[REBOL] Re: Image processing and embedding metadata in images?
From: media:quazart at: 13-Nov-2001 9:14
IFF can store ANY type of metadata. you can link several data packets
inside it... for example, most IFF/ILBM images also had a palette block...
which defined the colors to use for the image... this made the ILBM pretty
flexible. and you could also have GFX packages which included vector
drawings AND pre-rendered ILBM block for programs which only supported
that.
Some word-processors programs stored an ascii-only version of all the text
so that it could be pasted directly within the clipboard engine (which is
also iff based, if I remember well!)
