John Moran 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 As a followup to other threads, I became interested in the concept of storing Exhibit Captions and Keywords within original image files - in addition to within TMG Exhibit Albums. Experimentation with a few Photo Editors, including current versions of ACDSee (trial), MS PictureIt!, Win XP Explorer, Irfanview, Adobe "Starter Album" (trial) and my ancient version of PhotoImpact 6 gave indications that there was no real standard for data field inclusion in Jpgs. Yes, I had read of Adobe Photoshop and CS Suite metadata inputs on Photography forums, but I did not have those Apps to experiment with. Even then, I had read of changes in field locations with nearly every version of "big" Adobe Photoshop. It did not appear that many users of Photoshop Elements even bothered with this feature, if it existed in that app. Yesterday I ran across an application called Pixvue. It is not a photo editor, although it will rotate jpgs. It is instead an imbellishment of Windows 98, 2000, and XP Explorer that permits adding metadata to jpogs and other image files in accordance with the latest XMP spec promulgated by Adobe. My experiments have been minimal, but it looks like a winner. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/and...-metadata_x.htm http://www.pixvue.com/ John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
