Reading Image Properties without loading as Image

I'm trying to find a way to quickly read image headers (specifically jpgs at
the moment) with out loading the whole image as an System.Imaging.Image.
Anybody point me in the right direction or am I going to need to write a
header parser from scratch?

I'm also interested in this, and additionally whether one can read out the
contents of TIFF file IFDs without reading in image data.

Hi,

Thanks, I'll have a look at it. I think we're considering moving away from
using the GDI+ stuff at all because of its limitations (CMYK, greyscale,
16-bit support etc.). I'm not generally that impressed by its lack of
support for handling image files; hopefully they plan to address it in the
future.

Thanks again,

Steve
