Image::ExifTool::WritePostScript(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
Image::ExifTool::WritePostScript.pl - Write PostScript meta information
SYNOPSIS
This file is autoloaded by Image::ExifTool::PostScript.
DESCRIPTION
This file contains routines to write meta information in PostScript
documents. Six forms of meta information may be written:
1) PostScript comments (Adobe DSC specification)
2) XMP information embedded in a document-level XMP stream
3) EXIF information embedded in a Photoshop record
4) IPTC information embedded in a PhotoShop record
5) ICC_Profile information embedded in an ICCProfile record
6) TIFF information embedded in DOS-style binary header
NOTES
Currently, information is written only in the outer-level document.
Photoshop will discard meta information in a PostScript document if it
has to rasterize the image, and it will rasterize anything that doesn't
contain the Photoshop-specific 'ImageData' tag. So don't expect
Photoshop to read any meta information added to EPS images that it
didn't create.
The following two acronyms may be confusing since they are so similar
and have different meanings with respect to PostScript documents:
DSC = Document Structuring Conventions
DCS = Desktop Color Separation
