batch edit copyright metadata?
« on: August 01, 2007, 07:26:25 pm »

During import, I forget to add the IPTC/metadata for copyright or image owner.
If I google and read tutorials, I am supposed to be able to select multiple images on
the bottom of the library "film strip" , enter my name in the copyright field for one,
and then hit enter/return.  It should be applied to all those selected images then.

However, no matter how many images I have selected at the bottom of the screen,
it only seems to update the copyright field for one image, not all of them.

What is the correct way to "batch edit" metadata and IPTC fields, AFTER
the import phase was already done?

Thanks,

Neal

No...you can't batch edit from Film Strip. . .main Libary grid only.

Easy way to edit would be to select the copyright field in the MD browser that are blank and then either to a metadata paint or drag and drop. You could also select all and enter the copyright data in the metadata panel.
