Explanation
The IKJpegExifInfo function retrieves information about the primary image and thumbnail image from an Exif (JPEG) file.
If successful, the retrieved values are set into the ExifInfo member variables. Because the thumbnail image handle is set into ThumbImageInfo.ThumbImageHandle, please be sure to free it from the memory using the IKFreeMemory function. For details about the EXIF_INFO structure, please refer to the explanation of the EXIF_INFO member variables in the Ik10File.dll, Ik10FileA.dll, Ik10File64.dll, Ik10File64A.dll section.
To load the primary image of an Exif(JPEG) file please use the IKFileLoad or IKJpegFileLoad function.
