This is in regards to Adobe's Image Resource Blocks(IRB), that they store in TIFF, PSD, JPEG Formats. It's also called "8BIM", This standard was released with Adobe's Photoshop 3 (November 1994).
IRB contains information on color profiles and clipping paths(what i am interested in).
The only piece of documentation i can find on the internet is this 4 page document provided by Adobe in 1990.
I have been searching imagemagick source code to find that the IRB ID's for clipping paths are from 2000 to 2998, to thats a usable 998 clipping paths.
So I managed to get a IRB Byte Array of each resource block from JPEG and a TIFF file, specified in the four page document. I rolled my own and tested out Graphics Mill to see if managed to get the same information.
I am not sure how to convert the clipping path byte array into anything usable since I don't even know the format that adobe photoshop uses. The idea was to map the clipping path to a c# GDI+ Graphics Path.
I think that it's kind of pathetic that adobe has been around for so many years being the industry leader in graphic design, but yet they can't even provide necessary documentation.
Can anybody suggest any documentation that i could use?
