For the sake of other mailing list subscribers and archive users: the above quote is incorrect information.
No it isn't. Here's proof. Take the JPEG image at:
http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/temp/bugs054.jpg
Within that image, let's take the CameraMake EXIF tag (010F.H). It's located at absolute offset 0022.H. Seven bytes later at offset 002A.H is the offset value 0116.H. If you skip ahead to that offset treating it as absolute, you do *not* find the metadata for the camera make. The actual data is 12 bytes later at absolute offset 0122.H where it says "NIKON". The discrepancy is 12 bytes.
Inside a JPEG file, the EXIF metadata is inside the APP1 segment. This segment starts at absolute offset 0002.H where you find the bytes FF E1. Following that is the EXIF header for 10 bytes: those 10 plus the APP1 segment length is 12 bytes which exactly matches the discrepancy.
Therefore, all EXIF metadata offsets for tag values larger than 4 bytes are *relative* to the start of the EXIF metadata.
