Hi All,

We work with european companies, so very often IPTC fields contain accentuated characters.
Our server is a windows machine.
Is there a way to know if the content of IPTC are filled onto MacOS or Windows or linux?

Thanks for your help

This is mentioned in
FAQ #10.
Basically, what you need to do is look at the IPTC CodedCharacterSet tag to
determine which character sets are used in the IPTC information.  For details,
you will need to read the
IPTC specification.

I hope this helps.

Yes, this helpfull
But if the IPTC CodedCharacterSet tag is not set?
This the case when IPTC is writing with Adobe Photoshop

Hi Didier,

Hmmm.  Good question.  This is something to ask Adobe.  They actually
write different coded character sets from different platforms without
specifying a CodedCharacterSet tag?  I didn't realize this.  Sounds like a
Photoshop bug to me

As you may have realized, this is a bit of a weakness in the IPTC
specification.
