Cannot see IPTC info in this picture
« on: July 02, 2008, 07:06:08 AM »
Hi Kirk,

I was shooting for Gettys and got a sent a picture with IPTC info to fill in. I cannot see any info (cmd+i) in PM (4.5.2 mac) but Fotostation shows the IPTC caption (cmd + t). Here is the picture, can you figure out what (probably me) is wrong.

Cheers

Hilmar,

I was shooting for Gettys and got a sent a picture with IPTC info to fill in. I cannot see any info (cmd+i) in PM (4.5.2 mac) but Fotostation shows the IPTC caption (cmd + t). Here is the picture, can you figure out what (probably me) is wrong.

I can see the IPTC info just fine:

HVOLSVOELLUR , NORWAY  - JUNE 30 :  xxx passes the ball during the U16 Nordic Cup match between Norway and Germany at the xxx stadium  on June 30, 2008 in Hvolsvoellur, Iceland. (Photo by Bongarts/Getty Images for DFB)

Though I must say that there is a lot of other 'junk' that Fotostation has put into the file that I wouldn't expect to see there.

Do your IPTC/XMP preferences have JPEGs reading embedded XMP first?

My settings

Try changing the "For JPEG, TIFF, PSD, DNG photos:" popup menu to "Read embedded XMP before IPTC"

Still nothing after changing it.

You're bringing up the IPTC Stationery Pad which has nothing to do with the IPTC information for a given file.  It is used to apply data to a group of photos in a batch.

Instead bring up the IPTC Info dialog by clicking on the 'i' button that appears when you move your mouse cursor over the image.

HTH,

-Kirk
