Revisiting Images/Photos
darichman:
Gentle, but hopeful, bump
Matt:
I'm looking at this a little bit.
We already set the date to the EXIF and IPTC tags. Keywords are stored in the IPTC tag. Caption is saved in the XMP and IPTC tags.
Image tagging is a little bit of a scatter shot because there's no single absolute standard. We're trying to support everything we know about.
If there are additional specific tags you would like to see mapped, please provide details.
Thanks.

IPTC is a well defined standard. Any DAM software starts there.
To expand a bit with examples on my last post on the thread Jim linked to, fields like [Headline] do not exist in MC while a field like [Places] is an arbitrary combination that exists only in MC, instead of proper IPTC fields of [City], [State/Province] and [Country].
Maybe I'm a pro photographer; maybe I'm a data hoarder backing up Getty Images. Those fields matter. Also this situation raises a lot of questions regarding interoperability. I don't know how photo tags set in MC show up in other software, because MC does it's own non-standard thing. It may work, it may not, but nobody working with a lot of images would want to doubt the results at every turn, to wonder "what else...?" might go wrong.
Matt:
Coming when the build gets out of beta:
NEW: Added the tags City and State/Province and mapped them to the same IPTC fields for images.
Thanks for the suggestion.
