Editing Metadata
You can use Batch Set Information to add to or change metadata. You can enter information for all the files, and you can also use the tokens to apply information unique to each file. You can also save your settings as a template to use with other images.
To Add or Change Metadata For a Group of Files:
- In Manage mode, select one or more images.
- Click the Batch button and select Set Information.
- Use the Destination drop-down lists to drill down to the information field you want to change. For example, if you wanted to change IPTC Core keywords, you would select IPTC Core from the first drop-down, Content from the second drop-down list, and Keywords from the last drop-down list.
- Drag and drop Metadata or Source value tokens into the Value field.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Save to save your actions as a preset for future use. Enter a name for your preset and click Save. Next time you click the Batch button you will see this saved preset listed as an option.
- Click Run Batch to apply the settings to your files.
Entries added to the Value field, replace content at Destination.
As you drag or edit elements in the Value field, a preview is displayed below the form.
To apply multiple actions at once, select Batch | New Batch Workflow... from Manage mode. In the Batch Workflow dialog, select actions from the left pane and drag and drop them into the right pane.
