Read tiff tags in Python

Question

I am trying to read the tags of a tiff file in Python. The file is RGB with uint16 values per channel. I am currently using tifffile:

import tifffile

img = tifffile.imread('file.tif')

However, img is a numpy array, which only has pixel values. How can I read, for instance, the x_resolution of the image?

Answer 1

I found an alternative:

import tifffile
with tifffile.TiffFile('file.tif') as tif:
    tif_tags = {}
    for tag in tif.pages[0].tags.values():
        name, value = tag.name, tag.value
        tif_tags[name] = value
    image = tif.pages[0].asarray()
