HT4028 Aperture IPTC Core Subject Code Exports Incorrectly to PhotoMechanic

Hello. When using IPTC core Subject Code in Aperture, what I type in exports incorrectly when read by PhotoMechanic Software. It seems to default back to previous Subject Code entries that are invisible on my end using Aperture, and can't be "erased". Anyone else having this problem, and please advise on how to fix this. I have contacted Apple tech support multiple times and they have been unable to resolve this problem.

Preview should be able to do this
In Preview you can see the field in the Inspector:
From Peview's main menu bar: Tools > Show Inspector.
Select the IPTC tab
I tested several images - when I set the IPTC Subject Code and exported the edited version as jpeg, the modification showed in Preview correctly in the IPTC Subject code field.
Tested in Aperture 3.5.1, MacOS X 10.9.1

Aperture doesn't appear to write IPTC core correctly ?

Hi,
Having trouble getting some fields specifically written to Nikon NEF's and exported JPG versions of the same.
Specifically the Creator field and Copyright field do not correctly reflect what is entered in Aperture IPTC Core panel even after explicitly writing to masters via menu command. Everything else seems to work.
This is confirmed by Preview > Info Window > IPTC Tab and also Expression Media which doesn't seem to pick up any of the metadata.
Are there known bug's with NEF's - My camera is set to Embed the two suspect fields on capture and I'm wondering if even though I'm explicitly "Replacing" the metadata in the Batch Change command, somehow this is still not respected by Aperture ??
Is there a way to force Aperture to output XMP Sidecars ?
Any input welcome ?
Thanks

After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
Hope this helps.

IPTC field codes -- Bridge IPTC Core metadata

Is there a reference somewhere as to which IPTC codes match up with the IPTC Core fields in Bridge metadata?
A list of the codes is here, so you know what I'm talking about. For example, the Description field in Bridge metadata corresponds to the Caption / #120 code in this list:
http://www.fotoware.com/binaries/fsp50/userguide/28.htm
I'm using a plug-in that writes image info from a database into the corresponding file's IPTC fields based on the IPTC code, but the names of the fields on the list of codes don't match up with what they're called in Bridge, so it's taking a lot of trial and error to figure out where things go.

Never mind, found one. It doesn't mention Bridge specifically, but it has Photoshop and Lightroom (along with several other image-browsing apps) and both seem similar to Bridge:
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/iptc_core_mapped.pdf

If I enter a tag in LR will that info be sent to the IPTC scene code or IPTC subject code?

Someone in another forum said the IPTC would pick up that info but my LR5 does not do it automatically. Are they correct or do I have to put something in the configuration?

Are you entering the Scene Code and Subject Code in the Metadata panel as shown below?

CS5, IPTC core, only author is showing in content

Metadata>IPTC core>creator, job title......>apply. Only the creator s name is showing in content, (as author) not the other items. Any clue why?
Thanks

First of all, where I am: Bridge, I opened up a folder, clicking on the
metadata tab gives a dark gray panel with the thumbnails listed on the left,
What you call the metadata tab I think is in fact the Metadata workspace?
(To my own opinion the Metadata workspace is very useless, but that aside)
My purpose: to make sure that the person on the other end of the mail gets the
captions. I figured out a good part of it , but not all.
In preferences, all the options are checked, so basically I can "write"
anything i want, but I only need title and author.
The preferences for Bridge metadata gives you option to check or uncheck but
that is only to see the lines that you check are visible in the metadata
panel. If you have the option 'hide empty fields' also checked (by default
on) the fields that have no info in it will not show.
But the IPTC in the file info is still having all this fields written to it.
I found out that if I write those (description and author) in Photoshop
file\info, they appear simultaneously in Bridge in both the the lighter gray
panel to the left, in the white fiels with the pencils, AND next to the
thumbnails, in the dark gray panel.
Bridge just reflects the info you have filled in, only the main window of
the Metadata Workspace does show very little of the content and you are not
able to select what info you want to show next to the thumbs Hence my
'useless' qualification...)
The metadata panel itself however can be of great help for you. You can make
a template for the IPTC / file info. This can be done in both PS and Bridge.
For PS open File info and fill in the fields that you think will need the
same info for every file (your name address copyright etc ) and when done
click export.
For Bridge (where you can also open file info) you have the ability to use
the metadata panel. Top right of the panel is a small icon that provides you
a fly out menu. Here you can choose to create a template but also you can
choose to add a template (when having a template created).
This is a major time saver that let's you add the same info you want to add
to all your files in one go. Select the files you want to alter and choose
append metadata and click on the template you want to add.
Now the files need some time to save but all the data is there!
Having multiple files that need the same description/caption you only have
to select those files and in the editable fields in the metadata IPTC core
section you can write this once and they are written to all the selected
files when done.
Besides that Batch rename (tools/batch rename) let you create a really easy
to use naming convention with auto adding sequence number shot date and a
lot more options.
What is left for me to understand: if my data is embedded from file\info, and
to be more precise it should be file\info\save for web because it seems that a
different title in save for web prevails over file\info
Not sure I understand this, you mean the mobile SFW tab in file info? Or the
file after having used the save for web option to create a file for web??
I verify that the data is there, which means that I dont have to write
nothing anymore, so what is the purpose of the lighter gray panel with the
little pencils?
Those fields let you add custom info to the metadata if you should wish so.
Preferable you should fill in as much as possible in the IPTC using the
template.
Leaving you with only having to add a few fields with custom info that
changes per file/subject. Description, keywords, date created, City, state,
country are fields that can be read by many applications and also will be
used to search for files using phrases or keywords.
What is confusing, is that, and I rephrase the old question, if you write
creator in the IPTC core next to the little pencil, that will appear next to
the thmbnail in the dark gray panel, if the thumbnail is selected of course,
but the next item, job title will not appear, even if I click on apply at the
bottom of the pencils.
If this is still about the metadata workspace forget about it. If you fill
in that field or have filled it in using a template and it shows in the
metadata panel it is saved in there

Amount in Bar Code is incorrect;Amount in the line item can be used instead

We have a problem in our Brazil company code.
When we have a document with value higher than 5,000.00 BRL it is subject to Pis/cofins tax. In the Boleto (paper) document the amount is after tax deducted. But we see the full amount in the Vendor line item in SAP
When the system reads the bar code and saves this code in the vendor line item during the document change we get a warning message no."8B797: Amount in Bar Code is incorrect;Amount in the line item can be used instead".
And the amount in the Barcode line automatically adjusts itself to the line item amount which is the pre-tax amount (full amount).
Example: Amount in the SAP Invoice doc is R$ 6,268.72
Amount in Boleto (paper) R$ 5,977.22 (after deducting PIS/COFINS) - This amount appears in the bar code but once we press enter after the warning message it automatically adjusts to R$ 6,268.72 .
We tried few notes like 784748 to apply but it says it is obsolete. We are on ECC 6.0 Release level 11.

Do search engines make use of IPTC Core metadata?

I'm using Bridge to organise a large group of maps (the maps are JPEG images), which will be published on my organisation's website. These maps are about niche topics and very specific areas of the UK.
I'm wondering if there are any SEO benefits from adding IPTC Core metadata to these map images using Bridge? Does anyone know if search engines use the meta?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm talking about whether Google etc. pay any attention to the meta in the images.
My map images are exported from the source map application as JPEGs.
I'm not using a batch 'Save for web' in Photoshop, as the map images aren't designed for viewing in web pages - I'm just putting the maps up on the web to quickly share them for re-use by other people.
In Bridge, I can quickly add the basic meta (copyright notice, addresses, rights usage terms, etc.) by selecting all the JPEGs and then do the title and description individually. Just wondering if it's worth the effort?

Need Info on new "IPTC Core" XMP Schema

I have seen in quite a few places that there is a new "IPTC Core" XMP Schema, probably to replace the old IPTC binary structure and the various aliases scattered in other XMP schemas. This happened months ago, and details were to be released by the end of 2004, but I can't find anything anywhere.
I have about 150GB of digitized photo and I once wrote my own software to insert XMP in my TIFFs/JPEGs. I already added my own XMP schema to describe my photos in a specific way, but I'd also like to throw this information in an XMP schema that is (or at least, will be for the next 10 years or so) recognized in several applications. Most important, I'm about to archive all of that to read-only media, so I'd like to do it in a proper way once for good.
So far, it seems that IPTC is very descriptive and is what matches the more closely my own XMP schema, and don't want to have to duplicate information across several schemas such as "Photoshop" or "Dublic Core", unless that what the new "IPTC Core" is all about, but I seriously doubt it. I don't want to go with the old IPTC structure either.
After all, if there is "so many standard to choose from", that's because there isn't actualy any!
Anybody got any information of that new "IPTC Core" XMP Schema?

Emmanuel,
It's been a while since you posted your message, but here's the info in the event you haven't already found it:
http://www.iptc.org/IPTC4XMP/index.php
I just started digging into XMP a few days ago and am planning to write software to add/read info from image files for the automagic creation of web pages. I've been using Adobe's XMP SDK and would be very interested in hearing how you wrote your code.
Cheers,
Andreas

Exporting to PDF, the letter t is exported incorrectly

Hello.
I have an winforms app developed in .net 3.5. Reports are made in Crystal Reports 2008. I have a problem when exporting a report to PDF. The application have about 10 reports, and all but one works fine. The report looks correct when displayed in the CrystalReportViewer, but the exported PDF is not. Some characters are displayed incorrectly. The letter 't' is displayed as 'tt'. But if I select the text, it selectes the two t's at the same time, as if they where one character. If i select and copy the text and paste it into notepad, the text is correct.
Not all t's are displayed incorrectly. All t's using the font Cambria are correct, all t's in the font Calibri turns into "tt"
For example:
In CrystalReportViewer the following text is displayed "lit"
In the exported PDF the following text is displayed "litt". If I select the text and copy it to another document, i get "lit".
I've tested the app on 4 different machines.
1. A Windows Server 2003, the exported PDF is correct here
2. A Windows Server 2008 R2, the exported is not correct here.
3. My development-machine, also running Windows Server 2008 R2. The exported PDF is correct here.
4. Another machine running. Windows Server 2008 R2. The PDF was incorrect here. all t's here displayed as "ti", so "lit" became "liti". On this machine I installed the very latest runtime (fixpack 3.3).
I looked in the GAC, and all machines seems to have the correct runtime installed (version 12).
I compared a working report with the report that is exported incorrectly, they both use the same font. Calibri.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Kind Regards Johan

Don't forget to use the search box at the top[ right corner of this web page. The term "Calibri net crystal" returns one hit:

Mismatch in "Date Created" in File Properties vs IPTC Core

I have scanned my old photos in .jpg format. When I try to change the Date Created (Select Photo -> Right-Click -> File Info... -> under IPTC Image -> Change the Date Created to the date the event was held), the Date Created under File properties did not change. In effect, when I want to do a search of dates, it does its search on the Date Created in File properties.
Can I change the date on the File Properties? If so, how. Can this be done on a batch, like synchronization of Date Created in File Properties and IPTC Core but using the information on the IPTC core.
btw, I am using Bridge that comes part of the Photoshop CS2.
Heeelllllppppp........

There have been several posts about changing the "date created" in Bridge. The conclulsion is NO. There are other programs that can do this so concentrate your efforts there (do not have a list so will have to explore).
Do not confuse the three "dates" that are in metastock.
     Date Created (as set by camera when shot).
     Date File Created
     Date File Modified

Why is my country code is incorrect and indeed it is correct in my billing payment info?

May I know why is my country code is incorrect and indeed it is correct in my billing payment info. I can't purchase anything from the AppStore.

Hi,
I had the same problem, it was asking for my security code and never was accepted. What I did is:
Open iTunes - Go to Store -> View my account -> Enter the password
Click Edit in the Payment information section
It will ask for your security code, click on the NONE button and then DONE. It will say that you do not have any credit card on file anymore.
Click Edit again in the Payment Information secction and enter the correct credit card and click DONE.
It will store the new information and then you can use the correct security code in your IOS devices.
I hope this works also for you. Good luck.

Raw files (CR2) - Cannot modify IPTC Core fields, get error messages

I really hope someone out there can help me out here because I'm at my wit's end!!!!
I have a bunch of raw files in a folder, these are just pictures I took for a bit of general practice over Christmas.
Now, whilst trying to modify the IPTC Core Fields (basically adding my name and my email address to the pictures), it worked fine for most of the pictures, but for some reason it will not work for the last 20. This is driving me nuts. :(
The first picture which doesn't work was taken literally 2 seconds after the last one which does work. All pictures work perfectly well in Photoshop, I can open them, modify them, save them as jpgs... no problem. But it just won't let me change the metadata. The pencils on the IPTC Core fields are nowhere to be found, the option File>File Info appears greyed out... etc.
The error messages I get:
1. When clicking on any line of the IPTC Core Fields (such as "Creator") =
i "This property cannot be modified".
2. When clicking on the keywords tab and trying to enter keywords =
i "The file Name.CR2 cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
I have scoured the web for help, visited multiple forums... to no avail. It looks like other people are having the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution. I haven't done anything different to those 20 pictures, so I just can't think of a logical answer, it just doesn't make sense!!
I am only starting to catalogue my pictures in the hope of going professional one day and this is extremely discouraging... if anyone out there can help, I'd be ever so grateful. Right now I just feel like pulling my hair out!! :'(
OK, rant over :)
Thanks very much for reading and thanks very, very much in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!

I have run into the same problem. I downloaded photos in raw format ".CR2" from a Canon 40D via a compact flash card reader to my laptop. I labelled the ones I wanted green and then transferred these images via wireless transfer to my desktop. I had not checked any keywords while these were on the laptop. I used the Bridge (CS3)File/Copy to menu selection to effect the transfer. Both systems are Windows XP, SP2.
I then tried to check a keword in my list for an image and got the error message number 2 reported by Maria Atkins above. I got the same for all images on the desktop system.
Observations:
-the green labelled items are correctly filtered on the desktop, but the labels on the images all show white.
-not all images even have .xmp files associated with them. It appears to be a random thing.
-although I have checked my preference to have double click open an image in Camera Raw in Bridge it will not do so with these images, always opening Camera Raw in Photoshop.
-the camera exif data is correctly attached to the images, whether there is a .xmp file associated or not.
-On my laptop I found I can check keywords and they are stored with the image with no complaints from Bridge, and whether the image has a .xmp file associated with it or not. This is after I had copied the images to the desktop. I was just checking whether the problem was with the original images or just the transferred ones. It appears to be that something was not done correctly in the transfer.
This is not a trivial issue since it is essential for cataloging images to enable future searches. I hope someone from Adobe is paying attention and will respond with an answer.

Is there a way to sync my IPTC Core "date created" with my File Properties "Date File Created" for m

I am working with a massive file of images and part of the issue is that I need to match the Date Create in the IPTC Core to that of the File Properties "Date File Created" for each image. Is there a way to do that automatically?

The date data is complex. Read through this post and see if it sheds any light on your question. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1171910

IPTC Core metadata fields lost with PNGs

Hi there,
I have a TIF file which contains data in the IPTC core fields. Converting the TIF to a JPEG will retain most of the fields and can be viewed still in Adobe Bridge.
However, converting to a PNG will lose all of the data. The only way it seems to retain metadata is to set options on the Save to Web options in Photoshop, which doesn't really work too good with a 100mb TIF being converted.
Resampling to PNG in ImageMagick and then reading in Bridge has the same issue, even though 8BIN and IPTC profiles are actually embedded into the file.
Does Bridge support IPTC core metadata for PNG files?
Many thanks!

They've confirmed the same thing i've found, that Save For Web actually preserves a chunk of the IPTC core data, but this isn't really any good for the quality of image I need to save.
It's strange how the XMP preserve option isn't available for a standard PNG save.
