Move the content of "Keywords" into "Caption" ?
« on: March 30, 2009, 09:31:02 AM »
Hi,
is there a way to move the content of the "keywords" field into the "Caption" field by batch? I have to edit 220 pics...

Thanks and best regards
Christian

Christian,

Yes.  Select the 220 photos.  Then use the IPTC Stationery Pad.  In the Caption field enter: {caption} {keywords}
Uncheck any fields you don't want changed.
And then Apply the IPTC Stationery Pad to Selected.

That should do it.

Thanks!
I put {keywords} into "caption" to move the data. Then I uses the IPTC Pad to replace the old keywords with the new ones.
After that, I used "find and replace" to replace the "," with spaces.
Everything is fine.

Thanks!
