Can you please tell me what the default IPTC Encoding should be set at, in the Preferences> IPTC/XMP tab?
Mine has been set to Mac Roman and the write in Unicode is not checked.
I have started using PM PC version 4.5.2 to do my IPTC data for my Tiff files, however when I upload the images to my stock agent Corbis, they are rejecting the images do to errors in the IPTC data fields.
I was doing this in Photoshop CS before had no problems, and now with PM the info is showing up in the PS file info window all correct.
Unless you're using accented characters, the encoding makes no difference. What errors are Corbis reporting? What OS are you running?
