Cannot see IPTC info in this picture

[hilmartor]

Hi Kirk,

I was shooting for Gettys and got a sent a picture with IPTC info to fill in. I cannot see any info (cmd+i) in PM (4.5.2 mac) but Fotostation shows the IPTC caption (cmd + t). Here is the picture, can you figure out what (probably me) is wrong.

Cheers

Hilmar,

I was shooting for Gettys and got a sent a picture with IPTC info to fill in. I cannot see any info (cmd+i) in PM (4.5.2 mac) but Fotostation shows the IPTC caption (cmd + t). Here is the picture, can you figure out what (probably me) is wrong.

I can see the IPTC info just fine:

HVOLSVOELLUR , NORWAY  - JUNE 30 :  xxx passes the ball during the U16 Nordic Cup match between Norway and Germany at the xxx stadium  on June 30, 2008 in Hvolsvoellur, Iceland. (Photo by Bongarts/Getty Images for DFB)

Though I must say that there is a lot of other 'junk' that Fotostation has put into the file that I wouldn't expect to see there.

Do your IPTC/XMP preferences have JPEGs reading embedded XMP first?

My settings

Try changing the "For JPEG, TIFF, PSD, DNG photos:" popup menu to "Read embedded XMP before IPTC"

Still nothing after changing it.

Still nothing after changing it.

You're bringing up the IPTC Stationery Pad which has nothing to do with the IPTC information for a given file.  It is used to apply data to a group of photos in a batch.

Instead bring up the IPTC Info dialog by clicking on the 'i' button that appears when you move your mouse cursor over the image.

HTH,
