Grayed cells indicate unsupported items. Example: a PNG format does not support IPTC native data. |
||||||||||
(1) possible future support (2) reading of clipping path for EPS format does not cover all possible cases (3) IPTC here is intended as file format containing only IPTC data and no image - it is rare and used infrequently (4) You can save only one PSD with modified metadata (actually only XMP) (5) It is possible to read and manage: TIFF RGB on 48bit (16bit by color plane) - TIFF RGB on 96bit (32bit by color plane) - TIFF Grayscale on 16bit - TIFF Grayscale on 32bit, but you cannot save an image in this format. (6) Partial support only, GPS information is not supported. |
