Rosetta Metadata-extractor tool

Rosetta Metadata-extractor tool. Chris Erickson. March 10, 2015.
We have been looking at creating a Rosetta plugin to extract metadata from other types of image files, particularly Canon raw images. A tool on Github looked like it was a great starting place; it was created by Drew Noakes. This tool extracts many types metadata from many types of image files, including the Canon and Nikon raw images. This extractor tool metadata-extractor, is a Java library and works with Exif, IPTC, XMP, ICC and other metadata which may be present in a single image:

Metadata formats include:

• Exif
• IPTC
• XMP
• JFIF / JFXX
• ICC Profiles
• Photoshop fields
• PNG properties
• BMP properties
• GIF properties
• PCX properties

Types of files it will process:

• JPEG
• TIFF
• WebP
• PSD
• PNG
• BMP
• GIF
• ICO
• PCX
• Camera Raw

Camera-specific "makernote" data is decoded for many types of digital cameras.
Our plugin can extract the relevant metadata; we are working now to integrate that with Rosetta to process our SIP files.
