Photoshop Image Resources is a metadata format native to PSD files, but which is also sometimes used in TIFF, JPEG, and other image formats.

Format
Photoshop Image Resources consists of a sequence of blocks, each with a numeric Resource ID indicating the type of data stored in the block. Each block also contains a name, but the name is often left empty.
Each block begins with ASCII characters "8BIM", a signature which appears in several Photoshop formats.
Not all Resource IDs are publicly documented.
Apparently Photoshop data (at least in Mac formats) also makes use of the ANPA-1312 format, a news-media industry markup format, for metadata storage.
