It extracts a wide range of information including camera details, exposure settings, GPS coordinates, dates, copyright information, and more. It supports images that contain metadata in their EXIF data (JPEG, TIFF) as well as PNG metadata. .PARAMETER ImagePath The full path to the image file to analyze. The file must be a valid image format that supports metadata (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, etc.). .OUTPUTS System.Collections.Hashtable Returns a hashtable containing all available metadata categories including: - Basic (dimensions, format, etc.) - Camera (make, model, etc.) - Exposure (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc.) - GPS (latitude, longitude, etc.) - DateTime (when taken, modified, etc.) - Author (artist, copyright, etc.) - Additional (software, comments, etc.) .EXAMPLE Get-ImageMetadata -ImagePath "C:\Photos\vacation.jpg" .EXAMPLE "C:\Photos\vacation.jpg" | Get-ImageMetadata #> function Get-ImageMetadata { [CmdletBinding()] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseSingularNouns', '')] [OutputType([GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata])] param ( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Path to the image file to analyze' )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$ImagePath ######################################################################## ) begin { [GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata] $metadata = [GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata]::new(); #
