Description

PhotoMetaData is a very useful app for any professional or amateur photographer.
It is used to enter the metadatas after the shooting session.
The values of these metadatas are either those provided by the app and consistent with the IPTC Core 1.1 either those defined by the photographer himself, his agency or his client.

Once filled these metadatas are stored locally on the Mac and if asked in a cloud storage such as iCloud. In this case they can be treated immediately by a remote authorized organization.

The metadas are stored in a xmp file. Then every images manager software such as Lightroom is able to import them at the same time that the images themselves.

Excellent program , lots of potential

This is an excellent program for writing metadata to a photo that has excellent vendor support. Unlike many other photo managers, this program does not require the annoying and unnecessary creation of duplicate photograph files. The side car files it creates and deposits into Dropbox work very well with photographic management software including the open source Phil Harvey's exiftool and KDE DigiKam. The documention is very clumsy and awkward. Expect a steep learning curve. Add the ability to edit geo tags and improve the documentation and get 5 stars.

Does not work

Requires either the Apple CCK or for you to manually generate a folder structure so that Aperture (I hope you have it btw) can create an events libraries. Is unable to read a single album or photo already loaded in my iPad in the Photos App, making it entirely useless.
