i'm building a gallery that needs to be easy to use ie no repetition of work
i'm very inexperienced at coding and i need someone to tell me if what i plan is possible
when i upload an image file the php then grabs the meta tags (exif, tiff and XMP) and filename and puts it in a table on my database, it would also create a thumbnail for display on the site from a CMYK eps or tiff file.
if not can i build a search that will query the tags on the image files?
i'm not looking for code at the moment as i want to use this project to learn, i just need some direction
cheers
kev
which was is best and possible

Okay, I understand what you're going for with this. And it should all be possible. Grabbing the meta data of an image file is really really simple. The only issue you have to worry about there is that someone might write a file with forged meta data. So there's a bit of security vulnerability there.
Be sure to check out imagemagick for all the image manipulation stuff. Failing that, GD probably works too.
