Loading metadata via iptc core using Bridge

I've noticed that after loading metadata into photos opened in PS (cs5) that when checking the "file info" for that photo, the metadata isn't showing up. Wonder what I should do differently?

Does checking the "apply" check mark actually SAVE the photo with the newly applied metadata?
It took me a while to understand your workflow but you seem to use the metadata workspace and with apply you mean the tiny green checkmark icon bottom right in the metadata panel, which is not the same as a template btw, you can create a template with basic info using the little menu icon top right in the metadata panel. Changing this template every time would not be needed if you use the panel itself on multiple selected files.
You can either choose to add the template upon import using Photodownloader or select the files and choose add template from the same drop down menu top right of the panel.
Then you can use the fields in the panel itself to add extra data (besides the basic copyright info e.g added with the template) for the selected files in one go or select a given number that needs other info.
I never used it that way before but yes, when having filled all the wanted fields with your custom data you can indeed use the green checkmark and this should save the info to the files that are selected.
You have to have read and write permissions and the files shouldn't be locked.
But instead of the tiny icon in the metadata workspace (to my opinion a next to useless default workspace that can't be altered the way it should be possible) I always use my custom workspace (large preview, large content panel with larger thumbs, a column with folders, filter collections and favorites and a metadata panel with IPTC core in view) and after having filled the lines I want I hit the enter key to save the changes.
As said, only the selected files are saved with the data and you have to wait for the activity bar (bottom left) to finish the job before starting a new one because sometimes this causes half of the the files not being saved with the correct and complete info.

DIM: how to load metadata to Essbase without using rule files

Hi,
The Essbase adapter has been installed in the informatica PowerCenter (v8.1.1). We want to create a Essbase target definition to load metadata. In the Table Creation Wizard, we select Table Type: Dynamic dimension building (Type 3), but it needs to specify Rules file in the Column Creation Wizard.
Any method to load metadata into Essbase without using Rules file?
Thank you in advance.

You could load the data into Essbase without Rule file by means of free form loading which the Datasource would be a file.

Loading metadata into EPMA applications using Interface tables-Automation

Hi,
I am loading the metadata into epma applications using interface tables as ODI dont perit to load metadata into epma applications. Is there any way of using ODI and interface tables together to load the metadata
This process also need to be automated.

Hi,
It is certainly possible and has be done, though there is not anything available that will do it for you, you will have to put in some effort learning the structure of the interface tables, then build interfaces and then a package in ODI to streamline the process.

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.

Problem loading metadata from ODI to HFM ( Error code: 0x80040154 [Class...

Hi Experts
I have an issue when I load metadata via ODI to HFM. I get this message:
Error code: 0x80040154 [Class not registered
com.hyperion.odi.common.ODIHAppException: Metadata load failed. Error code: 0x80040154 [Class not registered
After some search on the net I see that this is due to a patch which is already been installed(ODI 10.1.3.5.5). The HFMDriver.dll is renamed as HFMDriver32.dll and HFMDriver64.dll rename as HFMDriver.dll.
Patch 9377717: ORACLE DATA INTEGRATOR 10.1.3.6.0 PATCH
1. I have reversed the HFM application TestApp into target for ODI and everything seems fine in the operator
2. I have created a simple source flat file for the Account dimension
3. I have created an interface to the Account dim. and verified the mapping with no errors
4. The process stops when trying to Load the Metadata to HFM(Step 5 / of 7)
5. When I search the log I see the Error code: 0x80040154 [Class not registered]
Does anyone have any idea why the interface does not load the metadata?

This instructions given us by the support have fixed the problem on the first topic.
1. Unregister the adapter by opening the command prompt and changing the path to
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ RegSvcs.exe /u C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\SharedComponents\AdapterComponents\fdmAdapterCOMadmin\fdmAdapterCOMadmin.dll
and:
RegSvcs.exe /u C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\SharedComponents\AdapterComponents\fdmFM11xG5C\fdmFM11xG5C.dll
Please verify the correct path to the dll's before proceeding
2. Re-register the adapter using the 64 bit version of RegSvcs, C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\RegSvcs.exe <PathToDLL> i.e. ..\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\SharedComponents\AdapterComponents\fdmFM11xG5C\fdmFM11xG5C.dll
N.B. Do not re-register the ComAdmin.dll because that is not a 64 bit component.
4. Open the FDM workbench and configure the adapter by right clicking the adapter -> Configure and re-entering the username and password.
Regards.

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:

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?

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

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.

Display the filed instructions (that´s under IPTC Core metadata).

Hi all
I´m new on programing scripts in Photoshop..and tried everything but was not able to change the script below. Let´s explain this script is found at Adobe Photoshop default folder and works to show the Camera Model used to the current image.
Now..the challenge...I want to change the scripts so when you run the it shows a field called Instructions (that´s located in the IPTC Core XMP metadata Tab. (In Photoshop > open an Image > go to File menu > File Info option and see the IPTC Core Tab > Instruction field).
Can anyone please help me to change this lines. It could look very simple for you but it´s actually very difficult to me; This base-script is what I have and works fine to display the camera model:
try {
     var xmpString = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData.toString();
     var tiffModelLength = ('<tiff:Model>').length;
     var tiffModel = xmpString.search( '<tiff:Model>' );
     var tiffModelEnd = xmpString.search( '</tiff:Model>' );
     var tiffModelStr = xmpString.substr( tiffModel + tiffModelLength, tiffModelEnd - tiffModel - tiffModelLength );
     if ( tiffModelStr.length > 0 ) {
          alert( tiffModelStr + localize ( '$$$' ) );
     // check the exif
     var exifModelStr = '';
     var exifData = activeDocument.info.exif;
     for ( var i = 0; i < exifData.length; i++ ) {
          if ( exifData[i][0] == 'Model' ) {
} // try end
catch( e ) {
// always wrap your script with try/catch blocks so you don't stop production
// remove comments below to see error for debugging
// alert( e );
Thank you a lot for any help.
Gustavo.

Here is one of X's functions that should give you the information..
#target photoshop
var xmp = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
var Instructions = parseMetadata(xmp,"photoshop:Instructions");
alert(Instructions);
function parseMetadata(xmp, tag) {
var re = new RegExp('<' + tag + '>(.+)</' + tag + '>');
var m = xmp.match(re);
if (!m) {
    re = new RegExp("<[^:]+:" + tag + ">(.+)</[^:]+:" + tag + '>');
    m = this.xmp.match(re);
return (m ? m[1] : '');

Note the last paragraph in the original post which explains how Flickr handles resolution changes without breaking the rectangles. Perhaps a more straightforward approach would be to store both the rectangle coordinates for each rectangle AND the image's width and height at the time the rectangles were created. Then if the image is scaled, the rectangles can be scaled accordingly. For example, if a rectangle is at x=100,y=200,w=50,h=70, the "original dimensions" are 1000x2000, and the image's current dimensions are 500x1000, then an application could assume the image has been scaled down by (500/1000=) 0.50, and so the x,y,w,h of each rectangle could also be multiplied by 0.50 (x=50,y=100,w=25,h=35). I'd recommend storing floating-point values so that multiple scalings don't make the rectangles "creep".
Of course, it is possible that really the image was cropped rather than scaled, but fairly unlikely you would happen to crop it the same percent in both directions. Even if an image is cropped, someone could manually repair the rectangles by sliding and scaling them until the fit back on the faces (unless most of the faces were cropped off).
A rectangle-aware application could scale and translate the rectangles during a crop or scaling operation, but other applications could still survive scaling if they at least preserve the XMP tags as-is.
