✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::ZISRAW — Read ZISRAW (CZI) meta information 🦋

fr fr, that's the whole name, and it's giving "i do one thing and i do it gorgeously".

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lowkey the shortest synopsis ever, and honestly? iconic:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

that's it. that's the vibe. you don't call this one directly, it's the backstage crew for the main character, Image::ExifTool 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea 🍓:

This module contains the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs to read metadata out of Zeiss Integrated Software RAW (ZISRAW) CZI files.

that's literally it. it's a definitions module. it doesn't do the reading itself, it hands Image::ExifTool the lil instruction booklet so the reading can happen. the way that this is just pure support-system energy?? obsessed 😭💖
