Image::...GeoTiff(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::GeoTiff — it reads GeoTiff meta information 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the thing bestie: you literally never have to do anything. no cap.

This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she just shows up when she's needed 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this module is the plug that holds all the definitions Image::ExifTool needs to actually interpret GeoTiff meta information. 🎀

and why do we care? because GeoTiff info is what images use to spell out the exact geometric mappings used to transform the image into real world coordinates. like, actual map coordinates. it's giving cartographer main character energy fr fr 🗺️✨

tl;dr: the image knows where it is on planet earth, and this module is the translator that lets ExifTool read that. iconic.
