title: Extracting IPTC/EXIF data from tif files in using Java
body: <p>The system I'm working on has a feature to extract metadata from JPEG files using the <code>com.drew.metadata</code> package. <a href="http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/</a> However that is limited to JPEG files, and now a customer has asked about extracting IPTC from TIF, and possibly other image formats.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know about similar APIs to Drew Noakes one, that can extract IPTC from TIF?</p>
  
  <p>Ideally this would be a pure Java approach like the <code>com.drew.metadata</code> one.</p>
