Description
With the MASSIVE generative AI movement, automatic1111 has become a staple tool for image generation. This tool creates images that include lots of data regarding the configuration of any image in the 'tEXT' chunk of an image's metadata. It does not appear that sharp has a way to read or write to this section of the images data.
