Is there some way (other than rolling my own image readers) to just get the metadata from a file rather than having to load the entire thing? A third party class that would be something like "NSImageInfo" (if Apple had written such a class)
Look into ImageIO on the OS. It is not a Cocoa class library but rather a C-level framework. You can get the properties from an image probably a good deal more efficiently than via NSImage. And you could easily wrap it all in your own "ImageInfo" Objective-C class if you want.
