CS3 stripping IPTC keywords

First time listing something in a forum. We are stumped. We have a machine setup with action steps using photoshop cs3 on windows. Randomly when sending photos through cs3 it is stripping out VITAL iptc keyword information.
To test and by pass the steps i simply opened photo in CS3 and get file info on file. All my IPTC keywords are missing. I then take the same photo on a machine with cs2 and/or cs and the IPTC header heyword field info is there.
So it seems that something has changed in photoshop cs 3?
Can any one help? I have many example photos that i can email to someone if they maybe able to help us.

I use Breeze Systems' BreezeBrowser Pro and Downloader Pro to transfer my photos to hard disk and fill the IPTC fields with the shoot information. When I load these files into Photoshop CS3, I find that the "Location" and ISO Country Code fields are blank, even though they still show the shooting location and country (GBR) when I view the IPTC info in BreezeBrowser.
It also trims everthing past 32 characters in the 'Credit' field.
Why does Photoshop lose those values?

Add IPTC Keywords using Photoshop CS3 and Applescript

Hello I'm looking for the applescript command to set IPTC keywords using Photoshop CS3.
thanks for your help

The Man Page gives me this info on the read/write/create capabilities:
EXIFTOOL(1)           User Contributed Perl Documentation          EXIFTOOL(1)
NAME
       exiftool - Read and write meta information in files
SYNOPSIS
       exiftool [OPTIONS] [-TAG...] [--TAG...] FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-<]=[VALUE]... FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -tagsFromFile SRCFILE [-SRCTAG[>DSTTAG]...] FILE...
       exiftool [ -ver | -list[w|f|wf|g[NUM]|d|x] ]
       For specific examples, see the EXAMPLES sections below.
DESCRIPTION
       A command-line interface to Image::ExifTool, used for reading and writ-
       ing meta information in image, audio and video files. FILE is a source
       file name, directory name, or "-" for the standard input. Information
       is read from the source file and output in readable form to the console
       (or written to an output text file with the -w option).
       To write or copy information, new values are specified with the
       -TAG=[VALUE] syntax or the -tagsFromFile or -geotag options. This
       causes FILE to be rewritten, and by default the original file is pre-
       served with "_original" appended to the file name. (Be sure to verify
       that the new file is OK before erasing the original.) Once in write
       mode, exiftool will ignore any read-specific options.
       Below is a list of file types and meta information formats currently
       supported by ExifTool (r = read, w = write, c = create):

Bridge CS3 Stripping Clipping Path Names

Whenever editing the metadata in a .psd file, whether it be through a script or manually typing it in, Bridge CS3 strips the file's clipping path names. Howeer, running the same script in Bridge CS2 and performing the manual metadata changes leaves the path names intact. Does anyone know why the path names are being removed and how to prevent it? Thanks.
The metadata fields that I wish to edit are: Title, Instructions, Headline, City, State, Date, and Country.

Wow, it's good to know that someone else had the same problem too.
I noticed this very same problem with my PSD files today. My clipping paths were all named until I decided to add a keyword to the file using Bridge CS3. When I opened the file, I noticed that all my clipping path names were gone!
At first I didn't realize that it was Bridge CS3 that altered the clipping path names (I thought I accidentally hit a short cut I wasn't supposed to)... but after opening another file (with even MORE clipping path names), I realized that it was probably Bridge CS3 that was problem. I tested the issue a couple more times with new files, and the same thing happened.
Now, this is a question for David Franzen, have you guys found the issue and fixed it? Also, do you have any answers on preventing this (other than not using the metadata feature in CS3 for my PSD files)?
I guess I won't be using Bridge CS3 in the way I wanted to until this is resolved.
If this information helps at all, I'm currently using an Intel-based MacPro and running CS3.3.

Importing IPTC keywords into iPhoto

I have >10,000 photos from my research project with imbedded metadata including four keywords. These are in the IPTC field separated by commas.
keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3, keyword_4
When I import these into iPhoto I get a single keyword
keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3, keyword_4
If I click to edit this keyword, it immediately is broken into four separate keywords plus the original one.
keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3, keyword_4
keyword_1
keyword_2
keyword_3
keyword_4
The four individual keywords are what I want but I have to click on the keyword of each photo to achieve this. Extremely time consuming.
Does anyone know if iPhoto can be made to import each keyword individually or a faster way to make iPhoto convert these to the correct format? I do have the ability to edit the IPTC data via terminal scripts so I could modify the original IPTC data if I only knew what iPhoto needs to import properly.
I tried using semicolons to separate the keywords.
i.e. keyword_1; keyword_2; keyword_3; keyword_4
This failed as it just gave me a single keyword that no longer was automatically edited upon clicking.

Hi Phil,
I originally started this on your ExifTool forum. A chap there graciously provided, and helped to refine, a script using ExifTool which has me 95% of the way to my goal.
I'm not a programmer so my understanding of the script is incomplete. It first extracts the data from a csv file and then uses ExifTool to write that data to the jpg files. I copied what I believe to be the relevant sections hoping that maybe someone here could spot the error.
PHYLUM_CSV=`grep ${BASEIMAGE} "${RUBRICFILE}" | cut -d , -f 9`
CLASS_CSV=`grep ${BASEIMAGE} "${RUBRICFILE}" | cut -d , -f 10`
ORDER_CSV=`grep ${BASEIMAGE} "${RUBRICFILE}" | cut -d , -f 11`
FAMILY_CSV=`grep ${BASEIMAGE} "${RUBRICFILE}" | cut -d , -f 12`
KEYWORDS_CSV="1_PHYLUM_${PHYLUM_CSV}, 2_CLASS_${CLASS_CSV}, 3_ORDER_${ORDER_CSV}, 4_FAMILY_${FAMILY_CSV}, 5_GENUS_${GENUS_CSV}, 6_SPECIES_${SPECIES_CSV}"

KEYWORDS_F=`exiftool -s -s -s -caption-abstract "${FILESPEC}"`

exiftool -m -P -overwrite_original_in_place \
-keywords="${KEYWORDS_CSV}" \
-subject="${KEYWORDS_CSV}" \
"${FILESPEC}"
Here is part of the ExifTool output for one of the files processed with the script. I edited out parts which I thought irrelevant.

The keywords are written into both the IPTC:Keywords and XMP:Subject fields of the metadata. I'm not sure why they are written to both or which field iPhoto imports keywords from.
I added the 1_PHYLUM_, etc tags so that the keywords would sort in the correct order in iPhoto.
Strangely enough, the keywords are imported into Picasa as individual keywords but sort in reverse order.
I'm studying your exiftool faq now.
Thanks,

Bridge CS3: location of keyword index ???

I know that Bridge stores the actual keyword(s) with the image files but where is the overall "index" located on my hard drive?
The index is the structure that gives the instant access through the images.
Thanks

That doesn't sound right to me.
My path wasn't quite correct it should have been
C:\Documents and Settings\User name\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS3
and the keywords are stored in
Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml
The cache files contain thumbnail data and these have to be rebuilt if image files are moved but the keywords stay with the image and are referenced by Bridge wherever the file is.
That is my interpretation and I fully agree that the workings of Bridge are not properly documented by Adobe. But don't expect things to improve: the rushed time-scales imposed by the marketeers mean that not only are new releases buggy, but the documentation is inadequate or non-existent. People that want to understand the program have to spend hours sifting through the Knowledge Base (that's a misnomer!) and assorted blogs to find out what's going on.
Welcome to the wonderful new world of user friendly Adobe.

Embedding iPhoto keywords into files as IPTC keywords?

The subject pretty much says it all. Does anyone know of an application or script that will run through an iPhoto Library and for each image that has keywords assigned in iPhoto, will embed those keywords in the IPTC keywords field?
Thanks,
-s-

Ah, with the help of your instructions, I was indeed able to make it work, as advertised. Thanks for that!
Unfortunately, it doesn't totally solve my problem, because > 99% of my photos are shot in RAW (Nikon's NEF.) Looking at the spotlight data, it seems that iPhoto associates the the keywords data with the JPG it generates from the NEF file, but not with the actual RAW file in the "Originals" sub-folder.
I know that is possible to add IPTC data directly to RAW files (Photoshop won't do it, but Photo Mechanic, and a few other programs will), though I guess its a "philosophical" argument as to whether it is correct to do so or not.
There is no reason (except perhaps a bug) that iPhoto couldn't add the "kMDItemKeywords" spotlight property to the original NEFs as well as the generated JPEGs.
Anyway, thanks for your help, and I suspect that I am going to have to "roll my own" solution for doing this with RAW files.

Reading in data from IPTC keywords from a CSV and writing those keywords to TIFF images

Hi All,
I have a client that I'm working with that has a specific request for a script, or possibly a plugin. I'm interested in both hearing if folks here think it is feasible, and also if anybody here would be interested in doing the work on this.
I have never done PhotoShop scripting and I think it would be the best use of resources to subscontract this out, unless it proves exceedingly easy. The kind of thing someone can do in a single forum post. In which case, if you do that for me, I'll be sure to get you something for your time as a thank you :-)
Here's the situation: my client runs a niche stock photography business and deals with tens of thousands of hi-res TIFF images. Each of those images is assigned a list of keywords, a serial number, the photographer who took the picture, the date, the location, etc. Lots of information. He's got a FileMaker Pro database where he stores all that information.
Some of those bits of information he also wants in the IPTC data for the TIFF image. The keywords in particular are the main field he's interested in getting into the TIFF images.
He has been dealing with this process manually so far in Bridge CS4. He goes to each image, and copy/pastes the keywords into the IPTC data. But he's interested in figuring out a better way to do this. He can get a spreadsheet that has all the keywords and filenames out of his database, and what we'd like to do is have a Photoshop script that can read in that CSV file, and then scan a directory for TIFF images with those filenames, and write the appropriate keywords onto those TIFF images.
Is this possible? I'm eager to hear feedback on this. Right now he's got a slew of 1800 images that he got on slide film from photographers, and has scanned, but hasn't written the IPTC keywords to yet. If we can use this process on those, that would be great.
-Josh

Hi Paul and Mark,
That link Paul posted looks very promising. I'll have to test it out.
One question: is there anywhere I can get Adobe Bridge CS4? Since that's what my client has, that's what I'd like to test with. I've been looking but can't find anything but the most recent version (CS5) for trial download.

IPTC Keywords are not comma delimited?

I like the fact that I can now export my photos and get the keywords added to the IPTC keywords field in the JPG.
But! Why are the keywords not comma delimited? When I have used other programs (like Photoshop Elements 3) to add keywords, they are stored as comma delimited. But iPhoto just puts spaces between the keywords, and when I upload them to Flickr, they get treated as one multi-word tag instead of individual tags.
The IPTC specification I found says:
+2:25 Keywords+
+Repeatable, maximum 64 octets, consisting of graphic characters plus spaces.+
+Used to indicate specific information retrieval words.+
+Each keyword uses a single Keywords DataSet. Multiple keywords use multiple Keywords DataSets.+
Can this be fixed?

Brenda:
You'll have to request that at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture Keywords VS IPTC keywords

The Aperture manual says:
Important: If you are planning to export your keywords as IPTC data, make sure your keyword phrases are no more than 64 characters in length. Longer keyword phrases may not be displayed properly in other IPTC editors or operating systems.
OK. But how do I export my Aperture Keywords to IPTC data????
Thanks
Marion

I copied the text shown below from the online manual.
*Applying IPTC Metadata and Keywords to Your Images*
<SNIP> You can apply these keywords to your images when
exporting to JPEG, TIFF, and PSD file formats. <SNIP>
To include metadata with images at export:
1 Select the image or images you want to export.
2 Choose File > Export > Versions (or press Command-Shift-E).
3 Navigate to the location where you want the exported images placed.
4 Choose Edit from the Export Preset pop-up menu.
5 In the Export Presets dialog, select the export preset you want to use to export
your images.
6 Select the Include Metadata checkbox.
7 Click OK.
8 Choose a name format for your exported files from the Name Format pop-up menu.
9 Click Export Versions.
I am ok for steps 1,2,3. But, after I navigate to the folder, I don't see where I can "choose edit from an Export Preset Pop-up Menu"
I don't have an Export preset Pop-up Menu....
Is it on the file navigation window? Or the main Aperture pull-down menu?
Thanks

Bridge CS3 Indexing with Keywords

Hi,
When indexing, is the index saved? It seems that every time I search for a keyword Bridge indexes, then does not find the photos with the keyword. I have even searched the folder I know has the photos.
Am I missing something?

Not clear as to the problem. What is your interpretation of "search for a keyword Bridge indexes"? When you do a search do you get the dreaded "no items to display"? If so, check to make sure you are searching the correct folder, with the proper keyword, file name, or whatever (no extra search lines), and have the correct logic statement in Match.

CS3 Extended - IPTC field limit of 32 characters?

When I open an image, then save it - Photoshop will shorten the information in the Credit field to about 32 characters - BUT not all the times!!?? PS has saved this shorter version to the side in the 'pull down' area. I'm not positive if PS is shortening or using the 'saved' wrong version.
I have two questions -
Is there a character limit?
Is there a way to remove typos in the 'saved' area of Credit or other IPTC fields within PS?
Thank you
Lloyd

If you store a 33-character text in the IPTC Sublocation field in LR, do Metadata > Save To File, and then check the metadata with Exiftool, you'll see that the IPTC:Sub-location field contains a truncated 32-character value, while XMP:Location contains the full 33-character value. This conforms to the industry standards.
The terminology is horribly confusing. In the JPEG file format, there are several sections of metadata, including EXIF, IPTC, and XMP. EXIF and IPTC are defined by older standards (cameras create EXIF metadata, and applications create and add to both EXIF and IPTC metdata). The XMP section is defined by a newer industry standard, and it was designed to incorporate all of the fields that can be stored in EXIF and IPTC; a subset of the XMP fields (a "namespace") is called the "IPTC Core" and defines fields similar to the legacy IPTC fields but without the restrictions.
A recent standard, the Metadata Working Group's Guidelines for Handling Image Metadata 2.0, defines the rules for how the three sections of metadata (EXIF, IPTC, and XMP) should be "synchronized". LR appears to mostly conform to that standard.

Keywords, iPhoto '08 and Bridge CS3

I've got a bunch of photos (10,000) with keywords added with Adobe Bridge CS3. When I import these into iPhoto (with "Copy items to the iPhoto library" checked/enabled), the keywords import.
But when I use iPhoto to add new keywords, these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database. And Spotlight keys off the actual file, so none of my newly added keywords are searchable in Spotlight, only the IPTC keywords on the file. Which is not what I want.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them. That *****. Big time.
Does this mean that if I want to use iPhoto exclusively (abandoning Bridge CS3) to manage my photos etc that I have to somehow strip off all IPTC keywords and then re-import to iPhoto, and then re-tag all my 10,000 files with keywords? Please tell me there is an easier way.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database
This is correct. You can write them to the file on export (File -> Export).
iPhoto is your photo organiser, so the idea is that you don't search in Spotlight but in iPhoto or in a media browser that hooks into iPhoto. Remember, if you're using iPhoto you can't really access the files via the Finder anyway.(* See Below for more)
You do need to choose between Bridge and iPhoto. They do the same job but surfing the iPhoto library with Bridge is one of the more common ways of damaging it.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them.
I'm afraid that I'm not sure the point you're making. iPhoto will read the IPTC tags and add to them on export.
*There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

What are IPTC best practices? Is it fine to make city a keyword?

I am looking for a good resource on IPTC keyword tagging.
Specifically if there are any do's/dont's regarding setting up the hierarchy for keywords.
For example, I know that there are IPTC fields for City, Country name, etc. But would I be better served by making the location in the photo (eg Kansas) a Keyword, and making that a sub-category of United States?
Thank you-

I don't put geographic information in the keywords; the country, state, city, and sub-location fields serve well for that purpose. Check out http://www.terragalleria.com for an option on using keywords, which QT Luong uses as subjects.

Why is bridge reducing number of characters in keywords in IPTC?

I have a lot of photos tagged with keywords and titles in Windows explorer. I am trying to somehow convert these to IPTC format. I had been told that bridge could do this but need some help.
Firstly what is the easiest way to make the IPTC data stick to the photos, do I need to open each one and save the file individuallly? I have tried doing a batch rename but when i open the photos in another piece of software i have it seems the IPTC keywords have been restricted t a small number of characters. Is bridge doing this? Is there a character limit in IPTC?

See answer in this thread in post #2. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/544918;jsessionid=6A1F8C7464640A9CE95D1B66951A5B38.node0?ts tart=0

Possible Keyword Bug

Okay,
I think I have found a possible bug with keywords, or maybe just an incositancy. It's kind of a messy situation so I'm hoping someone can help me out or maybe point me in the right direction to send this feedback to Apple.
I had a bunch of jpeg files from my older cameras that had already been tagged with keywords (in the IPTC keyword field I believe). Once I imported all of these into Aperture I stripped the keywords from all the images. That worked fine.
Before I get into the actual issue let me give a little bit of information on my Aperture library layout: I have folders created by year, then 1 project per month. So I have something like this:
2002
01 Janurary
02 Feburary
2003
01 Janurary
What's weird is if I create a new smart album at the folder level, the keywords listed in the search box are appropriate (only those actually added to images). However if I click on Library and create a new smart album (so that it searches the whole library) it lists all of my current keywords, plus all of those that I had removed (from the original files).
Anyone else run across this? Anyone know how to fix it? It's just a minor inconvience, but it does make it a bit of a pain to have a whole ton of keywords to select from in the search box (most of them no longer having any images associated with them).
Also I have searched for images that match the old keywords and it doesn't find any.
Thanks,
Mark

She suggests..
"Go to Window > Show Keywords HUD, and see if they are there. If so, you should be able to delete them from there."
Hopefully, they will then disappear from the Library list.
if not, it does seem like a bug.
