Properties can be modified on TIFF files only.
If the current image is a local or redirected TIFF file, or a 1.x file (not a document) the user can modify the Title, Subject, Author, Comments, and Keywords properties by typing new information into the corresponding fields.
If the current image is a 1.x document, only the Keywords property can be set.
When any of these property values are changed, the FilePropertiesClose event is fired, which enables the application to save the original image.
The modified property values are not saved to disk until the OK button in the dialog box is clicked.
Changes to the Image property update the property values displayed in the dialog box.
