writing to author fields in Photoshop kills description and keywords fields

Posted on 2010-02-09 07:53:10.957103-08 by pedroparamo

I want to write to the description, keywords AND author fields. Everything is fine with the description and keywords and they show up as they should in Photoshop, but when I add the author field it shows up but the other fields are now blank. I need to use the IPTC info because the images are being imported into an archive which automatically reads the IPTC into. Is this possible? Thanks. Peter

I suggest trying "-use MWG" and writing the MWG tags to maintain synchronization between EXIF, IPTC and XMP. I'm guessing that this is causing your problem. See the MWG tag name documentation for details.

Thanks for the info. By accident I found out if I use the 'Creator' tag instead everything remains intact. Pedro
