IPTC - Content sync - HOW?

Pawel Pietraszewski
Hi
I want to make sure that when I select a batch of images, and insert the Headline and Description in the IPTC - Content section of the Metadata, that they apply to all selected images. Currently this works for keywords, but the Headline and Description applies only to the first selected image, the rest remain blank.

Any idea how to apply it to all?

Thank you

    You can copy and apply as you would for an adjustment. So say you have 100 images all needing the same headline and description. Fill in those fields for the first image. Select all 100 (with the first one still as the highlighted selection). Click the double-headed arrow on the metadata tool. Check the boxes for the metadata you want to copy and paste, then click copy. Then click it again and click paste.

    Also ....

    Once you have at least ONE image with the IPTC field entry if becomes available as a FILTER value. If you open the Filters tool you can see all of the filters currently currently visible. There are others that are available but not visible.

    At the top left corner of the tool there are 3 dots. Click on those and then click on Show/Hide Filters to seyouy wish to use.e a list of all the other filters available. Add any new ones that are not currently displayed but that you wish to use.

    Headline and Description for example in your case.

    Make sure you can see them on screen.

    Now you can select all of the images that you wish to connect to one of the filters and simply drag the selection onto the filter value you want apply. Repeat for the second value and the job is done.

    Both methods are fast but they have slightly different usage benefits depending on how you are working - and how you like to work! (Not necessarily always the same thing....)

    Hello,

    These steps are not working for me, and it seems C1P 21 is broken in this regard as I was previously able to do this.

    I'm trying to apply the IPTC Content tags from a RAW file to edited TIFF files, and each time I try to sync, it pulls a blank.

    The ONLY way I've found I can copy IPTC tags is via the hamburger menu on the Metadata tool, selecting "Save User Preset", making sure I select all Metadata tags, and then Apply User Preset to the TIFF's I want to have to have the same IPTC data.

    This is REALLY slowing down my workflows in this scenario, and would like to know if there's another, faster way to apply IPTC data to TIFF's, or if this is a bug in the software, in which case, add it to the LONG list of C1P bugs!

    Thanks

    I generally don't use the IPTC Content, but I just tried this. I have some images of a woodpigeon that I took on Saturday. One of them I exported as a TIFF. (It had no IPTC Content fields filled.) For one of the other raw files I added "woodpigeon" in the IPTC Content - Description field. I then additionally selected the TIFF, used the double-headed arrow button at the top of the metadata tool, made sure that Description was checked, then clicked Apply. It added the description "woodpigeon" to the TIFF. If you have the Edit Selected button toggled on, I don't see why that shouldn't work for a whole batch of files at once.
