Create a metadata preset
Specific metadata can be saved as a preset for reuse on one or more photos. Using a metadata preset saves you the effort
of manually entering the same information for different photos.
1 From the Preset menu in the Metadata panel, choose Edit Presets.
2 Type information for any of the following groups:
Basic Info Lets you enter metadata for a caption, rating stars, and a text label.
IPTC Content Writes metadata for a brief summary of the photo, a newscode found at the newscodes.org website,
and the name of the person who wrote the photo description.
IPTC Copyright Writes metadata for the name of the copyright holder, usage rights granted for the photo, and web
address of the copyright holder.
IPTC Creator Writes metadata for the name, address, contact information, website, and job title of the author of the
photo.
IPTC Image Writes metadata for a publication description using guidelines listed at newscodes.org, a description of
the photo using guidelines specified by newscodes.org, and information about where the photograph was taken.
IPTC Status Writes metadata for the title of the photo, any job number used for the photo assignment, instructions
for transmission, usage or rights of the photo, the name of the photographer, company or agency, and the owner of
the photo.
IPTC Extension Writes metadata for five categories of supplemental information about the content of the image:
Administrative, Artwork, Description, Models, and Rights.
Keywords Writes metadata for the listed keywords, appending them to any existing keywords applied to the photo.
3 Select the metadata to include in the preset by doing any of the following:
• To include all the metadata, click Check All.
• To include none of the metadata, click Check None. You’ll probably use this button when you want to start over
selecting which metadata to include.
• To include only the metadata for which you entered information, click Check Filled.
Note: If you manually entered metadata in the Metadata panel before choosing Edit Presets, the fields you edited are
checked in the Edit Metadata Presets dialog box.
• To specify individual metadata, click the boxes next to a metadata box.
• To include an entire metadata group, click the boxes next to the name (for example, IPTC Content, IPTC
Copyright, and so on).
4 Choose Preset > Save Current Settings As New Preset, type a name for the preset, and click Create.
5 In the Edit Metadata Presets dialog box, click Done.
Apply a metadata preset
❖ With photos selected in the Grid view or in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, choose a preset from
the Preset menu in the Metadata panel.
Apply a metadata preset using the Painter tool
1 In the Grid view, select the Painter tool in the toolbar, and then choose Metadata from the Paint menu in the toolbar.
Note: If the Painter tool does not appear in the toolbar, choose Painter from the toolbar menu.
