We are devoting this entire month to metadata. (Yes, we know it’s technically still June, but every day feels like Groundhog Day.)

In this post we provide an overview of off-the-shelf tools for developers to properly access file formats and enable standard functionality.
In this post, we dive into the structure of image formats. We look at the purposes, specifications and standardization.
Formats are developed to support a particular application, media type or process. To evaluate the suitability of a particular format, it’s useful to list the various classes of function that the format supports.
