Image IPTC

In the image IPTC area of the MetaData... what is "Intellectual Genre" used for?
I've been using the 'Scene' field for a short description of the image. Is this the best place to put that, or should that go under Content: Caption.
What is the Status IPTC area used for?

I suppose Intellectual Genre could be; fine art, abstract, or anything else really. As it is data that you input yourself I suppose you could use it for whatever you wanted.

  • Importing metadata to IPTC

    I work for a museum with large photography collections. We've created tens of thousands of digital image master files, along with database records for each image. In the interest of relating metadata to images in a more reliable way over time, is there a way to import data--and our database allows us to export data as XML and ascii, along with a handful of other formats--into image IPTC profiles using Bridge or some other application? Is there a way to do this in large batches?

    If you can't find a program that will do this for you, as Daniel mentioned, a script can be written to import your data from a csv or xml file into your metadata.  You can also create custom metadata panels with custom fields that might serve you better than the "stock" fields in IPTC.  We have something like this at work, where our photogaphers use a bar reader to create a text file of the parts they shoot.  then we have a script that imports that info into the photo's metadata.  Before you spend too much time on finding a solution for this, you might want to wait until Adobe finalizes their transition from Flash Panels to HTML5 panels sometime this year.  You don't want to spend hours finding a solution only to have to find another one.

  • Text under photos in Web-gallery

    How do I Put my own text under the photos when I create a web-gallery? If I use Custom, it will show the same under all photos, and if I use titles, I have to rename all, and then I can not use the same title for some...
    Lars

    Enter the data (text) into each images IPTC caption field and then ask LR to display it from that field.

  • Importing Meta through .xmp

    Is it still impossible to import raw's and their .xmp files to preseve the meta data already input? I've held off using Aperture mainly for this reason. Lightroom is nice but I find it to be very slow in certain operations and want to investigate Aperture more. I just can't imagine re inputing 40,000 images IPTC information.
    Thanks for any clues.

    Aperture has been out now for some 20 months. Do you have any idea if it is even remotely in the plans to allow the importation of meta.
    It seems like such a bullet in the foot for Apple to not do this, I'm sure I'm not the only one staying away because of this.
    Thanks for your response though!

  • Adding new categories to Financial Categories in DBI for Financials

    Hi,
    Has anyone defined new financial categories as part of setups for R12 DBI for Financials?
    Even if new financials categories can be added to the Fianancial lookup for Finacial catgeories, can this cahnge be reflected in standard dashboards?

    When opening a photo in my "File Info" categories I have : Description, Adobe Stock Photos, IPTC Contact, IPTC Image, IPTC Content, IPTC Status, and Advanced.  Can I add: Camera Data 1, Camera Data  2, and History to that also?  If so, how do I do that?
    Adobe calls these categories Custom File Info Panels.  They are scripts that you "install" simply by copying them into a special folder.  PSE 6 for Windows supports custom panels, and I'm reasonably confident PSE 6 Mac does too.
    On Windows, you put the scripts into:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    I don't have a Mac, but I found this at IPTC.org:
    On a Macintosh OSX system the custom panel files may be installed in either of the following
    locations:{Root Volume} /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels{Home Directory}/Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/
    Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    As for the particular scripts you need, it seams strange your PSE doesn't have Camera Data1 and Camera Data 2 -- they're in the Windows version. Did you try reinstalling?  I don't know what History is.
    (It's confusing for people to determine which panels are "standard" with PSE.   The Mac and Windows versions are different, and it also depends on which other Adobe applications you've installed.)

  • PSE 11 Mac will not quit

    PSE 11 won't quit when I quit the application. It stays in memory and force quit shows it not responding. I can't shut my system down unless I force quit PSE 11 first.
    Help

    Let me explain this using a scenario. Suppose you have a JPEG (from your camera). As of now it won't have any tag info into IPTC. You imported this image into Organizer. Now you created a tag and applied on this image. At this point of time the tag is only in PSE catalog db file. Also if you import the same image into another catalog, it won't have any tag info in its IPTC.
    To write a tag (from pse catalog db file) to image's IPTC, you need to use 'File->Write keyword tag and properties info to Photos' for PSE10 and previous versions (File->Save keyword tag to metadata info' in PSE11). Once you do this, the tag is now present in both catalog as well as in image IPTC info'. Now if you import this image into any other PSE catalog, it will show the tag written in its IPTC but not present in this new catalog'
    let me know if you need more clarification.

  • Is there a way to edit IPTC data of an image with AppleScript?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a way to batch-edit the IPTC data from images. Is that somehow possible with Applescript? If so, could someone point me to a direction?
    (I fond a script working wit Graphic Converter in another thread, but that didn't work.)
    Thanks,
    p.

    Frank, maybe you could give me a hand here. I'm building the basic script cycling through the dropped files. But I don't know how to best implement the terminal command.
    In each cycle, I would set the file path as a variable and then compose the terminal command in order to execute it with "do script".
    But  "set x to path of eachFile" doesn't work: <<class ppth>> of alias "(path shows here)" could not be read. Any ideas how to do that better?
    on open theFiles
      repeat with eachFile in theFiles
                        set x to path of eachFile
                        tell application "Terminal"
                         activate
                        do script "hello" (Exiftool command will be here)
                        close window 1
                        end tell
              end repeat
    end open

  • Import images WITHOUT any IPTC metadata

    I've been racking by brain trying to work out how to do this, but cannot find a way, I'm sure it's something simple.
    When I import my files the keywords are always imported and put into the top of the keyword directory instead of nested in folders I have organised in the keyword HUD. To solve this I have to remove all the new keywords, then import my IPTC metadata using iView Media Pro and the excellent Annoture.
    Is there a way to import images without any IPTC data coming with them? I have tried 'Add Metadata From: All IPTC' and had it set to replace and left the fields blank, but this did not work.
    Any ideas?

    Ok, half way there. I downloaded an app called Pref Setter to edit the preferences by deleting the array strings that I no longer needed.
    Also you can adjust the hierarchy of the auto completion data. I found that helpful with the copyright field since they all start off the same.
    Need to still find a way to have the data automatically entered from a default setting, with out having to start typing.

  • Multiple Image Upload removes IPTC APP13 Data?

    I recently updatet the Multiple Image Upload because of the Flash Upload Problems. This is working now. But now after uploading an image the $info['APP13'] IPTC data disappears.
    This is a major problem for me, because I use this data on a photographer website. Has anyone experienced this problem?

    Do you have a question?
    You didn't ask one in either of your posts.

  • Synchronizing IPTC/IIM and XMP metadata in JPEG images

    Excerpt of "IPTC Core Implementation Guidelines", section 2.2.1 available on http://www.iptc.org/IPTC4XMP/:
    The basic functionality of this synchronising mechanism [between IPTC/IIM metadata in IRB and XMP metadata] is:
    - To move metadata from the IRB to a new XMP packet in case an image file is opened with such an IRB but without an XMP packet. If the file is saved both the IRB and the XMP packet will be stored to the header section of this file.
    - To move metadata from the XMP packet to a new IRB in case an image file is opened with an XMP packet but without an IRB. If the file is saved both the IRB and the XMP packet will be stored to the header section of this file.
    - To update the metadata values of the IRB respectively the XMP packet from the newer source to the older destination. Which set is newer or older is detected by a hash value over each block of metadata. (More detailed information is available from Adobes XMP web pages at www.adobe.com/xmp and in the software development kits.)
    I have checked for Adobe XMP web site and searched in "XMP Specification, January 2004" and I have not found explanations about this "hash value over each block of metadata" mechanism.
    Moreover, it seems that it does not work regarding to the following simple experiment:
    - 1. add metadata to a JPEG image using Photoshop CS (which adds both IPTC/IIM data in IRB and data in XMP)
    - 2. edit these metadata using an "IPTC/IIM-only and non-XMP-aware" editor like IrfanView, XNView or any other one
    - 3. go back to Photoshop CS which displays the "old" XMP metadata ignoring changes done previously using the IPTC-only editor.
    Of course this experiment works using an "XMP-aware" editor like iView Media Pro or PixVue in step 2.
    So it seems very easy to get images with IPTC/IIM and XMP metadata not synchronized when the image workflow uses different programs to edit metadata.
    Am I missing or misunderstanding something ?
    I have found a radical method stripping XMP metadata (in a step 2 bis...) using David Crowell's JStrip, see
    http://davidcrowell.com/jStrip.aspx
    Do you know any other best method to keep IPTC/IIM and XPM data synchronized when an image workflow uses different metadata editors and some of them are not XMP-aware ?

  • Editing IPTC core 16 bit images

    Does bridge CS3 support editing the IPTC core on 16 bit images? I've been working with a photographer that has a 16bit work flow and I noticed that the IPTC fields of the 16bit files are not populated nor can they be edited.
    If you look at the file info in PS everything is there and can be edited.
    I'd also like to know if the data fields of the "metadata" tab from PS is accessible from bridge. I can't seem to find the fields that correspond to that pane. These images are for Getty submissions so the Keywords and release status are critical.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Strange
    If you can add metadata to the IPTC fields in PSCS you must see them in Bridge and also should you be able to edit the fields that have the pencil icon at the end in the metadata panel.
    To be sure could you try to develop and save a raw file from your own production in ACR using the 16 bit option and see if you can edit this files at the desired places?
    If this is also not possible you could try the purge cache for folder option via the tools menu and even the reset preferences for Bridge option with restarting it while holding down the option key and choose refresh preferences.

  • Filling out IPTC Core information to be the same for all images?

    How do I fill out all the IPTC Core info so that any and all images I load into Bridge - that info stays constant - such as 'Creator'   'Country'  'Phone'   'Copyright'  etc. ?

    Image Processor doesn't get me what I'm after.
    Photoshop has the option to create a contact sheet. So imagine that I want to create a contact sheet of images, but keep them on separate layers, and be able to change the size of the images as I feel, to fit my collage.

  • Metadata - IPTC Image Location data entry

    Mac OS X 10.4.9, Lightroom 1.3.1
    I have accidentially entered a mistyped spelling for "France" in the "Country" box when entering IPTC Image locatin info.
    Now, each time I start typing "France," the menu drops down with the list of all the words I've used that start "Fr..." with the correct and incorrect spelling.
    How do I get rid of the incorrect spelling? Is there a way I can delete just that word? Can I delete all of the words that drop down?
    MikeS

    OK, the solution is found in File/Catalog Settings. Select the Metadata tab; look at "Offer suggestions from recently entered vaules" and click "Clear All Suggestion Lists."
    I keep forgetting about the Catalog Settings since it is a separate preference set not part of Preferences.

  • Oracle UCM - Extract IPTC data from images

    Good Day,
    I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm trying to extract IPTC data from images originating in lightroom and map that data into custom metadata fields on check in. I've installed content categorizer but it doesn't seem to grab the IPTC data. I sure hope someone out there will be able to lend me a hand.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Shawn

    Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
    However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
    SQL> set  newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
    SQL> set recsep EACH
    SQL> set recsepchar '*'
    SQL> set colsep '|@|'
    SQL> select * from testa;
    A         |@|1@        |@|22-JUN-2010
