I do not know if this is in any way relevant, but I thought I would mention it in case it is: That's why you don't see it when you save/export. The crucial metadata appears to have been deleted, although my newly created IPTC Credit field is visible in ExifTool.Īt present, there is a problem reading the Caption-Abstract IIM field in the first place. The 'Description' metadata is now missing from "More info", and the corresponding 'Caption-Abstract' tag is also missing when the file is run through ExifTool. (the "Description" information is also displayed as "Caption-Abstract" in ExifTool.)Īfter populating the IPTC Credit field in Affinity Photo: If I open the image in Affinity Photo and populate the IPTC Credit field, then save and close the image, the Caption Abstract field is no longer visible when the image is run through Exiftool, or (as "Description") in the MacOS Finder information panel:Ī few screenshots to illustrate. In testing, I believe I've found that populating any of the IPTC Core fields in Affinity Photo (eg adding a Credit) has the effect of deleting pre-existing IPTC fields in the image.įor example, the OP's uploaded image has " 1954 Chevolet Power Blue White top, White leather, Powerglide" in the IPTC Caption Abstract field (readable with ExifTool). Naming differences don't by-and-large affect whether we can import/export metadata fields though. While there are some naming/terminology differences to some other software, this is somewhat unavoidable with all the variations out there in the world of metadata, and we've tried to find a balance between common sense and following the standards there. The submitted image file has no Camera maker/model metadata, nor tags or keywords. It looks like the IIM->XMP step may not be happening properly here. ExifTool also does not seem to perform this step when it emits XMP this surprises me for your report I'll take a look at whether we can do a bit better with the output of Picasa. (The Windows "Properties" dialog is capable of populating from the latter it amalgamates from a few different data sources for that dialog.) XMP is used internally (mostly). Per the standard, IIM Caption/Abstract should be turned into XMP IptcCore.Description, then can become XMP dc:description for export. I may be some Photo does support the IPTC Core fields, both in their original IIM guise and when given in the XMP IptcCore namespace. The fastest and most powerful is the command-line metadata editor ExifTool (Windows and Mac).ĮxifTool has a very steep learning curve, but I think it would do the job. I'm going to give it a try with the image you uploaded. Unless and until Serif add full (rather than limited) IPTC metadata display to Affinity Photo, one possible workround would be to use a dedicated metadata editor to copy the metadata from the Caption-Abstract field to one of the IPTC fields that Photo does display (possibly Scenes?) It can be displayed and edited in other applications: for example Photoshop (which if memory serves can display full IPTC caption information) and Photo Supreme: And it has nothing to do with the fact that the original image is a. It doesn't appear in the default "EXIF" section of the Metadata Panel along with Camera, Date Taken etc because it's not part of the image's EXIF metadata. But for whatever reason, Affinity Photo does not display this particular field, even in the IPTC section of the Metadata panel: This is referred to as "Description" by Windows Explorer (and MacOS Finder). (Probably because Google/Picasa thought that would be a good place for it.) The metadata that I believe you're hoping can be displayed in Affinity Photo (1954 Chevolet Power Blue White top, White leather, Powerglide) is stored in the image's IPTC Caption-Abstract field. The important fields "Title" "Comments" and "Subject" are ignored. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Tags" is imported in FILE as "Keywords" "Rating" is imported as "Rating" "Authors" as "Author" It appears this is a data labeling issue "Date Taken" is imported in EXIP as "Date Shot" "Camera maker" as "Maker" "Camera Model" as "Camera" Question #2: Are there plans to have AP import data FROM JPG files? Re-entering all data or not being able to view data while in AP is a problem. This conversion issue is of little concern. If I add data to Metadata in AP and export file (JPG) and now use File Manager to view "Details" most of data is there but is sometimes in different categories, i.e., Description converts to Subject. With file opened in AP none of this info is displayed in Metadata view. Using Windows File Manager with "Details Pane" on, I see file data (metadata) in many family photos that I believe was added with Google Picasa years ago. Using: AP Windows 10 AP 1.8.3 JPG files only
