I'm going to add this into an applescript, but I just need to know how to form this?
I want to add the caption/description writer as "Matt_thats_me" to it without effecting anything else in the file.
the file is call image 1 and is on the desktop.
How would i write this in terminal?
Please
The command looks like this (assuming that it is the XMP-photoshop:CaptionWriter tag that you want to write -- if it isn't, see FAQs 2 and 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html)):
exiftool -captionwriter="Matt_thats_me" ~/Desktop/"image 1.jpg"
Here I have assumed that the image has extension ".jpg".

Excellent, many thanks!
Any reason why it leaves a duplicate on the desktop? Can that be removed from within terminal?
By default, ExifTool creates a "_original" backup of the file. You can add the -overwrite_original option to the command line if you don't want this.
