Image::...ptureOne(3)

✨ Image::ExifTool::CaptureOne ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're talking about Image::ExifTool::CaptureOne — it lives in the Perl world (section 3 of the manual, iykyk) and it's the little helper that reads your Capture One files 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Image::ExifTool::CaptureOne — it reads Capture One EIP and COS files. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

real talk, you don't call this one yourself. it's used by Image::ExifTool, the main character 👑

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this module is basically a lil bag of definitions that Image::ExifTool needs so it can go dig out meta information from Capture One files. specifically:

• EIP files — that's Enhanced Image Package, bestie, the fancy ones ✨
• COS files — that's Capture One Settings 🎀

that's the whole vibe. definitions in, metadata out. no cap 💖

---

🎀 NOTES 🎀

okay this part is actually lowkey iconic. the EIP format is literally just a ZIP file 🌈

and inside that ZIP? two things:

1. an image — either IIQ or TIFF 🖼️
2. some settings files — those are the COS files 🫶

so it's giving "zip file with an identity crisis" and honestly? relatable 🙈
