Title: IPTC info dissapears in photoshop
Post by: pedroparamo on September 02, 2010, 11:06:49 AM

I'm writing IPTC info to my files and all is well until I write to the 'author' or 'creator' fields. When I do that all the other info 'keywords', 'caption abstract', 'ImageDescription' etc. become invisible to Photoshop. I can read them in exifTool but not in Photoshop. Any suggestions? I need them to be visible in Photoshop in order for my DAM to read them.

thanks.

Pedro

Hi Pedro,

For maximum compatibility with other software, you should write the MWG tags (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/MWG.html).

so if i'm using a shell script such as

do shell script "exiftool '-creator=Pedro Paramo' '/Users/Pedro/Desktop/22222/labeled JPEGs/22222-01.JPG'"

how would I load the module? I've tried all the obvious ways--sorry I'm not super adept in the Terminal enviro...

Thanks.
