Hi,

I want to set iptc tags for all cr2 and jpg files in a folder and underlying subfolders.

creator, country, email, weburl, copyright notice and creditline.

startfolder is "d:\photos 2018"

Kind Regards,
w.

First, you have to figure out if you want to use the old IPTC IIM format, or XMP.  See FAQ 2 and 3 for help with this.

Then, the command is simple (once you know what tags you want to write):

exiftool -TAG1="value" -TAG2="value" ... -r "d:\photos 2018"

...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 ($).
