I am trying to find the structure of EXIF in regard to photos.
Can anyone provide a suitable routine of show how the metadata in the photo can be decoded?

Hi,
Exif-data are just XML-data that's included in the picture file. You can just read from the file starting at the first XML tag until the last and parse the data. There is an EXIF stack wandering around somewhere, just search for it. You can also use the open-source ExifTools command line utility to read from and write to the EXIF section of a picture file.
Kind regards,
Mark
