Processing
Providing metadata cleanup and custom programming for picture format conversions.
Simply put, the term metadata describes additional information about the main data.
As implied from its Greek root ‘meta’ (meaning beyond), it is not just ‘data about data’, but information that actually accompanies the data, providing detail that goes beyond the subject matter.

Displaying metadata is essential for professional photographers who want to access vital information about their images.
BlueFX offers robust software that enables users to easily view and use metadata associated with their photos.
During the processing of images in the print workflow, users can access a wealth of information such as camera settings, exposure details, lens information, and much more.
BlueFX provides effortless navigation through picture metadata, allowing users to gain valuable insights into their images.
Additionally, BlueFX allows users to customize the display of metadata, making it easy to focus on the specific information they require.
BlueFX excels at extracting metadata from pictures, enabling users to retrieve valuable information embedded within their image files.
With BlueFX’s advanced algorithms, users can effortlessly read and extract metadata from a wide range of image formats.
Whether it’s EXIF data, IPTC information, or XMP metadata, BlueFX ensures accurate and reliable extraction.
This feature is particularly useful for photographers who want to analyze large collections of images, as it allows them to quickly access and organize their files based on various metadata attributes.
Managing and editing metadata is a fundamental aspect of image processing, and BlueFX offers powerful tools to streamline this process.
Within the BlueFX workflow, users can easily edit and modify metadata associated with their images on the fly.
Whether it’s adding copyright information, or including geolocation data, BlueFX provides a powerful process to make these changes seamlessly.
Furthermore, BlueFX’s software supports batch processing, enabling users to apply metadata edits to multiple images simultaneously, saving valuable time and effort.
Efficient metadata management is essential for photographers and organizations that deal with large-volume image collections.
BlueFX offers a set of tools aimed at high-volume production for professional photographers in Schools, Events, and Web ordering.
They allow the user to extract important information to import into other databases or use to control and direct the printing workflow:
e.g. school photographers might wish to extract pupil information such as name and classes; Events and Sports photographers might wish to extract event description, date and location.
And by leveraging BlueFX’s powerful metadata handling capabilities users better organize image assets storage and image upload.
Embedding metadata directly into image files is a crucial step to protect intellectual property and maintain data integrity.
BlueFX provides seamless integration of metadata embedding functionality into its software suite.
Users can effortlessly embed information such as copyright notices, contact details, and usage rights directly into their images, ensuring that this information remains intact even when the images are shared or distributed.
BlueFX’s embedding capabilities also extend to batch processing, making it efficient to apply metadata to multiple images simultaneously.
More recently we have become increasingly aware of the presence of Metadata in our everyday lives.
Mobile phones for example are able to capture a large amount of data like GPS location, Identity, and Time which can find themselves as metadata tags to pictures on say Instagram© and on Social Media posting platforms.
Information on the content of a picture file: such as a title or description of the image, can be placed in the corresponding metadata title and description fields contained in the file records.
Some examples of which are metadata tags of digital image files; metadata objects in xml or html; and information contained in the document properties which comprise pdf metadata
More widely, metadata is used to establish a standard vocabulary and taxonomy in the cataloguing of media assets in a digital repository as implemented by the metadata standards presented in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
Image information and metadata management through keyword search, have become increasingly important as the volume of digital images rise and the requirement to control and harness their full commercial potential becomes increasingly essential.

When Digital Photos and Scanned Images need to be transmitted to digital printers or digital minilabs, we have written driver software to prepare the images by sorting them by origin or type, converting and scaling them.
JPEG has been the most popular format and conversion to and from this format (e.g JPG to BMP, BMP to JPG, TIFF to JPG, JPG to TIFF or even involving text documents like DOC to JPG or Word to JPG) together with image resizing, jpeg repair is often a key stage in the process.
Data Extraction by capturing information like camera data (e.g flash detection, scene information and color space) as well as getting information from metadata Tags such as in IPTC, EXIF and TIFF, are utilised in the preparation of the image.
Such information can then go on to be used to make Standard Prints, Contact Sheets, Index Prints used in areas like School Photography, Justice, and Web Fulfilment.
From a technical aspect, such information has proved critical in driving printing and scanning processes: from High Resolution Scanners to Inkjet Printers and Digital Minilabs
Over the years, well over 50 devices have been driven by the development of custom interfaces using SDKs and direct programming protocols.
In many of these workflows, including those where information is captured say, from Kiosks or Databases, we are able to use certain ontology to write Digital Image Metadata to TIFF, JPEG, XMP and other receptive formats.
An example, which can be found in many inspection processes as a result of say, nondestructive testing (NDT), is that images can be stored separately from other captured data – we can both import and export metadata.
The two data forms can be merged by exporting to a format where technical information can be stored in the image metadata (we have software for adding metadata to images).
This can be seen in images where geolocation metadata is important, the image capture having been determined by GPS or more traditional methods.
By georeferencing, the geotagged digital image can be geoencoded using an image file format that supports the addition of this geographic information (latitude and longitude).
Well-Log images, plots and charts in oil, gas and petroleum exploration industries feature such geotechnical information which we can add as metadata.
A more general example might be where a programmatic solution is required, say in Microsoft(c) SharePoint installations, where there is associated data in a metadata csv file which needs incorporating into the image file metadata. This might also need renaming.
Conversely, metadata extraction, during metadata cleanup perhaps, can be performed on digital image files such as JPEG and TIFF.
This metadata cleanup service enables the removal of sensitive information from the picture file e.g patient information as in the case of medical images.
We can extract metadata entirely by converting into simpler image file formats and discarding or exporting the information data as e.g metadata xml, to view the metadata separately. We can also provide the transfer of metadata during file migration.
A Federal Judge in a recent court case has ruled that metadata must also be disclosed under any Freedom of Information requests for electronic documents.
This has given added importance to metadata cleanup in the management of personal, private or privileged information contained in these document fields or when you access the metadata in digital photos.
