But I don't know anything other than it exists.
I'd be interested in hearing more about your problems (like which version of Photoshop) because we're programmatically extracting data from tiff headers and I expect we'll run into the same problem as we accept more material from long-term faculty projects for our digital library.

Thanks for the various suggestions -- I'm still looking though; all of the sites that I've been directed to, or found, that cater to PC/Wintel-oriented users offer only source code libraries, usually in C++, that I could use to build tiff manipulating software. Alas, that's a bit beyond me.
I should explain that what I'm trying to do is trace the progress of metadata keyed-in through a couple of different versions of Photoshop, through the tiff files output from them, into a program called Portfolio Extensis, which we are using as a temporary holding-bin for our digitized images. Extensis is a specialized database app that will read tiff headers into a record structure, including the custom metadata that one can create in Photoshop and export to a tiff header. Unfortunately, we're having some trouble finding the data in the tiff files and mapping it consistently to the same fields in Extensis. I figured that if I could just read the header on the tiff file, I would have a better idea of what's going on.

Subject: RE: Tiff Metadata reader?
If you're on a Mac and looking for a pretty cheap & diry solution
which will give you access to some, but not all tiff file header
fields, check out iViewMultimediaPro at
http://www.iview-multimedia.com/. This nifty little asset management
program also lets you export the information of your choice to
tab-delimited text so it can be imported into another database
system. It doesn't let you look at the actual tagging of the image
file, though, if that's the prime concern - only at the content.
Best,
Guenter
