Icelandic letters incorrect in IPTC info

[hilmartor]

I see that the Icelandic letters do not come right in the IPTC info field. I attached the IPTC as it came from a Fotostation/PC and also how it should be.

Are Icelandic letters not supported? Or maybe not from other apps.

Any thoughts?

You need to change the Default IPTC Encoding from Mac Roman to something more appropriate to your language.  Open the Preferences dialog, click on the IPTC/XMP tab and change the "Default IPTC Encoding:" popup menu from Mac Roman to Mac Icelandic.  Then give it a try.  If that doesn't work, experiment with the encodings, or use Unicode as your encoding.

Thanks,

Latin10Scandenavian seems to be doing the trick.

Are you working with already captioned images?
What OS are you running?
What character encoding do the other people you work with use?
What does it mean when you say "some of the pictures are correct if I sen 9 images 3 fail"?  What is the method by which you are sending images?

I send the pictures with the built in FTP or send them by mail. If i send 9 images 6 images has the right caption 3 images has strange letters so if the editor search by my name they onnly find 6 images instead of 9.

Prior to the 4.5 version the encoding was always Mac Roman.  If older versions of PM worked properly for you before, then you should set the encoding in 4.5.x to Mac Roman and turn off the Write IPTC as Unicode checkbox.

My default IPTC encoding is Mac Roman.  Write as Unicode is turned off.

I opened up your files.  I see where the ö and Ö are coming out incorrect.  I changed the characters back to ö and Ö where necessary and saved the changes.  I then reopened the IPTC Info on the file and it was still correct.

How is it that you are getting the incorrect characters to occur?

Ok It´s the same for me, but when I send the images with FTP "Photo Mechanic"  the IPTC info changes aspecially If I send many pictures

Are you applying an IPTC Stationery Pad during the upload?

-Kirk

[Roger Vikstrom]

Yes but only Photographer and credit Expressen the image text I´m aplying after

[Kirk Baker]

OK, so if you were to apply that same IPTC Stationery Pad to images in the Contact Sheet window, would their characters come out OK?  Do those fields look OK in the IPTC Stationery Pad dialog itself?

-Kirk

[Roger Vikstrom]

yes thats correct all seems to look god but when I seend the images something happens, all images I have send today is ok so maybee It`s something wrong in the other end " The reciever" I dont know what do you think?
