Import IPTC data from CSV to TIF

[dinf]

When I try to import IPTC data to a group of TIFs, only the last tag(Creator) is written.  Here is some sample output from running the command with the -v2 flag.

And here is the line from the csv:

What am I missing?  Thanks.

There is no IPTC tag called "Creator".  And your date is formatted incorrectly.

Since you think only Creator is being written, I think you may want to write XMP, not IPTC.  See the XMP tags documentation for a list of available XMP tags.  Prefix the tag names in the first row of the CSV with "XMP:" to write the XMP tags.
