I am very new to working with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with the IPTC Core fields I need for each image file.
(Creator, Headline, Description, Keywords, Title, Job Identifier, Credit Line, Source, Rights Usage Terms, Copyright Status and Copyright Notice)
Is there a way to get the metadata into the files without having to copy from a cell into each metadata field individually?
I am hoping some for sort of script, possibly...
Also, if only ONE of these fields needed updating in all of the files (i.e. Rights Usage Terms) can that be done?
I have Bridge 5.1 (and earlier versions CS3/CS4)
Perhaps try tab delimited format instead of comma separated value format.
Edit – Paul Riggott originally wrote the following instructions:
...
N.B. The first field in the input file MUST be the filename only IE:- CRW_0001.jpg
This script will allow you to choose the fields and order they are in within either your CSV or TEXT file so that you can input your metadata.
Fields available are:-
Keywords 1 - These are Keywords that are in ONE field seperated by semicolons
Keywords 2 - These are Key

I just found where Adobe Bridge is FREE for life.
However, I installed the scripts and it appears there are only certain tags that can be exported and/or imported. So adding the custom XMP tags that I mentioned above does not seem possible. I will just wait until one of you guys can provide some expert advice on which direction I should go.
Thanks!
