Nikon D3x and IPTC Data

[wallacehill]

I am running Photo Mechanic version 4.6.4 running on a Windows 7 PC.

Acquired a Nikon D3x recently and when the copyright data is activated in camera, it is not being read with Photo Mechanic when the images are displayed. Also use Photoshop CS5 and data is displayed correctly with that software.

I also have a D3s and there is NO problem with Photo Mechanic reading data from that camera.

Any idea what the problem could be ?

The copyright and artist/photographer data really belong in the IPTC Copyright and Photographer fields.  We're adding an {artist} and a {tiffcopyright} variable that will allow you to extract this information from your camera's photos.  These new variables will appear in the 4.6.4.1 release.

Hi
How is it that Photo Mechanic reads the Copyright Data that I have input in the 'D3s' and not the 'D3x'.

It's stored differently on the D3x and PM has to be updated to account for this difference.
