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

File Info Description Copyright Notice text problem

I want to change the Copyright Notice text in File>File Info>Description in a way that is permanent. Back in 2009 I set the text to say "Copyright 2009" and now I want it to say Copyright 2011. Changing the text works for the current image but the next image I open, it reverts to 2009. How do I fix this?

that there are DEFAULT values for both Photographer and Copyright Notice that are loaded (from SOMEWHERE) every time I launch Photoshop.
Sounds like you may already have a Script to add the © notice.
Yes, I did misunderstand the need.
Good luck, and I see that you are suffering from a "split-personality." Post with both I.D.s to the Forum Comments forum, and Adobe-Admin will help you straighten things out. Note: Adobe is on Summer holiday, until July 10, so John might not be working, until then.

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

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 :-)

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.

Photoshop changes file info xmp metadata - unknown to public domain?

Curious if anyone has feedback or solution for the following:
My PSD file's metadata enters photoshop with "unknown" as the copyright status, and then after I save it in a new format or with a new name
, I notice that in Bridge the copyright status shows up incorrectly as "public domain." This is incorrent and should not change on
its own. I've been using Photoshop with Bridge for many years, and have never seen this...

I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
is no longer the node that can be appended.
Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
<rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

Batch File Info problem: (CS3)

As was the case with CS2, when in bridge adding file info. to multiple files, the data entered within Copyright Notice, Copyright Status and Copyright Info URL is shown as entered and correct when checking back the file info. within Bridge - However, if one of those files is then opened in Photoshop and the file info. is checked, the data entered is either incomplete or simply not being shown.
This occurs when working working on TIFFS. When working with JPEG it does not.
Process:
1) Bridge - Adding file info.
- Select multiple files.
- Right click > File info
- Enter file info. data.
- Click ok.
2) Bridge - Checking file info.
- Select one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Right click > File info.
- Check info. panels for correct data.
- All appears correct and as entered.
3) Photoshop - Checking file info.
- Open one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Check file info:
i) Having chosen Copyrighted as the option within Copyright Status, now appears untouched and defaults to Unknown!!
ii)Data entered within Copyright Notice appears incomplete, showing only the first sentence and a half. (i.e 22 words, 107 characters (no spaces) 128 characters (with spaces))
iii)Data entered within Copyright Info URL does not appear.
I figured this would have been sorted for CS3?!
For me this is a really major issue, your assistance and a fix are desperately, desperately needed.
Kind regards
Will

I am using Vista, but have no problems with opening File Info on multiple files.

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!"

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

Photoshop CS2 File Info Templates fill in all pages, not just it's own

I just purchased an Acer Laptop computer, has an AMD 64x2 Dual Core Processor, 2GB of DDR2 Ram, 160GB hard drive with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I'm not sure how any of this could be of any help, though.
I've just installed Photoshop CS2, Neat image noise remover, Nik sharpener, and Huey pro calibrator on it.
This is to be a second computer to a Dell desktop, that will be used when out of town and we want to work on our images.
Today we opened Photoshop CS2 and tried to work on some Raw images. We were just going to crop them and fill in the File Info on them then save them to jpeg.
The cropping went fine. When we tried to enter file info and save the Metadata Templates we had trouble. There are 7 of 12 different pages of info that can be changed, the other 5 can't be, I think. Anyway, we were filling in the Description, IPTC Contact, ITPC Content, IPTC Image and IPTC Status pages. We saved the IPTC Contact page as a Metadata Template.
The first image went fine, but when we opened other images, and typed in the information it all changed back to the information on the first image we did when the saved Contact template was used. When we saved the IPTC template for the first image it save the information on all of the pages, not just the Contact page. When we realized this, I started playing around with it and whatever template was saved last will give you all the information typed in on all pages that was there when that template was saved. I also checked the Photoshop CS2 installed on the Dell Desk Top and it is working correctly. We have templates for Description, IPTC Contact, and IPTC Image saved on it. These will give you the information on the individual page not all.
Why would it be doing this on the Laptop and more importantly, how can I fix it?
I sure hope this makes sense and do apologize for the length of it. Thanks in advance for any help I can get. Linda

I was having a similar problem - I was saving an SVG from Illustrator, only to find that when I tried to open it or place it back in Illustrator, I got the error "This SVG is Invalid. Validate it before opening."
You can run the SVG through the W3C validator, remove all the parts causing errors using a simple text editor like Notepad, and then Illustrator should be able to open it. This is a laborious process though if you have a lot of SVGs to save.
After a discussion with Apple support, I learned that it was actually one of my graphics in the Illustrator file that was causing the issue. I had placed an SVG I received from a co-worker, changed the colors, and was trying to save it as an SVG again, but for some reason I kept getting that error, even when I tried save other icons/layers in the same document. When I deleted the two layers that were corrupt, the Save As SVG worked perfectly, no errors when opening the file.
I don't know details, but if you are getting this error, try the Flatten Transparency thing like witkacy suggests. If you're still having problems, it may be caused by an SVG you placed in your file. After a little bit of trial and error, you may be able to find the culprit. You may then have to re-create the graphic yourself (like I did). Converting it to outlines or a shape or something may work as well, but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps someone else!

File Info not saved (.gif) (Ps CS6 Extended, Mac)

I'm not certain that I've been building my workflow properly before, so if this was not supposed to be supported, I'm open to that possibility:
Modifying the "file info" for a gif file (in my case, "General" tab, "Document Title" and "Description") doesn't actually get saved with the file - or, at least, if it is saved, it's not visible when re-opening the file.
I believe that I understood that metadata for .png format isn't supported, but I thought that .gif was.
(Test case is easy: open .gif file, add a Title and Description, save, and re-open - information is gone).
Thanks for any help anyone has...

hi Chris & thank you for your response
it doesn't seem possible to add File > Info to a .png image in Photoshop itself. i've tried it a few different ways.
(shoot, actually i should try adding it again in Ps to a .png file and then see if Bridge can read it. hmmmm??)
in an other thread: [ http://forums.adobe.com/message/5642141#5642141 ] Gene told me that i could select Copyright and Contact Info from the Metadata drop down menu in the Save for Web panel to add the info to a .png image but this didn't work.
i don't know if Ps is having one of its "fits" or what but nothing seems to be working.
after a bit Gene was able to tell me that i can add File Info to .png files in the Bridge Cs6 or CC (no idea what the difference is between Ps Cs6 and Ps CC) and so i tried that and it worked.
however, it appears that Ps still cannot read the data/info when the .png image is opened in Ps itself. Only readable in Bridge.
which brings me to an other Q ... what's the point of Copyright info that can't be read? i am not being sarcastic i just really don't understand. granted, i need to read up on this topic but was hoping you could share your thoughts/knowledge w/me oh, and if you have any handy links i would also much appreciate it. thanx 4 ur help!!

How Do I remove all File Info after completeing image?

After completing all work on a Photoshop Image - then saving as a jpeg - all the file info still remains (XMP). How do I delete it?

I appreciate your response and your effort to try to help me. This is all stuff I know nothing about, so please bear with me. I clicked on a picture I am ready to post on Behance – and chose “Save For Web”. There is no option to “Remove Metadata”.
There is a box entitled “Metadata:” – but choices are “Copyright” – “Copyright and Contact Info” - “All Except Camera Info” – “All”.
Is there any other way I could check to remove all the info I see when I open “File Info”?
And, what does all that stuff in the Metadata box mean? I would love to look it up for myself – but have no idea where to go to find info about it.
Please help and thank you.

File Info panel is completely blank

Hello,
I'm trying to add copyright information into my file metadata. When I go to File -> File Info, a window frame pops up but is completely blank inside, no text, no forms, no nothing. I have to press escape to get out of it and back to the program. This occurs in Bridge, Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm using CS6 Production Premium on Windows Vista 64 with 16 GB RAM, an AMD Athlon Phenom II X6 1090T 3.20 Ghz processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 250 graphics card. I have made sure all of my programs are up to date and I can't find anything in any help forums about this. Please help.
Thank you,
Timothy C. Flood

Does metadata actualyl show in Bridge's metadata panel? Have you checked the preferences? This issue usually occurs when you have an invalid custom data field. You may simply need to reset everything.

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.
