Fields

FieldDescription
IMAGE_WIDTHThe number of columns of image data, equal to the number of pixels per row.
IMAGE_LENGTHThe number of rows of image data.
BITS_PER_SAMPLEThe number of bits per image component. In this standard each component of the image is 8 bits, so the value for this tag is 8.
COMPRESSIONThe compression scheme used for the image data. When a primary image is JPEG compressed, this designation is not necessary and is omitted.
PHOTOMETRIC_INTERPRETATIONThe pixel composition.
IMAGE_DESCRIPTIONA character string giving the title of the image. It may be a comment such as “1988 company picnic” or the like.
MAKEThe manufacturer of the recording equipment. This is the manufacturer of the DSC, scanner, video digitizer or other equipment that generated the image. When the field is left blank, it is treated as unknown.
MODELThe model name or model number of the equipment. This is the model name or number of the DSC, scanner, video digitizer or other equipment that generated the image. When the field is left blank, it is treated as unknown.
ORIENTATIONThe image orientation viewed in terms of rows and columns.
SAMPLES_PER_PIXELThe number of components per pixel. Since this standard applies to RGB and YCbCr images, the value set for this tag is 3.
X_RESOLUTIONThe number of pixels per ResolutionUnit in the ImageWidth direction. When the image resolution is unknown, 72 [dpi] is designated.
Y_RESOLUTIONThe number of pixels per ResolutionUnit in the ImageLength direction. The same value as XResolution is designated.
PLANAR_CONFIGURATIONIndicates whether pixel components are recorded in a chunky or planar format. If this field does not exist, the TIFF default of 1 (chunky) is assumed.
RESOLUTION_UNITThe unit for measuring XResolution and YResolution. The same unit is used for both XResolution and YResolution. If the image resolution is unknown, 2 (inches) is designated.
TRANSFER_FUNCTIONA transfer function for the image, described in tabular style. Normally this tag is not necessary, since color space is specified in the color space information ColorSpace tag.
SOFTWAREThis tag records the name and version of the software or firmware of the camera or image input device used to generate the image. The detailed format is not specified, but it is recommended that the example shown below be followed. When the field is left blank, it is treated as unknown.
DATE_TIMEThe date and time of image creation. In Exif standard, it is the date and time the file was changed.
ARTISTThis tag records the name of the camera owner, photographer or image creator. The detailed format is not specified, but it is recommended that the information be written as in the example below for ease of Interoperability. When the field is left blank, it is treated as unknown. Ex.) “Camera owner, John Smith; Photographer, Michael Brown; Image creator, Ken James”
WHITE_POINTThe chromaticity of the white point of the image. Normally this tag is not necessary, since color space is specified in the colorspace information ColorSpace tag.
PRIMARY_CHROMATICITIESThe chromaticity of the three primary colors of the image. Normally this tag is not necessary, since colorspace is specified in the colorspace information ColorSpace tag.
Y_CB_CR_COEFFICIENTSThe matrix coefficients for transformation from RGB to YCbCr image data.
Y_CB_CR_SUB_SAMPLINGThe sampling ratio of chrominance components in relation to the luminance component.
Y_CB_CR_POSITIONINGThe position of chrominance components in relation to the
luminance component. This field is designated only for
JPEG compressed data or uncompressed YCbCr data. The TIFF
default is 1 (centered); but when Y:Cb:Cr = 4:2:2 it is
recommended in this standard that 2 (co-sited) be used to
record data, in order to improve the image quality when viewed
on TV systems. When this field does not exist, the reader shall
assume the TIFF default. In the case of Y:Cb:Cr = 4:2:0, the
TIFF default (centered) is recommended. If the reader
does not have the capability of supporting both kinds of
YCbCrPositioning, it shall follow the TIFF default regardless
of the value in this field. It is preferable that readers "
be able to support both centered and co-sited positioning.
REFERENCE_BLACK_WHITEThe reference black point value and reference white point
value. No defaults are given in TIFF, but the values below are given as defaults here.
The color space is declared
in a color space information tag, with the default
being the value that gives the optimal image characteristics
Interoperability these conditions
COPYRIGHTCopyright information. In this standard the tag is used to
indicate both the photographer and editor copyrights. It is
the copyright notice of the person or organization claiming
rights to the image. The Interoperability copyright
statement including date and rights should be written in this
field; e.g., “Copyright, John Smith, 19xx. All rights
reserved.”. In this standard the field records both the
photographer and editor copyrights, with each recorded in a
separate part of the statement. When there is a clear distinction
between the photographer and editor copyrights, these are to be
written in the order of photographer followed by editor copyright,
separated by NULL (in this case since the statement also ends with
a NULL, there are two NULL codes). When only the photographer
copyright is given, it is terminated by one NULL code . When only
the editor copyright is given, the photographer copyright part
consists of one space followed by a terminating NULL code, then
the editor copyright is given. When the field is left blank, it is
treated as unknown.
