Question

Add different metadata from an excel file to 10.000 photos

Hi,

I am looking for a way to add metadata to a large number of files. Each photo will have different keywords etc.

Is there a way to match an Excel sheet with the photos and add the metadata to the respective photos automatically rather than copy it manually for 10.000 photos?

Thank you!

I have a script that does it. Something I had kicking around, just had to finish it up. Free to download. This incarnation of an earlier script is a new release so please holler if something doesn't work right. And always make a backup of your files first, please!

There are a few methods to do this:

Use a D.A.M. (digital asset management program)

ExifTool by Phil Harvey

VRA Panel Export-Import Tool

DIY Metadata.jsx

or write a program to do it.

Sounds like this may take some Scripting, maybe you should ask for advice over on
