settings of PM of IPTC fields for upload to Photoshelter

[gianca49]

I am quite confused with the settings of PM for the IPTC fields which should go together with the images to Photoshelter.
I followed directions of Kirk on another topic an made the settings for IPTC4XMP but I am still confused what are the settings to upload correctly all my IPTC fields to photoshelter.
settings PM :
> add IPTC NAA Resources
> add imbedded iptc4xmp

do I need to have all these xmp files on my disk??
I use PM 4.6.2.1, Aperture 2.1.4 on a MacBook Pro

thanks for help

PhotoShelter will not receive "IPTC NAA Resources" so that setting is unimportant.
If you're working with XMP sidecar files then keeping them is important.

What kind of files are you uploading to PhotoShelter?

thank you for your quick answer.

I upload to photoshelter mostly jpg, sometimes psd
in general I use PM, only when I have to make corrections on white balance and lighting I  use aperture and sometimes photoshop.

sometimes it happens that in spite of seeing all usual iptc fields filled with the information, the second part of the photographer data like email and address etc are not appearing in photoshelter.
so I am not sure if my settings are correct in PM.
do I need to stay with xmp ? in future. is this better ?

I appreciate very much the new features now in PM to upload to photoshelter > like creating directly inside PM a folder on photoshelter. this speeds up a lot.

ps: I have proposed PM to our local newspaper... so first they will try PM then buy...

thanks for your answer

You'll definitely need to embed XMP into your JPEG, TIFF, PSD, and DNG files then.  If you'll notice that the fields you listed have an "*" by them, indicating that they will only be saved in XMP data.  So make sure you embed XMP.

XMP is the preferred format for saving all of the data.
