IPTC Question

I am missing IPTC info that I added during an import. Here is my workflow:
1. Import NEF files and attach a metadata template with contact info.
2. I can see the info in LR.
3. If I bring up the file in Capture NX or Iview, the info is missing.
Do I need to some type of operation to embedd the IPTC data in the NEF file so it stays with the file once I use it outside of LR (for example I want to do some adjustments in Capture NX then generate a jpg. I want the jpg to have the IPTC info).
Thanks.
David

I just tried:
file: metadata
export metadat to file
after selecting the file.
then I open it in nx and iview and still don't see the contact info (creator, address, email...).
Anything else I need to do?
Also I just noticed that when I do a rename on import the file name in the folder does not change to the new name. How do I synchronize the changes in LR to the files?

Bridge IPTC Question

Greeting to all as I am new here and this looks like a great forum.
I often use Bridge to add keywords to my photos for uploading to stock photo sites.
Sometimes I have a photo where I have already added keywords and I am adding another photo to the folder of the same genre where I would like to copy the keywords, title, and description across from one photo to another.
Short of going into the IPTC field by filed on a copy and paste method, is there some way to simply just copy all the IPTC data from one photo to another?
Cheers...

There is no simple way of doing this in Bridge unless a script is used (Sounds like a good project)
Or you could try using ExifTool by Phil Harvey.

Question Regarding IPTC Metadata

I've migrated my iPhoto library into Aperture for the expanded geotagging and metadata support, and it was exhausting. (I had Keyword Manager for iPhoto, and Aperture didn't preserve my hierarchy of keywords, though it imported everything else beautifully.) Anyway, I'd like to leave myself open to the possibility of switching to a different program if necessary, so I'm wondering what information would carry over. My questions are as follows:
1) In the "Write IPTC Metadata to Masters" option, what exactly gets written - I assume everything under the IPTC core, right? (In particular, I've modified the Country/State/City/Location fields, keywords, comments, creator, and source, and it would be a pain to redo all these for 45,000 pictures.)
2) I presume the aforementioned option only alters the metadata and preserves the original image intact; is this correct? Would there be any repercussions to writing these changes to the masters instead of just keeping them within Aperture's database? It seems a lot of users here insist their originals remain completely untouched.
3) Is there an IPTC standard for hierarchal keywords, or will I have to recreate the keyword structure in any photo management software I use? (I've experimented with a trial version of Lightroom 3, and I don't even see a way to manage keywords in it...)
4) Can face tags be written to the metadata? I assume Aperture has its own proprietary format for tagging faces on the photo, but would there at least be an IPTC standard field in which you could list the people tagged in the photo?
In short, I switched to Aperture because iPhoto's tagging options were inadequate for properly organizing my 45,000 photo library. As I did some research on how to effectively make the transition, I found there was a lot more to this "digital asset management" concept that I realized, and so I'm hoping to get some input from some more experienced users. I'm a real stickler for precision and logic in my organization, and it looks like the IPTC core standard has all the fields I need. Thanks in advance!

Just another update ... I did some experimenting and found that the "Write IPTC Metadata to Masters" command does at least write the fields I mentioned in the original post. (Those were the only ones I changed on the test photo.)
Does anyone know offhand if a manually changed date will get written to the master, or will the file still have its original date? (I could test this too, but if someone knows, then I don't have to.)
Also, most importantly, does the option actually resave the entire master with the updated info, or does it somehow just write the metadata? I ask this because I've read that jpegs lose some data to compression every time they're saved, and I'm wondering if writing those tags will cost the photo some quality.

IPTC Preset Question?

Hi Folks,
I've just created a new iptc preset for 2011 and applied it to a series of images using the auto-sync function. However after applying over in the right hand panel in the Library module where the preset tab is, the preset I applied shows "NONE" after I have applied my custom preset. All of the images have been updated, but why does it still show "NONE" each time. If I have selected my custom preset, shouldn't that be what is showing in the small window?
Am I doing something wrong or have a setting wrong?
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

You're doing nothing wrong. It's a quirk of the way Lr applies/displays the preset. Been that way forever and bugged more times than I can recall.
BTW: it's much safer to apply metadata presets from within the Library Grid (i.e. select the images then choose the appropriate preset). That way will avoid applying unwanted metadata from the most selected image to the others.

Filename to IPTC Title, but without extension. (Currently using DAM script)

Hello,
Apologies if this isn't the correct forum to ask this question:
I am currently using the DAM Filename to Title script with Bridge CS4 - http://www.damuseful.com/pages/PimpMyBridge.html - to get the filename into the IPTC title script. This however puts in the extension into the title field also. So a JPG file named 2000 ends up with 2000.JPG in its Title field. I wish to not have the extension appear in the Title field.
Is this possible by modifying the DAM script / using any other freely available script.
In case it helps, this is what the DAM script currently looks like:
#target bridge
if ( BridgeTalk.appName = "bridge" )
//This script copies selected thumbnails' filenames to the title field
//Also shows how to add menu items
//The AdobeLibrary scripts must be loaded
//This script was created by John Beardsworth www.beardsworth.co.uk/ and modified by Peter Krogh www.DAMuseful.com
//This script may be freely distributed and modified
// Let's create our menu
    var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Write Filename to IPTC Title Field", "at the end of Tools");
    menu.onSelect = function(m)
var getFolderChildren = true ;
var filesOnly = true ;
var thumbs = getBridgeThumbnails ( TYPES.PHOTOSHOP_OPENABLE, getFolderChildren, filesOnly) ;
for ( var i = 0; i < thumbs.length; i++ )
{ thumb = thumbs[i];
   md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
   md.namespace ="http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
   md.Title = thumb.name;
   Window.alert ("Done " + i + " records");
There are also 3 other Adobe Library scripts that come with the download.
I know absolutely nothing about scripting, so baby-steps would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Change:
md.Title = thumb.name;
To:
md.Title = decodeURI(thumb.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

Aperture usage/feature request/ minor gripe (sorry!)/ question...

Hi all
Quick post to say I've been using aperture for all my photography for a good while probably the MOST annoying thing that I find as a heavy user (I do photojournalism stuff my last job for example yielded 1500 images) is the lack of a progress bar... I never thought I;d hear myself say this but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it so that I can tell how much more before an import/thumb/previews is due! so that's my request
Not sure if anyone else is using vault however for backing up here's my homebrew solution. I used the vault feature only to discover I can't do all the jolly things (like printing etc) of course having not backed up my images when I deleted the vault they were gone too.... (just a test shoot but nonetheless....)! Perhaps others have more joyous stories to tell about vault however if you're not happy maybe this'll help. I have an external drive which I use solely for backup the minute I bring a job in the images go in a folder called (project name)RAWbackup and then into aperture (effectively saving twice although you can reverse the order -aperture first and export next- I wouldn't reccomend it as you can mistakenly reduce the quality -by choosing to export > versions instead of masters). I found that as the months progressed my MackBook drive became clogged up which forced me to edit out a few images to start with and then more more... which means I now have a very good historical set which I can show and be assured the originals are backed up.
minor gripe predictive form text... defaults alphabetically in ascending order need to be in descending order to assist workflow. I presume other users use numbers/dates in IPTC i.e. I usually copyright in the following format --© (date) George Bitsanis-- which means all my image inputs default to 2004 (earliest image date I've imported) tedious really if it were descending it would default to 2009 and save the hassle.... also a way to control of be able to filter predictive texting i'e coming up with most used term first
and I'll finish off with a question ... is there a way to organize my projects other than alphabetically?
any comments would be great!
cheers

If you go to the "Window -> Show Activity" menu item, it will open up a floating, well, activity window. Is this not what you are looking for, in terms of a progress bar? (FYI, you can also open up the window by just clicking just to the right of the "red-eye" tool; there is an "invisible" button there that opens and closes the Activity window.
As for backups and vaulting, I just have two external 1 TB drives, that I alternate. Haven't run into any problems doing that.

What do you do with a group of random pics + general questions

I am a potential new user of iPhoto 6 and Mac. I have been reading through the hundreds of threads for iPhoto. I have a collection of over 12000 images (some on a pc, some on cd, and others on floppy). I have yet to get the entire catalog organized to date even with several attempts. I hope the Mac would solve all my troubles so I am holding off any further cataloging.
On to my question - I usually take random photos of my kids or outdoors or otherwise, along with a full larger set of photos from a day outing. The first few wouldnt be album criteria in and of themselves, but the full set would (i.e. Day at the Museum). I wonder how this type of shooting is handled as far as organizing with the roll/album features in iPhoto6.
Also, isn't anyone really concerned about the lack of IPTC support in iPhoto? I currently use Elements 4.0 and the Organizer is fantastic (although hated by others). I personally find it very useful to have all my photos saved in folders by import date. I cant grasp the idea of how to get roll# from this to import into iPhoto.
I would hope to find a Mac program that supports the use of photo captions and keywords. It doesnt appear that iPhoto is it. Is it? Does it also support PSD files? I am trying to understand the process on how the file copies/moves/edits files upon import too. It is hard to imagine the process when I dont have it yet (but may within a couple months)!
I am sure I have many more questions to come, but I'll start with this if someone would be so kind to give me information. I have hunted for specifics and find only very simple how to steps.

photobug:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
personally find it very useful to have all my photos saved in folders by import date.
iPhoto will create a roll for each folder imported and name that roll the same as the folder. However, the date on the roll may not match the capture date of your photos but instead reflect the latest modification date in the bunch. You can change the roll date so that it lists correctly chronologically.
iPhoto also supports Photoshop files, psd. You can also edit your photo from within iPhoto with PS. Just go into iPhoto's preferences General pane and select Photoshop in the Edit photo in: menu. Now when you double click on a photo PS will open it and you can edit. There is one caveat, however. If you edit a jpg file and create a layered image file or one that required the psd extension you must save it to the desktop and then import as a new file. Once imported as a psd file, you can edit it again without issue, layers or not.
If you're interested in maintaining your source files outside of iPhoto you can use iPhoto's alias method (see the Advanced section of iPhoto's preferences) and just have iPhoto use alias files instead of copying the full file into it's library folder system. This way you can have your source files on an external drive and only the library folder on your boot drive. I have 27G of photos on my second drive and a 1.7G library on my boot drive. If you have a laptop and want to take it traveling you'll be able to view thumbnails, create and delete albums, add comments and, with some aggravation, add keywords. You cannot do anything that will require the full image file, edit, slideshows, books, etc. Once the external HD is remounted the library will be fully functional again. I've create a Tutorial to assist users in converting over to the alias system. Good luck.

Writing IPTC Metadata to Masters

I know some of this has been discussed, but I've got a few more questions on the topic. To ensure my captions, keywords, and location information is always available no matter what cataloging software I use, I wish to write my IPTC metadata to the master images. Here are my concerns:
1) I have altered the Creator, Headline, Source, Caption, Keywords, Location, City, State/Province, and Country fields - I assume all of these will be written to the masters since they're IPTC standard? Are there length limits for these fields (that is, is there a risk that some will be truncated)? Are there any drawbacks to writing these tags to the masters? (I know many people here don't want their originals touched, but as long as it doesn't affect the quality of my jpegs, I'm fine with it.) Most of my recent photos have GPS metadata - I have not altered these, nor have I added location data to photos that didn't originally have them, so I'm assuming those fields wouldn't be affected?
2) Is there no IPTC-standard field for people shown in a photo? (I know Aperture/iPhoto's Faces is proprietary, and I'm guessing so is Adobe's People field in their XML metadata.) Should I then just assign people's names as keywords, or is there a better way? (This wouldn't be a problem, as relatively few of my photos have human subjects.)
3) I have a library of about 45,000 pictures, all of which (except for about 1400 movies) have had some piece of metadata altered. I've noticed Aperture starts to get slow after I've been working in it for a while - so, should I write the tags in stages, or should I just highlight all of them at one time and let it work? About how long should it take?
4) Finally, I've tested writing the tags to the masters on a few of them, and I've noticed the "date created" shown in the Finder gets changed to the current date and time - Does this mean the entire file was re-created? Would Time Machine have to then re-copy all of them? (My masters total 153 GB, so that might take a while to back up.)
I know this is a lot at once, but it was a fair amount of work to migrate from iPhoto to Aperture (even with Aperture's convenient import feature) since iPhoto's cataloging tools are different from the IPTC standard. I'm contemplating another migration, and I don't want to have to go through all that again.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks all... as I've been digging into this digital asset management concept for a few years now, and there's more to it than I could have imagined!
viskwal: That's about what I figured. Actually, tagging Faces as keywords will be easy for me since I already have a smart album for each person in Faces. (They're in folders by context - that is, classmate, coworker, family member, etc. - just in case, years down the road, I see a name and don't remember how I know that person.)
As for locations, I could go back and locate all my photos from before I had the GPS-equipped camera, but I haven't bothered, so I don't know how you'd save that data. I've also been shooting exclusively jpeg since it's got built-in metadata (and I don't do any post-processing), so I have no experience with RAW.
Michael Hobi: Thanks for the link - I think I'm ok as far as those lengths are concerned. (I have a few long names in the Location field, but that wasn't mentioned there.) As for the write time, that's actually about what I figured - it won't be instantaneous, but at least I'm reasonably sure it won't go on for days. (My original import from iPhoto took 17 hours!)

LR and IPTC fields

I have been running a photoblog at Digital-Photo for over 3 years now. I have noticed that ever since I have started to use Lightroom it gave me an added value of populating IPTC fields in Gallery 2 (web gallery I use). The IPTC seems to be very broad and I would like to understand how to use properly most if not all the fields within Lightroom.
My question/request for Lightroom developers: can we get some build in selectors for many of standard IPTC fields with descriptions, please? This way I would not have to spend hours each time I get a new "genre code" etc.
Here is a neutral and work safe example of what details show up for me: abstract photograph or an air vent
Is anyone else in the community use those codes beyond Caption, Keywords and Copyright, and if so what gally applicatation are you using?

IPTC legacy Contact - not imported by 3.4.1

Last year I tried out Aperture and found that it was able to see the 'IPTC legacy Contact' field. This is important for me, as it corresponds to the field "People" in the wonderful iView programme that I've been using for ever. It lists the people on my images. Recently when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, this old program stopped working however. And so I decided to buy a fresh Aperture, and import my pictures.
However: the new version of Aperture does not import the IPTC legacy Contact anymore!
This XMP:People field is equal to the IPTC:Contact (legacy) field, and in iView it is used to list the people on the image.
I've checked the jpeg file using exiftool to see if Aperture can write fields using 'Metadata'->'Write IPTC Metadata to original', or do the inverse with 'Metadata'->'Update from Original'. The result is:
-- Aperture can write the IPTC legacy Contact field
-- Aperture does not input the IPTC legacy Contact field
That means that the new Aperture 3.4.1 version cannot do what the older version did half a year ago??
Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
.. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
How soon it will be fixed? And will I then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
Another question: in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file, where either information in the file or in iView would 'win' in the merger. How should I do such an operation in Aperture?

Same here. I checked on my iMac and an MBP in Aperture 3.4.1, MacOS X 10,8.2, and I see the same. Aperture exports the legacy contacts field, but it does not show it in the versions when importing an image.
However, when I check the imported original/master image file, the IPTC field is not erased - the version just does not reflect the data stored in the legacy contacts field.
Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
.. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
Keywords? or do you mean IPTC tags? The keywords are a special kind of metadata tags, and I do not see the "faces" names in the Aperture keywords. In which tag do you see them?
if you want to use another IPTC field to store the Contact info, I'd recommend to copy your info to one of the metadata fieldds, that are not marked as "legacy". Any feature labelled "legacy" is likely not to be supported in the near future.
Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
I have not seen this bug reported before, and do not know of any list of known bugs.
How soon it will be fixed? And will I then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
Write a bug-report to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
They should be told, that users still depend on this legacy tag, otherwise the chances are slim that they will bother to fix it - the name "legacy" clearly indicates that this metadata tag is doomed and only supported for compatibility reasons.
Your imported originals/masters still have this field and carry the data - at least mine do - so you might consider to write an Automator service to access them with a shell script using exiftool.
But it might be easier in the long run to simply copy these data to a different tag that is still supported.
in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file
Aperture keeps the data you enter in the versions. Also, when you import an image file, the tags should be copied to the version. When you edit the tags and want to add these changes to the original file, you can use the command "Metadata > Write IPTC Metadata to Original". That will write your changes to the original file, but not merge the data.
Just some thoughts - sorry that I do not have a solution for your problem

Missing IPTC Fields In Aperture 2

Okay, I am switching from Lightroom to Aperture 2 after using Lightroom for roughly one year. Let me back up... I am trying to switch. Right off the bat, I am running into a problem that really has me perplexed... why on earth did Apple leave out certain IPTC fields, but leave in fields that are completely (at least in my humble opinion) useless to photography. Which fields? These are left out:
- CCI City *
- CCI Country *
- CCI Address *
- CCI Postal Code *
- CCI State/Province *
- CCI Email *
- CCI Phone *
- CCI URL *
- ISO Country Code *
- Intellectual Genre
- Location *
- Rights Usage Terms *
- IPTC Subject Code
- IPTC Scene
Most of these, marked with an asterisk, are crucial to me, and are necessary when sending images to certain clients of mine. In the meantime, Apple, for some bizarre reason, chose to include the following, useless fields:
- Action Advised
- Audio Duration
- Audio Outcue
- Audio Sampling Rate
- Audio Sampling Re... (can't read this one because Aperture refuses to show me the whole field name no matter how wide I make the metadata panel)
- Audio Type
This makes absolutely no sense to me, and I see no convenient way to get around this. This is compounded by the fact that IPTC seems to be transitioning to Core (XMP) standards, which means the field names are changed. Aperture is on version 2, and yet the IPTC support is this behind the times?
I hope someone has some good news to help rectify this.

I just fired up Aperture 2 after reading your Post, and I see this for one of my images:
Lens Model: EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM
It is under EXIF - Expanded under the Metadata tab. Do you not see this?
No, I didn't at first. First off - it does not show up at all in images I imported under 1.x and have not migrated to 2.0 version of RAW processing. Then - I see additional data under EXIF with new imports under Aperture 2.0 and images with updated RAW processors - but still not lens model. However, I then edited EXIF and found lens model. I simply added that field to my EXIF metadata, and now I can see (and search on) lens model for all of my images!
Thanks for pointing that out - no telling how long it would have been before I found it. Its a shame this isn't a question I posted, or I would give the "solved" points.
Now, if we can just find your metadata fields...

Can you explain Library and can I change the IPTC names

I am new to Aperture and these are probably two dumb questions:
1) If I open up Library in the interface I get these nine sub-library folders:
a) ***
b) * or better
c) rejected
d) In the last week
e) In the last month
f) 2006
g) 2005
h) 2004
i) All Images
I know that if I choose 2006, 2005, or 2004 I will see images mostly from those years and if I choose all images I see them all. I am confused as to why I don't have a 2003, 2002 etc folders as I have images from those years.
Are these sub folders defaulted or did I somehow create them and will other years be created by default (if so how and when)?
I don't understand what the folders are for, what there benefit is, and what if any control I have over them. I cannot delete them.
The project and album folders seem to be the ones that I can "control" and will be where I do my work. If anyone has the time to explain or tell me where to find the answers I would appreciate it.
Second Question is about Aperture's IPTC names. I have found the utility program, Annoture, that will move IPTC entries from IVIEW to Aperture. However the names to not match up-- for example-- an entry into IPTC field "city" in IVIEW becomes "sub location" in Aperture and an entry in "event" in IVIEW becomes "fixture identifier" in Aperture.
Is there a way to change the IPTC names?
As I said these are probably the dumb questions of a neophyte, but any help to either answer them or where to go to fine the answers would be appreciated.
Dan

I mark it as answered as no one has answered it in several weeks and needs to get off the open list

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.

Importing .xmp sidecar file doesn't populate IPTC info??

Good evening everyone. I've been trying to import .xmp files alongside some of my old movies to save me from having to retype the IPTC info such as location, etc. I have a folder which contains the .mov file I want to import, along with the .xmp file of the exact same name. I thought this was automatic (at least from my perspective), put I guess not? The .mov file imports just fine, but Aperture doesn't seem to populate any of the metadata fields with any info from the .xmp file. I've tried this with different videos/xmp sidecar files with no luck. Am I stuck re-entering all the metadata by hand? I really don't have much info, but I have several hundred files I'm trying to re-import, so it could be a long week. In case it helps, here's the xmp sidecar file that was created when I used iView Media Pro software pre-Aperture:
Thank you!!

The Photoshop and/or Bridge forums would be more likely places to get answers to your questions. This forum is inhabited more by programmer types interested in implementing the XMP specification in applications we write.
I'd expect CS2 to ignore CS1 panels so I doubt that's the issue. Panels don't interfere with each other--they just offer different views of the data. In any case, move the extra panels to your desktop and see what happens.
As far as I know, all you need to do on the Mac is drag the CS1 application folder to the trash to uninstall it.

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
