• ATXApplication - Name of application creating the file.
• ATXSourceName - Name of source such as camera, scanner etc...
• ATXGamma - If value doesn't equal 1 then that means the data must be gamma corrected. Primarily intended for 128bit images but can be used for any ATXBitDepth.
• ATXLightTemperature - Determines the Temperature of light source.
• ATXExposure - Indicates the Exposure Level for image taken.
• ATXFStop - Indicates the Exposure Level for image taken.
• ATXICC - ICC profile name.
• ATXRedEnergyLevel - This is used with scientific images to identify what energy level this channel represents.
• ATXGreenEnergyLevel - This is used with scientific images to identify what energy level this channel represents.
• ATXBlueEnergyLevel - This is used with scientific images to identify what energy level this channel represents.
• ATXCompression - Method used to compress data. 
  • 0 = no compression
  • 1 = undecided
