I use Adobe Lightroom for my photography workflow, including captioning my images. I am in the process of building my own cataloging system because of the limitations of the SQLite database.

In Lightroom, I can save the metadata to the image file. Using the ImageEn IPTC demo, when I select a file with the saved meta data, nothing shows up. However, if I export the file from Lightroom with metadata embedded, the IPTC does show up in the EmageEn IPTC demo.

I *guess* this is because your IPTC extractor is working solely with the IPTC section in the jpg file, and ignorning the XML section.

Do you have any examples or procedures/functions for extracting and/or parsing the XML section of the jpg file?

ImageEn extracts IPTC from APP13 jpeg marker, and it should be not XML.
Anyway there is another metadata that ImageEn can get from a jpeg, the XMP. It is located in APP1, and it is XML. ImageEn load it in ImageEnView.IO.Params.XMP_Info. At the moment it is not parsed.
