JPEG AdobeCM Tags

The "Adobe_CM" APP13 segment presumably contains color management information, but the meaning of the data is currently unknown. If anyone has an idea about what this means, please let me know.

JPEG Adobe Tags

The "Adobe" APP14 segment stores image encoding information for DCT filters. This segment may be copied or deleted as a block using the Extra "Adobe" tag, but note that it is not deleted by default when deleting all metadata because it may affect the appearance of the image.
