Thank you , Gary. At this time, I am wondering about the following: 1. Are there any differences between the Sanselan and Imaging classes which would cause the Imaging class, but not the Sanselan class, to reject a JPEG file? I am asking this because now that I have loaded the Jar files from Commons Imaging and made the necessary syntactic changes, some JPEG files I've been using cannot be read by Imaging.getMetadata() whereas they were read properly by Sanselan.getMetadata. 2. Is there any way the formatted string from a date-time tag could change? While I was tweaking my code to format the date tags, the format of the date string from the tag was "'yyyy:mm:dd hh:MM:ss'" (the date string was enclosed in single-quotes). Now, at least one JPEG file appears to have a formatted date string with the format "yyyy:mm:dd hh:MM:ss," (the single-quotes are gone, and there is a comma at the end). I am wondering how this may have happened. 3. What is the current progress in enabling the writing of IPTC data? 4. Are there any useful code samples or tutorials that would help me in understanding the following classes: JpegImageParser, IptcParser, IptcRecord, JpegIptcRewriter, App13Segment.
Thanks! Best, Mary K. Maulucci
