Hello, I need to add dublin core metadata in a set of images, but I´m not expert with the computer... so could someone suggest me an easy way to add new metadata fields?
I tried to install ExifTool Gui but I work with mac and didn´t get to install it properly... Do you know if it is necessary to use it with Windows?
Thank you for your help :-)

Hi Margari,
I suggest using Adobe bridge or something like that if you want to add metadata using a GUI on the Mac.

Hi Margari,
If you don't have access to Adobe Bridge and if you are after a Mac OS GUI, try this:
https://hvdwolf.github.io/pyExifToolGUI/
EDIT: On the Preferences tab, you will need to enter the path to ExifTool, for Mac users the default install location is generally:
/usr/local/bin/exiftool
If you wish to or are willing to learn how to do this via command line input in Terminal.app you are at the right forum!
I like this one: http://fastphototagger.sourceforge.net/about.html

Adobe Bridge is free. http://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html
Indeed it is StarGeek – however it requires jumping through some hoops to download (Q&A, Adobe ID, Adobe CC app etc), so it is not as accessible as pyExifToolGUI. It is also limited without Photoshop/Camera Raw (which are not free), however it does allow one add/remove metadata as the OP wishes to do.
Thank you for your help, but at last, I decided to put ExifTool and ExifTool GUI in Windows. It works very well, but I have a problem to define Dublin Core metadata, maybe you can help me....
I am creating a new Workspace, and I defined several fields, but the system doesn´t understand them.... Please, could you tell me how can I define the tags? Are there any option to do that directly from ExifTool GUI?
I am putting tags like: "DC:Title"....
Thank you for your help!!!!!!
Best regards
Hi Margari,
I can't help much, but I can point you to the documentation (https://exiftool.org/gui/#m_workspace) in case you haven't seen it.

The Dublin Core are all XMP data, so they will lead with XMP:. The tag names for the most part are the same as what names you would see in other programs, with some exceptions, such as XMP:Subject which is usually called keywords in other programs.

StarGeek: Thanks! I missed the "DC:". Glad someone was paying attention. ;)
