Photoshop Tags
Photoshop tags are found in PSD and PSB files, as well as inside embedded
Photoshop information in many other file types (JPEG, TIFF, PDF, PNG to name
a few).
Many Photoshop tags are marked as Unknown (indicated by a question mark
after the tag name) because the information they provide is not very useful
under normal circumstances. These unknown tags are not extracted unless the
Unknown (-u) option is used. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/photoshop/fileformatashtml/ for the
official specification
Photoshop path tags (Tag ID's 0x7d0 to 0xbb5) are not defined by default,
but a config file included in the full ExifTool distribution
(config_files/photoshop_paths.config) contains the tag definitions to allow
access to this information.

IPTCDigest |
string! |
(this tag indicates provides a way for XMP-aware applications to indicate
that the XMP is synchronized with the IPTC. The MWG recommendation is to
ignore the XMP if IPTCDigest exists and doesn't match the CurrentIPTCDigest.
When writing, special values of "new" and "old" represent the digests of the
IPTC from the edited and original files respectively, and are undefined if
the IPTC does not exist in the respective file. Set this to "new" as an
indication that the XMP is synchronized with the IPTC) |
