Image::Magick is probably overkill

What file information do you want out of the JPEG? If all you want is dimensions, take a look at the Image::Size module on the CPAN. There are probably other modules that will do read-only stuff on jpegs as well.

If you're just looking for reading stuff from the file, Image::Magick may well be overkill.

I'm already using Image::magick for a host of other functions it is good at: changing image size, annotating, changing format. So to clarify: How can one use image::magick to get the "File Information" encoded by photoshop? (copyright, keywords, author, comments, etc..)This information doesn't seem to be put where ever the "comments" that image::magick can extract with a GET command....is there a way? Thanks!	[reply]

Did you check main Imagemagick site? I find that the docs there for the system as a whole are often more complete than for the PerlMagick modules. xoxo, Andy -- <megaphone> Throw down the gun and tiara and come out of the float! </megaphone>	[reply]
