IPTC informations

[Lionel]

Hi,

I need to read the IPTC *keywords* tag from a jpeg file.
I can read all the EXIF tags with this little part of code:

string MyFile = "c:\afile.jpeg"
Image MyImage = Image.FromFile(myFile);
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding Value = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
MessageBox.Show(Value.GetString(MyImage.GetPropertyItem(270).Value));

Here, 270 is one of the EXIF tags.
But how can i read the IPTC tags ? Just the one containing the Keywords
would be fine !

Thanks !

If you know the byte order of the image type, you could get it. I've done
the same thing with Tiffs. You would open the file to a binary FileStream,
and move the stream pointer (fs.Seek) to read the bytes from the stream,
using the BitConverter class to convert the bytes to their respective data
types.
