Can someone give me a code example of using ExifTool to set data into these IPTC Contact fields as they appear in Photoshop?

Simply cannot find a way to do it using FileMaker Troi File Plugin or Applescript...

BTW These are NOT the same as the City etc  IPTC Origin fields...

I don't see that these fields are in the current IPTC tag list here on ExifTool and also don't see that they have IIM numeric identifiers...

Please see screengrab for reference...

Help!

Take a look at this post.  That is the details for LightRoom 4.4, but odds are the results would be similar.

Otherwise, this would be FAQ #3.  Take a test image, set the values in Photoshop, then use the command in FAQ #3 to see where the values were written.

Or download the zip file in this post which contains an image with over 1,000 metadata entries and load that into Photoshop.  Most of the entries will display the name of the tag that is read.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

OK StarGeek looks like those are actually XMP fields and I DO see then translated into tags on your "Program Metadata to TAG translation" post...

Just so I don't mess anything up can you possibly post a simple ExifTool command that would write data into one of those fields such as

XMP:CreatorAddress

?

THX!

exiftool -XMP:CreatorAddress=kswaha file.jpg

This command creates backup files.  Add -Overwrite_Original to suppress the creation of backup files.  Add -r to recurse into subdirectories.
