I have a spread sheet with thousands of item numbers in column A and the items description in column B, The item number in column A has an .jpg image associated with it.

I need to add the description into the exif or iptc data of the corresponding image.

Can this be done with exiftool?
If so how.



Thanks for your help!

I did find a solution to this. I used Adobe Bridge along with this plugin.

I was able to change almost all the IPTC and exif data.
