💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet Image::ExifTool::PhotoMechanic — it reads and writes Photo Mechanic info. that's the whole vibe. and yes, this is that page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, the one your terminal calls Image::...echanic(3) because apparently it ran out of breath mid-name. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lowkey the shortest synopsis ever, no cap:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

that's it. that's the tea. 🫖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what's actually inside this lil file? it's the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs — the little instruction book it reads so it can read and write information that was written by the Camera Bits Photo Mechanic software. Camera Bits! Photo Mechanic! iconic collaboration, fr fr. 🌸

not me being a whole support module for a bigger module. it's giving sidekick energy and honestly? we respect it. 👑

🌈 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 🌈

shoutout time!! 📣

many thanks to the great support provided by Camera Bits, and in particular for the valuable exchanges with Kirk Baker. 💖

and based on that experience, the author can say — and I am quoting the sentiment here, bestie — that the technical support offered by Camera Bits is second to none. like, second to none. nobody is beating that. 🏆✨

real talk reminder: this module is a definitions module. it does its thing through Image::ExifTool, so go hang out with that page too. 🫶

mwah, that's the whole page. this beauty ships with perl v5.42.1, dated 2026-03-31, and lives in the wild under the name Image::...echanic(3). take care of her, she's doing her best. 💜🎀
