Description

Sigma's X3F files appear to contain Exif data, yet do not start with a regular TIFF preamble.

Also known as the Foveon X3 format or "FOVb".

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the X3F format specification and existing implementations (e.g., rolkar/x3f). Implement a new metadata reader class for the X3F format that can parse Exif data from the X3F file structure.
