IPTC prefrence setting - very confused
« on: March 16, 2014, 01:30:59 AM »
Hello;

I am having difficulty understanding the V5 IPTC preferences menu.

I have uploaded a copy of my old preferences which worked well.

What should I set these settings to in V5 ?

I am concerned about the writing side - should I check "add embedded metadata" and "always create sidecar file" ?

Thank you,   WilloW

Willow,

Perhaps the quickest for you to do here (and get a good set of settings) is to click the lightning bolt in the preferences window and then choose the suggested settings for your type of workflow.

Hope this helps,
Hayo

Thanks Hayo - will do as you suggest until I learn further about the features and how they differ from the older PM.   WilloW
