* Class representing Exif data.
* Exif data resides as {@link PelJpegContent data} and consists of a
* header followed by a number of {@link PelJpegIfd IFDs}.
* The interesting method in this class is {@link getTiff()} which
* will return the {@link PelTiff} object which really holds the data
* which one normally think of when talking about Exif data. This is
* because Exif data is stored as an extension of the TIFF file
* @author Martin Geisler <mgeisler@users.sourceforge.net>
* The Exif data must start with these six bytes to be considered
* The PelTiff object contained within.
* Construct a new Exif object.
* The new object will be empty --- use the {@link load()} method to
* load Exif data from a {@link PelDataWindow} object, or use the
* {@link setTiff()} to change the {@link PelTiff} object, which is
* the true holder of the Exif {@link PelEntry entries}.
* Load and parse Exif data.
* This will populate the object with Exif data, contained as a
* {@link PelTiff} object. This TIFF object can be accessed with
* the {@link getTiff()} method.

/* The rest of the data is TIFF data. */
* Change the TIFF information.
* Exif data is really stored as TIFF data, and this method can be
* used to change this data from one {@link PelTiff} object to
* @param PelTiff the new TIFF object.
* Get the underlying TIFF object.
* The actual Exif data is stored in a {@link PelTiff} object, and
* this method provides access to it.
* @return PelTiff the TIFF object with the Exif data.
* Produce bytes for the Exif data.
* @return string bytes representing this object.
