Getting File Properties

Post by kpassaur » Fri Sep 26, 2008 1:17 pm

Does any one know of a way to get file properties from a tif image. I am looking to get the page size and resolution? These are displayed when you right click on the file and select file properties, so I was thinking there must be some DLL on the machine that could be accessed with LibFunc that could retireve them.
