Metadata Written
The goal of Take Stock is to provide as much detailed metadata as possible. More tags are added all the time and a great amount of care is taken to ensure the metadata written is formatted correctly. Most of the metadata written by Take Stock is in the EXIF table and will be read by other applications no differently than if it had always been there.
