How can I add dublin core metadata fields in a picture?

[Margari]

Hello, I need to add dublin core metadata in a set of images, but I´m not expert with the computer... so could someone suggest me an easy way to add new metadata fields?
I tried to install ExifTool Gui but I work with mac and didn´t get to install it properly... Do you know if it is necessary to use it with Windows?
Thank you for your help :-)

Hi Margari,

I suggest using Adobe bridge or something like that if you want to add metadata using a GUI on the Mac.

Hi Margari,

If you don't have access to Adobe Bridge and if you are after a Mac OS GUI, try this:

https://hvdwolf.github.io/pyExifToolGUI/

EDIT: On the Preferences tab, you will need to enter the path to ExifTool, for Mac users the default install location is generally:
/usr/local/bin/exiftool


If you wish to or are willing to learn how to do this via command line input in Terminal.app you are at the right forum!

If you don't have access to Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge is free.  http://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html

Indeed it is StarGeek – however it requires jumping through some hoops to download (Q&A, Adobe ID, Adobe CC app etc), so it is not as accessible as pyExifToolGUI. It is also limited without Photoshop/Camera Raw (which are not free), however it does allow one add/remove metadata as the OP wishes to do.

Thank you for your help, but at last, I decided to put ExifTool and ExifTool GUI in Windows. It works very well, but I have a problem to define Dublin Core metadata, maybe you can help me....
I am creating a new Workspace, and I defined several fields, but the system doesn´t understand them.... Please, could you tell me how can I define the tags? Are there any option to do that directly from ExifTool GUI?
I am putting tags like: "DC:Title"....
Thank you for your help!!!!!!
Best regards

Hi Margari,

I can't help much, but I can point you to the documentation in case you haven't seen it.

The Dublin Core are all XMP data, so they will lead with XMP:.  The tag names for the most part are the same as what names you would see in other programs, with some exceptions, such as XMP:Subject which is usually called keywords in other programs.

StarGeek: Thanks!  I missed the "DC:".  Glad someone was paying attention.
