Component body

iptc is a module that will extract iptc caption and keyword tags from images added to drupal.
It depends on the image module.

It uses a plugin system to allow different libraries to be utilised to extract the data from
an image.

Currently it's supporting the standard php functions, the exiftool binary, the exiv2 binary.

This module is sponsored by photoscout.co.uk

Requirements
The module is being developed under php5. I have no idea how it performs under php4
To use the binaries, you'll need to check with your host that you can run binaries (and that safe mode isn't on as the module uses the exec command).
The exiv2 binaries are available here: http://www.exiv2.org
The exiftool binary is available here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

TODO List:
At the present time I'm not taking any notice of the exif tags as this is handled by the
Exif module; but I am in the process of making this module extract the exif tags and store them
in the database rather than reading them on-the-fly.

A future addition will be the "php jpeg metadata toolkit" and possibly any other applications
that I can find to accomplish this task.
