FlashPix Tags

The FlashPix file format, introduced in 1996, was developed by Kodak, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. Internally the FPX file structure mimics that of an old DOS disk with fixed-sized "sectors" (usually 512 bytes) and a "file allocation table" (FAT). No wonder this image format never became popular. However, some of the structures used in FlashPix streams are part of the EXIF specification, and are still being used in the APP2 FPXR segment of JPEG images by some digital cameras from manufacturers such as FujiFilm, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak and Sanyo.

ExifTool extracts FlashPix information from both FPX images and the APP2 FPXR segment of JPEG images. As well, FlashPix information is extracted from DOC, PPT, XLS (Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel) documents, VSD (Microsoft Visio) drawings, and FLA (Macromedia/Adobe Flash project) files since these are based on the same file format as FlashPix (the Windows Compound Binary File format). See http://graphcomp.com/info/specs/livepicture/fpx.pdf for the FlashPix specification.
