I have set the values for one image and tested the display of the location with Google Earth.I have been successful only with GPS metadata : I have searched all docs without finding this process. I have defined a process to fill all needed metadata for something like 50,000 photos. There are near 2,000 photo which need most of these data which are identical for the selection (data which characterize the selection - to use to get back the selection from a full library by the select feature). Practically, to prepare a full job, I have set using various features the metadata of one photo. I would copy (duplicate) several metadata from one photo to a selection. We are not asking for a complicated catalog or search engine (not yet) but inviting us to manage metada with an external app just for this feature is just infair, time consuming and pricey.I am a beginner, but a lot experienced in data management. It’s a basic feature for years in the competitors apps and an essential tool for photographers during the curling/editing process. I know that some of the DXO team prefere DXO PL4 to stay and concentrate in a one strong feature instead of offering too much but please integrate as soon as possible the metadatas management. Sorry but frankly speaking, What a mess ! dop file !!! And the Author and Copyright fields are not those from DXO but those previously created with ON1 that has been respected but forgetting the DXO fields in a strange way. Once my raw processed into a JPEG file, I could see all my keywords into On1 or XnViewMP that came from one side the. dop file maybe to preserve the integrity of the XMP file !!
So now, if I full-fill Author and Copyright and add one more keywords though DXO PL4 none of them are written in the XMP sidecar file but into the DXO. Nothing for Author nor Copyright that do exist in the XMP in the right fields. If I open again my raw into DXO PL4, it displays only the keyword.
Those fields are perfectly readable and editable with XnViewMP (free software…developed by only one guy just FYI !). I full-filled XMP fields into On1 Photoraw 2021, It created a. dop file that’s too messy and dangerous ! And please give us a window to read and edit all the XMP/IPTC fields fulfilled by another external app that are ghost data inside PL4 that we do not even know until we use an external app to read/edit them. Stop using author, title and keywords in a proprietary. I dream of a strong cross compatibility regarding XMP file between apps that manage XMP/IPTC fields. Just a copy/paste about another topic regarding this missing feature for a too long time now… Metadata is a deep rabbit hole and I’d really prefer that DxO focus on interoperability so that Photolab photographers can use other dedicated metadata tools without having to do handstands moving photos between applications. Perhaps it matters less to you as you’d add your limited metadata fields on export to jpg.īut would the DxO Photolab fields be enough for most stock sites or would you have to take the finished files and process them with an external application to add some obligatory boilerplate fields? There’s about six different ways to designate artist/copyright and who knows what stock company requires which ones. Here our interests coincide as for these additional Photolab metadata improvements to be of much use, Photolab should play well with the outside world. What I would like to see from Photolab is storing keywords and ratings in the. Even in that case, the new MetaView should still play well with others.
If DxO is that intent on building a serious metadata tool, it would make more sense to make it a paid add-on like ViewPoint. There’s twenty years of dedicated work in Photo Mechanic and it shows. There’s no way in a dozen years that Photolab would be able to handle metadata the way Photo Mechanic does. The new variant Photo Mechanic Plus allows the photographer to build permanent catalogues (thankfully per image data is still stored in xmp sidecars) and would be the version I’d get to manage stock. With just the metadata fields you intend to use right in front of you, filling in metadata becomes a simple matter of fill-in-the-blanks (which is plenty of work, I’m not sure adding metadata even with a dedicated, very efficient application with templates doesn’t take almost as long as the actual processing – part of the slow down for me is trying to identify players from the opposite teams: while I have a numbered list, numbers are not visible on these uniforms except from behind). Any application which doesn’t let the photographer limit these fields will cripple his/her ability to efficiently process metadata as there are at least 120 metadata fields to choose from.
