Caption with swedish characters on Mac os X

[Javaprogrammer]

Hi,

I'm trying to write caption with swedish characters

exiftool  -Caption-Abstract="testing ÅÄÖ"  /Users/Mathias/Desktop/gmedia/2011/10/14/2956/2410_Hub_SIL-3.jpg
exiftool -charset UTF8  -Caption-Abstract="testing ÅÄÖ"  /Users/Mathias/Desktop/gmedia/2011/10/14/2956/2410_Hub_SIL-3.jpg

Mac OSX 10.6.7
Exif version: 8.64

When doing this ÅÄÖ is displayed ≈ƒ÷ in Photoshop. Is this photoshop issue or Exif? Any pointers to get this to work?

If it is a recent version of Photoshop it should recognize UTF8-encoded IPTC, but you must set the IPTC CodedCharacterSet tag appropriately.

See FAQ number 10 for details.

Thanks Phil,

I've added -codedcharacterset=utf8 when writing the caption and it works fine.
