Image::...SigmaRaw(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Image::ExifTool::SigmaRaw — bestie, this one reads Sigma and Foveon RAW (X3F) meta information ✨

(it's a Perl module, it lives in the Image::ExifTool family, manual page name is Image::...SigmaRaw(3) if u were wondering 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the tea: you do not load this one yourself. like, at all. it just shows up when it's needed.

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

not me being a whole module that only appears when summoned 💅 it's giving main character with a very specific entrance.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this module holds all the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs in order to read Sigma and Foveon X3F images 👑

that's it. that's the job. it's the little dictionary of what-all the tags mean, so ExifTool can actually make sense of ur X3F files instead of just staring at them like 😭
