Post subject: | Captions from EXIF Image.Description Field |
Is there a way to use the text from the EXIF Image.Description field for displaying the Caption? I noticed that twg16 can use the IPTC fields in this way. Photoshop Elements 2.0 uses this field and I have used it to extensively. It would be great if TWG could pull this data into its caption. Great program Michael. |

Hi, are you really sure that Photoshop Elements is writing Exif data? Because e.g. my Photoshop i tested with is writing IPTC data (Image description, title, caption, copyright ....). Normally exif data is only written by the camera and you can add a comment with e.g. xnview TWG is using the caption - but you can use the image description too. /Michael |

Michael, I can't send you a u-r-l with a picture in it because I am a new registered user, but I have examined images produced by Photoshop 2.0 usinf EXIFER. No IPTC data is generated - just EXIF using the Image.Description field. Very inconvenient for me as I agree that this data should be reserved for Camera generated data. You might be able to browse my web-site for pictures if you want to verify this for yourself or I could e-mail you a picture. Thanks, Mark |

I tested this - you are right - I can read this description in the exif data (where i should not be .). you can actually include the reading of the exif into the reading of the iptc data, some work but not really hard to do . /Michael |

If I could find a program that would batch convert the EXIF code to the IPTC code I would do that. EXIFER will not do subdirectories. I guess I will just do a directory at a time. I am a big beleiver in leaving the comments in the files instead of an outside file. This makes them more portable from one program to another. Thanks. |

Thanks, But now you have to test it! The reading of the exif is disabled by default because extracting exif data is slow . Read howto 38 of the howto.htm included in the zip! I tested with one of you images and it worked fine. Please tell we if it works for you too. If it does I make this version offically rc3 - I then only have to make the german website until 1.6 is ready . /Michael |

the version I upload is already preconfigured for you - but the real rc3 I upload in a couple of days won't. /Michael |

Eureka! It worked like a charm - just like magic. Wish I had asked for this a few weeks ago because I have spent hours re-typing all my comments into the xml files (that was before I read that twg16 could use IPTC data). I had started to use exifer to convert EXIF to IPTC data - about 66% done before you offered to change the script to accomodate my wishes. The script works fine - even when there is both exif and iptc data. Thanks again /Mark You can see the results by going to my web-site and adding the sub-directory: test-twg16-rc3 |

Correction. The program I was using that only generated EXIF description tag (not IPTC tag) was Photoshop Album 2.0 -- not Photoshop Elements 2.0 |
