Hey, thanks much for exiftool.

When i extract tiff image (saved in PhotoShop CS3 beta)
just a basic exiftool filename, and exiftool -h -w  both same results as in after Photoshop Data Tag.

ran into a issue with TIFF format images. where the ... after the Blue Matrix Column, i get this..

 Image Source Data
Adobe Photoshop Document Data Block8BIMLayr.AAA..AA.A random block of text charters output , cant post on this from.

in result the exif ends up being 25mb, when the tiff is about 50mb

any solution? ill try Phtoshop CS2, to see if its same results or not. maybe its just Adobe Beta of CS3?

It sounds like CS3 is storing a huge block of data that should
probably be treated as binary data.  Could you please run
the command "exiftool -G1 -H -a FILENAME" on your CS3
image, and tell me the output that occurs just before the
random block of characters?

Also, what version of ExifTool are you using?

Thanks.

After posting this, i read in manual about exile of tag when using exiftool. very good. i was able resolve the issue be  exiftool --ImageSourceData file.tif

OK, thanks.  I will change the ImageSourceData tag to a binary type
so it doesn't mess up the output.  This update will appear in the
next ExifTool release, which should be within a day or so.

Yes, i am using current version 6.67 (1.1 MB) - Dec. 30, 2006.

hm.. it could be photoshop cs2, not just cs3.

[IFD0]          0x0128 Resolution Unit                 : inches
[IFD0]          0x0131 Software                        : Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows

IFD0 is the good block, then its all mostly text data after that.
