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.

Hi Pedro,

For maximum compatibility with other software, you should write the MWG tags.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

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.
