... | ||||||
| Record level n | ||||||
| "IPTC" | 0x1C00 | LEVEL_END | UNDEFINED | NULL | 0 | TRUE |
All items between items with Name "IPTC" and Id 0x1C00 (Type LEVEL_START and LEVEL_END) are interpreted as IPTC data. If during sending data from application level to filter level the first item is omitted the data will not be interpreted and saved.

The<Record#> is identifier of IPTC record. Its value is the number of appropriate IPTC record described in IPTC - NAA IIM4 specification. Record levels must follow in numerical order within IPTC level.

The available <Dataset name>, <Dataset Id>, <Value Length> and <Value Type> values are described below for each IPTC record according to IPTC-NAA IIM4 specification. Dataset value item can follow in any order within appropriate record level.
