JPG comment caption viewer Ducky Adobe

[ferdilouw]

I have a number of jpg files with text comments/captions and keywords in a format that is not displayed by iView.
It is stored under the jpg marker FF EC 01 and it contains the text in unicode (I think) and has the following strings: "Ducky" and "Adobe" in normal text.
The marker FFEC is reserved by jpg for "Application-specific" data.
Who is using FFEC?
Is it Adobe's Photoshop?
Is there a plugin to display this text in iView?

It is not EXIF or IPTC info - I've checked.
An example is attached.

I saw on anther site about the FFEC marker in JPEG (or is it JFIF?):

Photoshop uses the JPEG APP12 "Ducky" segment to store some information in "Save for Web" images.

so it seems these files were created by Photoshop's "Save for Web" option.
ExifTool seems to be able to understand this and many more formats.

Is there a plugin to display this info in IrfanView 4.00?

Nice picture from above. Problably it's additional info enclosed by camera options. Your photo is problably edited with Photoshop and is copyrighted by SambaPhoto. I couldn't find any important info in your photo apart from the data that it is the Cristo Redentor Statue and that it shows ?JFIF?, which is the same as JPEG. The name ?Ducky? could mean anything (maybe the maker).

The marker FFEC is reserved by jpg for "Application-specific" data.

I coudn't sift out what you mean by FFEC. Which program shows this JPG marker?
