I guess that I managed to get my whole question in the title!

How do I render the Event ID field from Adobe applications in Photo Mechanic.

This isn't the Event field but something different. In File>File Info in Photoshop it shows up in the IPTC Extension / Description of the Image section.

Any ideas?

Neil,

How is it expressed in XMP?  Please post a sample.

And what do you mean by 'render'?

Thanks,

-Kirk

When you look at the IPTC.org list of fields it is 11.12 Event Identifier and they show Iptc4xmpExt:EventId as the code.

https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata#event-identifier

By render I mean show or display. I have been through any and every variable that I can think of but cannot see anything. For example if someone uses this field in Adobe Bridge or as File Info in Photoshop I'd like to be able to read it in Photo Mechanic and equally write it in Photo Mechanic and it be able to be read in Bridge.

Neil,

PM does not currently track, edit, or display that field at this time.
