β¨ NAME β¨
Image::ExifTool::Sigma β the Sigma/Foveon EXIF maker notes tags situation π
like, that's literally her whole job. Sigma and Foveon maker notes? she knows them. she's the girl with the notes. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.
and that's it!! that's the whole synopsis!! you don't call her, she shows up when she's needed. main character energy, honestly. she does not require a formal introduction, she requires a reason β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
This module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to interpret Sigma and Foveon maker notes in EXIF information.
so basically: Image::ExifTool is out here reading people's photos, and when it bumps into the weird little maker-note corner where Sigma and Foveon keep their secrets, it needs a key. this module is the key. π definitions only, no drama, no cap.
if you're not Image::ExifTool and you're not required, you have literally no business here. respect the boundaries babe π
