How to extract Photo Notes

I use the " Notes" field in Photoshop Elements Version 20.0 to enter information about my photos and would like to be able to extract in bulk the contents of this field. There are programs that extract the EXIF data nicely but not the Notes field, even if I use the "Save Metadata to File" option.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks,

Gunther

I suppose that some metadata management softwares can extract that info. Now I am away from my main computer so I can't test which would work, probably those based on Exiftool.

You find the name of the metadata field in the editor, menu File >> File Info...

in the 'raw' section, you'll find <album:notes>

Michael, thanks for telling me about the File Info menu item. This is helpful. Please let me know if you find an EXIF tool that also extracts the contents of the <album:Notes> field.

Thanks, Gunther

I have just installed Bridge on this computer (which is free without any subscription with the free Creative Cloud Desktop):

The PSE notes are recognized in the metadata section of Bridge. I am not a regular user of Bridge, but if you ask in the Bridge forum, you may get a solution.

If I remember well, when you convert a PSE catalog for Lightroom Classic, the notes are converted to captions (not sure...)
