+ <title>What is the PHP Exif Library?</title>
+
+ <para>The PHP Exif Library (called PEL for short) is a library
+ written in {@link http://www.php.net/ PHP} which will allow you to
+ manipulate {@link http://www.exif.org/ Exif} data. This is the
+ data that digital cameras place in their images, such as the date
+ and time, shutter speed, ISO value and so on.</para>
+
+ <para>PEL makes it easy to parse Exif data stored in JPEG and TIFF
+ images. Once an image has been loaded, the data can be changed at
+ will by manipulating the objects representing the data. The
+ objects can be saved again to produce a valid image.</para>
