NAME
Image::ExifTool::TagNames - ExifTool tag name documentation
DESCRIPTION
This document contains a complete list of ExifTool tag names, organized into tables based on information type. Tag names are used to indicate the specific meta information that is extracted or written in an image.
TAG TABLES
The tables listed below give the names of all tags recognized by ExifTool, excluding shortcut and unknown tags.
A Tag ID or Index is given in the first column of each table. A Tag ID is the computer-readable equivalent of a tag name, and is the identifier that is actually stored in the file. An Index refers to the location of the information, and is used if the information is stored at a fixed position in a data block.
A Tag Name is the handle by which the information is accessed. In some instances, more than one name may correspond to a single tag ID. In these cases, the actual name used depends on the context in which the information is found. Case is not significant for tag names. A question mark after a tag name indicates that the information is either not understood, not verified, or not very useful these tags are not extracted by ExifTool unless the Unknown (-u) option is enabled. Be aware that some tag names are different than the descriptions printed out by default when extracting information with exiftool. To see the tag names instead of the descriptions, use exiftool -S.
The Writable column indicates whether the tag is writable by ExifTool. Anything but an N in this column means the tag is writable. A Y indicates writable information that is either unformatted or written using the existing format. Other expressions give details about the information format, and vary depending on the general type of information. The format name may be followed by a number in square brackets to indicate the number of values written, or the number of characters in a fixed-length string (including a null terminator which is added if required).
An asterisk (CW*) in the Writable column indicates a 'protected' tag which is not writable directly, but is set via a Composite tag. A tilde (CW~) indicates a tag this is only writable when print conversion is disabled (by setting PrintConv to 0, or using the -n option). An exclamation point (CW!) indicates a tag that is considered unsafe to write under normal circumstances. These 'unsafe' tags are not set when calling SetNewValuesFromFile() or when using the exiftool -TagsFromFile option, and care should be taken when editing them manually since they may affect the way an image is rendered.
The HTML version of this document also lists possible Values for all tags which have a discrete set of values, and gives Notes for some tags.
Note: If you are familiar with common meta-information tag names, you may find that some ExifTool tag names are different than expected. The usual reason for this is to make the tag names more consistent across different types of meta information. To determine a tag name, either consult this documentation or run exiftool -S on a file containing the information in question.
EXIF Tags
EXIF stands for 'Exchangeable Image File Format'. This type of information may be found in JPG, TIFF, PNG, MIFF and DNG images.
The EXIF meta information is organized into different Image File Directories (IFD's) within an image. The names of these IFD's correspond to the ExifTool family 1 group names. When writing EXIF information, the default Group listed below is used unless another group is specified.

XMP Tags
XMP stands for 'Extensible Metadata Platform', an XML/RDF-based metadata format which is being pushed by Adobe. Information in this format can be embedded in many different image file types including JPG, JP2, TIFF, PNG, MIFF, PS, PDF, PSD and DNG.
The XMP Tag ID's aren't listed because in most cases they are identical to the Tag Name.
All XMP information is stored as character strings. The Writable column specifies the information format: CWinteger is a string of digits (possibly beginning with a '+' or '-'), CWreal is a floating point number, CWrational is two CWinteger strings separated by a '/' character, CWdate is a date/time string in the format 'YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS[+/-HH:MM]', CWboolean is either 'True' or 'False', and CWlang-alt is a list of string alternatives in different languages. Currently, ExifTool only writes the 'x-default' language in CWlang-alt lists.
The XMP tags are organized according to schema namespace in the following tables. The table names correspond to the XMP namespace prefixes, which are used to generate the family 1 group names by adding the prefix 'XMP-'. If the same XMP tag name exists in more than one group, all groups are written unless a family 1 group name is specified. ie) If XMP:Contrast is specified, information will be written to both XMP-crs:Contrast and XMP-exif:Contrast.
ExifTool will extract XMP information even if it is not listed in these tables. For example, the CWpdfx namespace doesn't have a predefined set of tag names because it is used to store application-defined PDF information, but this information is extracted by ExifTool anyway.

XMP iptcCore Tags
IPTC Core schema tags. The actual IPTC Core namespace schema prefix is CWIptc4xmpCore, which is the name used in the file, but ExifTool uses CWiptcCore to generate the family 1 group name of XMP-iptcCore because XMP-Iptc4xmpCore is a bit lengthy.

IPTC Tags
IPTC stands for 'International Press Telecommunications Council'. This is an older meta information format that is slowly being phased out in favor of XMP. IPTC information may be embedded in JPG, TIFF, PNG, MIFF, PS, PDF, PSD and DNG images.
The IPTC specification dictates a length for ASCII (CWstring or CWdigits) values. These lengths are given in square brackets after the Writable format name. For tags where a range of lengths is allowed, the minimum and maximum lengths are separated by a comma within the brackets. IPTC strings are not null terminated.
IPTC information is separated into different records, each of which has its own set of tags.

Photoshop Tags
Photoshop tags are found in PSD files, as well as inside embedded Photoshop information in many other file types (JPEG, TIFF, PDF, PNG to name a few).
Many Photoshop tags are marked as Unknown (indicated by a question mark after the tag name) because the information they provide is not very useful under normal circumstances. Unknown tags are not extracted unless the Unknown (-u) option is used.

GPS Tags
These GPS tags are part of the EXIF standard, and are stored in a separate IFD within the EXIF information.
ExifTool is very flexible about the input format for lat/long coordinates, and will accept 3 floating point numbers (for degrees, minutes and seconds) separated by just about anything. Many other GPS tags have values which are fixed-length strings. For these, the indicated string lengths include a null terminator which is added automatically by ExifTool.
When adding GPS information to an image, it is important to set all of the following tags: GPSLatitude, GPSLatitudeRef, GPSLongitude, GPSLongitudeRef, GPSAltitude and GPSAltitudeRef.

Minolta Tags
These tags are used by Minolta and Konica/Minolta cameras. Minolta doesn't make things easy for decoders because the meaning of some tags and the location where some information is stored is different for different camera models. (Take MinoltaQuality for example, which may be located in 3 different places.)

Nikon encrypts the LensData information below if LensDataVersion is 0201, but the decryption algorithm is known so the information can be extracted. It isn't yet writable, however, because the encryption adds complications which make writing more difficult.

Sony SRF Tags
The maker notes in SRF (Sony Raw Format) images contain 7 IFD's (with family 1 group names SRF0 through SRF6). SRF0 through SRF5 use these Sony tags, while SRF6 uses standard EXIF tags. All information other than SRF0 is encrypted, but thanks to Dave Coffin the decryption algorithm is known.

CanonRaw Tags
These tags apply only to CRW-format Canon RAW files. When writing CanonRaw information, the length of the information is preserved (and the new information is truncated or padded as required) unless Writable is CWresize. Currently, only JpgFromRaw and ThumbnailImage are allowed to change size.

BMP Tags
There really isn't much meta information in a BMP file as such, just a bit of image related information.

PNG TextualData Tags
The PNG TextualData format allows aribrary tag names to be used. The tags listed below are the only ones that can be written (unless new user-defined tags are added via the configuration file), however ExifTool will extract any other TextualData tags that are found.
The information for the TextualData tags may be stored as tEXt, zTXt or iTXt chunks in the PNG image. ExifTool will read and edit tags in their original form, but only tEXt chunks are written when creating new tags (except for the profiles which are written as zTXt if Compress::Zlib is available).
Some of the tags below are not registered as part of the PNG specification, but are included here because they are generated by other software such as ImageMagick.

MNG Tags
This table contains definitions for tags found in MNG and JNG images. MNG is a superset of PNG and JNG, so a MNG image may contain any of these tags as well as any PNG tags. Conversely, only some of these tags are valid for JNG images.

PICT Tags
The PICT format contains no true meta information, except for the possible exception of the LongComment opcode. By default, only ImageWidth, ImageHeight and X/YResolution are extracted from a PICT image. Tags in the following table represent image opcodes, and extraction of these opcodes is experimental and is only enabled when the Verbose option is set.
