Re: XMP to IPTC Keywords
Hi Dan,

Do you want to replace the original keywords in the destination file:

exiftool "-keywords<regionpersondisplayname" people.jpg

or add to them?:

exiftool "-keywords+<regionpersondisplayname" people.jpg

Or if you wanted to copy the tags to another file, you would use the -tagsFromFile option:

exiftool -tagsfromfile people.jpg "-keywords<regionpersondisplayname" DSTFILE

You don't have to specify "-IPTC:Keywords" in any of these commands because exiftool writes to IPTC preferentially, however it never hurts to be more specific if you want.
