P: IPTC information in Info Panel

Adobe needs to include IPTC information in the file INFO in Lr CC. This is the industry standard for file information and a requirement of most photo agencies, so why isn't it in CC? Cloud storage is great but without IPTC it's not of much use to those submitting to an agency.

Thank you Victoria for adding me to this thread so quickly. I agree 1000 percent with Phil and Al. How can we escalate the priority on adding options for IPTC which is a critical feature of a catalog system?

I wish to switch from Lightroom Classic CC to Lightroom CC but I do not see any way to access EXIF information other than a few fields in Lightroom CC. I am using the Creative Cloud subscription for Lightroom on the desktop. Specifically, I have been using the "instructions" field to hold information on each image in Lightroom Classic CC but I am unable to see the "instructions" field in Lightroom CC. Does anyone know how to access the full EXIF information in Lightroom CC? Or at least the "instructions" field?

Many of us are moving to iPad Pro for our primary editing device. Yes , all IPTC should be available on LR CC. Hope it happens soon.

When you have folder-based storage and cloud-based storage, they both want to be in charge of the files. It gets messy! But hopefully CC will add the features you need in time, as it gradually catches up with Classic, and then you'll be able to switch. There are ways to use both in tandem, but it gets a bit messy.

I want to add IPTC data to image files in Lr CC but it seems it's not ideal for my use. Why can't Lr Classic have cloud storage too as this is the aspect of CC I'm most interested in.

Can I confirm whether you're just wanting to confirm that existing IPTC data added in other software is retained when exporting photos - or whether you actually want to add IPTC data in LRCC?

LRCC's aimed at a primarily amateur audience at this point in time. I'm sure it'll grow in functionality in time, but that's a way off yet.
