When I process a PNG file created by Photoshop, in which I've embedded keywords using Adobe Bridge, the keyword metadata is not found.
I used ExifTool to confirm the metadata is, in fact, in the file. It's in a tag that ExifTool calls "Subject".
When I process the file with ImageSharp and extract the XmpProfile from the metadata it reads (via a call to GetDocument(), which returns the raw XML for the metadata), the keywords are included in a node labeled Subject:

Is there a way to use MetadataExtractor to access this information? I'm guessing the comparable raw XML is available within the library, but not exposed publicly.
