C# TIFF - Edit TIFF Metadata in C#.NET

C# Overview - View and Edit TIFF Metadata

RasterEdge .NET SDKs are built to enhance your productivity and streamline workflows. Our .NET SDKs own the most advanced & comprehensive documents and images reading and processing technologies. Among these SDKs, XDoc.Tiff for .NET has a mature imaging utility which allows Tiff image file metadata to be accessed and manipulated. read pdf file in asp.net c#, add image to pdf itextsharp vb.net, merge pdf c# itextsharp, using pdf.js in mvc, c# code to compress pdf file, data matrix code generator c#. In details, C# developers can integrate these Tiff file metadata manipulating features into a broad range of C#.NET projects, including reading, writing, deleting, and updating metadata. This Tiff metadata editing component supports the following metadata types.

EXIF tags

IIM (IPTC)

XMP data

Tiff tags

"Tiff Tag" refers to metadata information that is stored and saved with a Tiff document file. Tiff tag may contains information like color, size, count and value in captured Tiff image. c# itextsharp fill pdf form, create pdf thumbnail image c#, generate pdf report in asp.net c#, convert docx to pdf vb.net, vb.net convert pdf to tiff, c# pdf stamp, vb.net ocr read text from pdf. In the following sections, you will get some C# sample codes for manipulating Tiff image metadata.

C# Project DLLs: Edit TIFF Metadata

In order to run the following conversion code, please do as follows:

Add references;

  RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.dll

  RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.Codec.dll

  RasterEdge.Imaging.Drawing.dll

  RasterEdge.XDoc.Processing.dll

  RasterEdge.Imaging.Raster.dll

  RasterEdge.Imaging.Raster.Core.dll

  RasterEdge.XDoc.TIFF.dll

Use corresponding namespaces;

  using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic;

  using RasterEdge.XDoc.TIFF;

Note: When you get the error "Could not load file or assembly 'RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic' or any other assembly or one of its dependencies. An attempt to load a program with an incorrect format", please check your configure as follows:

If you are using x64 libraries/dlls, Right click the project -> Properties -> Build -> Platform target: x64.

If using x86, the platform target should be x86.

How to Get TIFF XMP Metadata in C#.NET

Use this C# sample code to get Tiff image Xmp metadata for string.

// Load your target Tiff docuemnt.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"c:\demo1.tif");

// Get Xmp metadata for string. And later, you may remove, add or update metadata.
String xmpMetadata = doc.GetXMPMetadata(0);

How to Get TIFF EXIF Metadata in C#.NET

You can get Exif tag of Tiff image by using the following sample code.

// Load your target Tiff document.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"C:\demo1.tif");

// Get the first page of Tiff document.
TIFFPage page = (TIFFPage)doc.GetPage(0);

// Get Tiff tag collection.
TagCollection collection = doc.GetTagCollection(0);

// Get Exif metadata. You can also update, remove, and add metadata.
List<EXIFField> exifMetadata = collection.ExifFields;

How to Get TIFF IPTC Metadata in C#.NET

This example is used for getting IPTC metadata in your C# program.

// Load your target Tiff document.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"C:\demo1.tif");
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to construct TIFF Document");

// Get Tiff tag collection.
TagCollection collection = doc.GetTagCollection(0);

// Get IPTC metadata. You can also update, remove, and add metadata.
List<IPTCField> IPTCMetadata = collection.IptcFields;
