How to add an IPTC data field?
« on: February 25, 2015, 09:46:07 AM »
I would like to add an IPTC data field to my captions.

How do I do that?

I am using PM v.4.5.4

Cheers,

You mean that you want to add a custom field that is for your own use, or fill in one of the already existing (standard) fields?

Sure, use the Keywords field.

Perhaps if you could give me more background information on what you're trying to accomplish, then I could be more helpful.  Your version of Photo Mechanic is sorely out of date and is missing more than a dozen new fields that were added in version 5 of Photo Mechanic.

Here is documentation on what version 5 offers:
