Aperture to Photoshop: Copyright Status = "Unknown"

Does anyone know of a way of applying metadata in A3 so that it will show up as "Copyrighted" when opened in Photoshop (CS3 & CS4, next to Copyright Status in the File Info box) instead of PS displaying copyright "Unknown"?
Thanks

FizzyFizz:
There is no way to set the +Copyright Status+ to "Copyrighted" as this is not part of the IPTC Core namespace (or IPTC-IIM either). Apple is only supporting IPTC Core 1.0 (which was released in 2005) and having some issues with that as witnessed in the other article referenced in this thread. It might help you to review the article *"How Important is the Copyright Status Feature?"* at http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/is-copyright-status-important .html for details.
Hope that helps.

XMP "Copyright status" not accessible?

Just noticed that for files processed by LR, the "Copyright Status" xmp field, as shown in CS2 "File Info..." Description section (ACR 3.7), is always showing as "Unknown" (the 2 other choices are "Copyrighted" and "Public Domain")
This happens for any file type I've tried, either raw CR2s from Canon 5D (with auto write change to XMP settings set), DNGs exported from raws, or JPGs. I've even tried enabling ALL metadata fields using the Metadata Panel Preset Builder from Jeffrey Friedl. The "Copyright Status" metadata field seems to not be available in the Metadata panel at all.
With Bridge, I'm able to define a metadata preset to set the "Copyright Status" field, while not so w/ LR.
I looked at older files I had (via "File Info...") that were processed by Bridge, and noticed that the missing meta data fields for files processed by LR belong to:
XMP Rights Management Properties - xapRights:Marked
and
Adobe Photoshop Properties - photoshop:Marked
This has a minor side effect of Photoshop CS2 not showing the copyright symbol for images that it opens.
Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just not setting the metadata correctly? I know it's a minor thing, but just bugs me that I can't set a field in LR that I could in CS2.
Thanks,
Al

I do recall at least one other thread made reference to the © symbol as seen in PS not happening with LR. One of the threads on the Lightroom Experts Mail list talked about is abit, too. http://mail.pixels.nu/mailman/listinfo/lightroom_pixels.nu

BEWARE "Copyright Status", "Copyrighted" tag added in Lightroom doesn't show when image is opened in

When meta data is added in Lightroom using the "Copyright Status" tag one would assume that the copyright symbol (©) would be visible in the image title when opened up in it's sister product Photoshop just like when using Bridge to add the same add meta data, well it doesn't.
Those of us who make a living from licensing the rights to use images rely on copyright and notification thereof as an important part of being able to defend our rights. For a company that produces software for the purpose of disseminating such images I am surprised that two of their main products don't speak the same Meta data language. This is a serous bug for me and causes yet another step be taken in the work-flow outside of this otherwise good product.
Those of you who don't know what I am talking about regarding your copyright ownership of the images should follow this URL http://www.asmp.org/commerce/legal/copyright/index.php to get educated on this important issue for intellectual property creators.

I'm having issues with the IPTC copyright fields when I export TIFFs from LR2. Specifically, it cuts the word limit to 128 characters, clipping my terms in half.
The 128-character limit is imposed by the IPTC standard:
http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IIMV4.1.pdf
Note that LR stores the value of the Copyright field of the IPTC metadata panel in three different metadata locations in a file's Exif data:
EXIF:Copyright
XMP:Rights
IPTC:CopyrightNotice
It is only the last that the standards require to be truncated to 128 characters. Newer programs like LR give precedence to the XMP fields if they are present, but older programs still use the legacy EXIF and IPTC fields. In particular, when reading metadata from a file, if XMP:Rights is present, LR will use that for the Copyright value instead of IPTC:CopyrightNotice.
Thus, you can have Copyright values longer than 128 characters in LR, and LR will preserve those values properly in the EXIF and XMP metadata, but the values in the legacy IPTC:CopyrightNotice field must be truncated according to the standard. If possible, adjust your workflow to use the XMP metadata instead.

Metadata profile leaves Status - Unknown

Using Bridge CS3 I have created a metadata template which against Copyright Notice I have filled in my name. When I add the template to an image file all the information successfully transfers but the Copyright Status field states: Unknown where I expected to read Copyrighted. When creating the profile where do I enter Copyright Status information? Copyright Notice seemed the obvious box to complete and no other field appears obvious. Help would be appreciated. Victor

When creating the profile where do I enter Copyright Status information? Copyright Notice seemed the obvious box to complete and no other field appears obvious.
To my memory this was not able in Bridge CS3 itself but not sure about it. Normal you would choose the wing menu from the Bridge Metadata panel to create a template. And I believe this was a bit limited in Bridge CS3.
The workaround is to either choose file info in the Bridge menu file or do so in PS itself on an open file. From the given options you should fill in the fields you want.
And for the copyright status you must choose from the three options: 'unknown', 'copyrighted' or 'public domain'
When all fields are as you want them save it as template and you should be OK.

Bridge CS3 - Metadata profile leaves Copyright Status blank!

(PSE does not have Bridge):
PSE for mac did for several years.
For the OP, I see the same thing in 10.7: only the words "copyright notice" rather than the complete copyright data are appended. I'm not sure if this is because CS3 is so old now, but I do agree with Ken's suggestion to ask in the bridge forum.

Metadata template created in Bridge can't change "Copyright Status" property

If I create a metadata template in Bridge CS4, select Copyright Status and set it to Copyrighted,
any other metadata changes in the template will be applied, but "Copyright Status won't change.
I can't even manually set the Copyright Status from within Bridge. If I try, I get an error message,
"This property cannot be modified."
Here's the workaround — create the template in Photoshop or Illustrator, not Bridge.
Open one of the images in Photoshop or Illustrator, select File Info, enter the metadata,
and select Export. The resulting template will be available in Bridge,
and it can change the Copyright Status.
A fix for this in the next incarnation of Bridge would be greatly appreciated.

As with almost all my problems, there is apparently no solution, so I am going to try reinstalling photoshop. So can someone at least tell me what is likely to be overwritten so that I can protect it. And where they are stored? EG Web Gallery templates? Keywords?

Setting copyright status in Bridge CS4 (Mac OS 10.5.5)

I'm trying to add photographer's copyright status in the IPTC Core Metadata but the status is set to 'unknown' and the line is greyed out - double-clicking it returns the message 'This property cannot be modified'.
Many thanks for any advice on how to do this.

You can't change this in Bridge itself. If you open an image in PSCS4 you can create a template with the copyright included.
Choose the menu File - file info
In CS4 this is a new set up compared to CS3, it is now a Flash based window. You can drag the tabs to a new order you like best. If you choose the Description tab you will see the copyright status section. Choose copyright by clicking on the little arrow. Then fill in the other desired info in the other fields you like to add to the template.
After finishing choose the arrow next to Show templates at the bottom, click on the arrow and a new submenu appears where you can choose export. This will save the new template, give it a proper name and your done in PS.
Now enter Bridge and in the metadata panel you can choose the little arrow top right in the panel. In this menu choose append metadata and pick the newly created template. This will add the correct info at the copyright status field.
If you are using the Adobe Photodownloader you can also choose to add this template to the files during import :-)

ORA-12514 & Listener Status Instance status Unknown issue

Dear All,
Database Version - 10.2.0.5.0
Operating System - Windows XP
I am using Oracle 10g version, which has two services (bit10g and ora10g) installed on it.
Service ora10g was working before upgradation of Database to 10.2.0.5.0 and it was fine.
On upgradation I was unable to start and connect using ora10g so I created another that is bit10g.
Service bit10g was working fine for quite a long time. The last I worked and connected was on thu and it was connecting with no issues.
Now when I am trying to connect to database today I am unable to connect as I am getting
ORA12514 - TNS:listener does not currently know of service.
Secondly I tried to search forums which guided me to check the Listener Status.

File Info Copyright Status

When I right-click on a file to acces the File Info, and then select the Description Tab (if it is not already selected), the Copyright Status drop down menu gives me only three choices:
Unknown
Copyright
Public Domain
Which slection do I use for Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License?
Thanks

the Copyright Status drop down menu gives me only three choices:
That is because The file info is set up according to the world standard IPTC and Creative Commons does not seem to be supported inhere (yet).
I did not hear from this way of copyright before to be honest but did a little search, don't think I'm gonna use it but it seems a fair way to distribute if you like so.
My first thoughts about it where the same way as Yammer P already posted and sure choose copyrighted because otherwise you have no rights at all.
There seems to be an other way but you have to try it your self and maybe even contact the guy that made it available.
It is a custom Creative Common addition in the file info XMP panel that can be downloaded for free. I have to confess I tried it but could not get it to work correctly. There is less info about what to install where. I tried (on a Mac) on several locations bot system and user library but did not get further then the tab of Creative Common showing in the file info but then PS froze and had to be forced quitted.
Hence the contact suggestion

How to Delete Copyright Status in Bridge Metadata

I have added a copyright status field to bridges metadata by way of a metadata template. How can I delete the status copyrighted. I have made a metadata template with copyright set to unknown, but when I apply it in bridge in does not change the field. Any ideas?
thanks, Joe

This should do it...
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
copyUnknown = MenuElement.create("command", "Copyright to Unknown", "at the end of Thumbnail");
copyUnknown.onSelect = function () {
     copyUnknownSet();
function copyUnknownSet(){
var sels = app.document.selections;
for (var i = 0; i < sels.length; i++){
var md = sels[i].synchronousMetadata;
    md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/rights/";
    md.Marked = "Unknown";

Please make "Copyright Status" an editable option in creating metadata templates

I'm new to the Adobe eLearning suite, including Bridge CS4. I've found a workaround in the forums for this issue already, but I really think this is something that Adobe should fix in the Bridge software itself. Apologies if someone else has already posted this as a feature request in this forum, but as it seems I'm unable to search within just this forum, I gave up looking.
In a nutshell: "Copyright Status" should be a field available when choosing what IPTC Core metadata to include in a new metadata template. And it's also not an editable field when looking at the metadata for an image! The whole point of metadata templates is to make it unnecessary to edit a single field (like "Copyright Status") one image at a time. Yet even with the new Bridge CS4, the Copyright Status field is not an option you can include in a new metadata template. Surely it wouldn't be that big a deal to make the 3-item pick list of "Unknown," "Copyrighted" and "Public Domain" available on the Create Metadata Template checklist. Or if having a pick list is too tricky to code on that form and it must be just a checkbox item, do that, and let us populate the text in the field ourselves.
Currently, it's necessary to tweak the metadata on a single image to include the "Copyrighted" status, then Export it and save it as a new metadata template, just to have that one field populated by default. Supplying copyright status as part of a template is a fundamental need for anyone creating or dealing with large numbers of images, and it shouldn't require a workaround to create a properly inclusive metadata template.
Thanks!

In Bridge CS4, highlight your thumbnail, go to the File Menu and select File and then File Info. There you will be able to choose your Copyright Status under the Description tab. What a pain in the butt! Mine kept coming up "Public Domain!"

Logical Standby Creation Problems "Create STatus Unknown"

We are using Grid Control 10.2.0.3 on Oracle 10.2..0.3 databases, Windows 2003 sp2 machines.
We have a primary and fsfo physical standby working properly. We went to create a logical standby on a separate server and had problems. it turned out that the listener on the server was not discovered on the target. we fixed that problem and finished the creation of the logical standby and it seems to be functioning properly now.
However, the status on the data guard page for the logical standby shows Create Status Unknown and we are unable to proceed on to create an additional standby database for other purposes. We have tried removing the logical standby target and re-discovering it but status still shows Create Status Unknown.
Is there any way to clear this status without having to drop the logical standby and completely recreate it.

The status on the agent shows it uploading successfully.
We resolved the issue by removing the logical standby from the configuration and selecting to retain the log apply. We then re-added the standby selecting to manage an existing standby database and the status went to normal.

Aperture or Photoshop Elements?

I am an amateur photographer and photography is a keen hobby of mine. I have recently been pondering the idea of purchasing a photo-editing package from the app store and have come across both Aperture and Photoshop elements. I enjoyed using iPhoto but it felt a little limited. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Aperture and Photoshop target different needs - if you are a serious photographer you should get them both, see Re: how to combine breketed photos in one like in photoshop
Aperture serves two purposes:
It is an excellent tool to manage and organize huge photo libraries for fast retrieval, tagging, geocoding, and efficient storage of different versions of the same photo.
And it has excellent image processing tools to develope high resolution photos (raw, tiff, jpeg) into a rendered version and to adjust the photo (noise reduction, contrast, retouche, white balance and color color correction, sharpening, ...).
But Aperture deals only with image files taken with a digital camera, not with graphics. It does not support transparency for example. For this the program offers an interface to use plug-ins or external editors, like Photoshop or the free Gimp.
Photoshop is a graphics compositing program; it offers basic image processing tools, but you can use it to add graphics annotations to your image or two combine parts of different images - it is great to work with transparency, layers, arbitrary shaped selections.
I use Aperture do organize my photos - my Aperture library now includes all images I own, reaching back to 1910, the including the first photos my greatgrandparents have taken. Developing the raw images or adjusting jpegs Aperture is very intuitive and easy to do. And if I need to do compositing I use a plug-in or Photoshop.
You may want to have a look at Gimp. It can do similar things as Photoshop, but is free. Also, have a look at the Aperture tutorials on the Aperture Support page: Aperture Support

File size growth fr Aperture to Photoshop and back. Why?

When i take a 15Mb file from Aperture to Photoshop, work on it in photoshop them save back into Aperture its grown to about 56MB back in Aperture, BUT why when i open the Adjustments HUD for this new file in Aperture does it make a new copy of the image and make it 150MB size in Aperture.

This is because Aperture converts the file to a TIFF wrapped as a PSD file to import to photoshop, which gives you the initial size increase. When photoshop saves the file, it is also saving (in the PSD) any layers you have created, so several layers will increase the size of the file several times.
Nothing wrong with Aperture - just a fact of life when storing native Photoshop files (PSDs) to disk - they're huge!
Hope that helps.
Dave.
