photo.allMetadata listed no lens for a RW2: Panasonic writes no Exif LensModel, and the maker note that names the lens is in the Exif of the embedded JpgFromRaw. List that maker note tag (LensType, 0x0051) as a row of a Panasonic group, the same name photo.inspect shows, for a RW2/RWL and for a JPEG with the note in its own Exif. Checked on the CC0 sample DMC-G80 P1000403.RW2: Panasonic / Lens Type = SIGMA 60mm F2.8 DN.
lightcraft-meta (L1)
Photo metadata: EXIF, XMP (read + write), IPTC-IIM, and the containers that carry them.
API
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_exif(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
TIFF-structured Exif block (whole TIFF/DNG/raw file, or JPEG APP1 payload with/without Exif\0\0). try_read_exif reports header errors. |
from_tiff(&Tiff) -> Metadata |
Same, from an already parsed stream (used by lightcraft-raw). |
embedded(&[u8]) -> Embedded |
Sniffs JPEG / PNG / WebP / TIFF and returns the Exif, XMP (+ extended XMP), ICC and IPTC blocks. jpeg_segments, png_chunks, webp_chunks are the per-container walkers. |
parse_xmp(&str) -> Result<XmpData> |
Metadata + the opaque lc:settings JSON + every property (prefix:name, structs flattened as a:b/c:d). |
write_xmp(&Metadata, Option<&str>) -> String |
Complete <?xpacket?> packet; the second argument is LightCraft's full develop settings JSON. |
parse_iptc(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
IIM record 2: title (2:5), keywords (2:25), by-line (2:80), copyright (2:116), caption (2:120), date/time created (2:55/2:60). |
extract(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
Everything for a whole file. Precedence: EXIF → IPTC fills gaps → XMP overrides user fields (rating, label, title, caption, artist, copyright, keywords, GPS) and fills the rest. |
Metadata carries camera (make, model, serial, software), lens (make, model, serial, specification), capture
(date-time with UTC offset and milliseconds, exposure time, f-number, ISO incl. extended ISO, focal length and
35 mm equivalent, flash, exposure bias, program, metering, white balance), orientation, GPS, dimensions and the
user fields (artist, copyright, title, caption, keywords, hierarchical keywords, rating −1…5, colour label).
XMP namespaces
Written: dc, xmp, photoshop, exif, exifEX, tiff, lr (hierarchicalSubject) and ours,
lc = http://ns.lightcraft.app/lc/1.0/ (lc:settings, an opaque JSON string). Reading canonicalises
prefixes by namespace URI, handles attribute and element forms, rdf:Seq/Bag/Alt (x-default first),
rdf:parseType="Resource" and nested-description structs, predefined and numeric entities. Nesting depth
and node count are limited.
Robustness
No panics on malformed input: proptests feed random bytes to every container walker and random text to the XMP parser; truncation tests cut a sample JPEG at every byte.
