Get a String Property Value from XMP

See more XMP Examples

Demonstrates how to open a JPG or TIF image file, access the XMP metadata, and fetch the value of a string property, such as the Location. C++

    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Sample JPG's with XMP metadata may be found at:
