[Production/PublicRelease]
1 Introduction
This document is designed to introduce photographers to use of the IPTC Core metadata schema.
For more in-depth information, including the complete schema, please visit
http://www.iptc.org/iptc4xmp/.
1.1 Brief Background of IPTC Metadata
The IPTC’s older standard for metadata, the Information Interchange Model (IIM), defined a large
set of metadata properties. In the early nineties a subset of this IIM was adopted as the well known
"IPTC Headers" supported in JPEG, TIFF and PSD files by Adobe Photoshop.
The IPTC Core is the latest revision of the International Press Telecommunications Council IIM
schema, designed to use the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) developed by Adobe in 2001.
XMP was first introduced in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Acrobat 5.0. With XMP, legacy
IPTC IIM metadata, new and customized metadata and metadata from other standards (such as
EXIF camera data) can be recorded using a common data format based on XML (Extensible
Markup Language http://www.w3.org/XML/). This information can be stored inside JPEG, TIFF,
and PSD files as well as other file types including PDF. Since its introduction a number of other
software vendors have added XMP support in their products.
1.2 Four panels for Four Key Sets of Properties
The new IPTC Core XMP schema uses properties from the older IIM standard in addition to new
metadata properties, and it specifies XMP to store metadata in files. The IPTC Core custom panels
provide a view of metadata that’s labeled and organized so it is easier for photographers to use the
Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc
© 2005 International Press Telecommunications Council | www.iptc.org
Page 5 of 22
IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide
[Production/PublicRelease]
IPTC Core schema. The IPTC Core panels concentrate all key sets of properties needed by
photographers into four sections or panels.
The first focuses on the Contact Information, the second on basic information about the Content of
the photograph, the third with more abstract Image information relating to the photograph. The final
section, Status information, relates to image management, workflow and copyright.
If you do not see these panels in your version of Adobe Photoshop, see Appendix 1, for details on
where to download, and steps on how to install into Windows or Mac versions of Adobe Photoshop.
1.3 Backward Compatibility Issues
The same information can appear multiple times within Adobe Photoshop's Custom panels. The
data is not duplicated. It is stored only once, and all the panels and schemas that read or write to that
field use it as a “shared property.” Some IPTC Core properties already appear as part of Adobe’s
Description, Origin and Categories in the File Info panels as well as the Adobe Photoshop File
Browser’s Metadata panel. As an example, enter the name “John Doe” in the “Creator” field of the
"IPTC Contact" panel, then switch to the Adobe Photoshop “Description” panel—notice that the
name “John Doe” automatically appears in the "Author" field in that panel. Change that “Author”
entry to “Jane Doe” and it will appear in the “Creator” field in the IPTC Contact panel using the
new name. Both panels simply provide two different views of the same metadata.
When image files are opened and saved by Adobe Photoshop (version 7.01 or higher), the “IPTC
Headers” stored within those files are synchronized with the stored XMP metadata. To maintain
compatibility with older versions of Adobe Photoshop, no pre-existing mappings have changed.
Workflow interoperability is another reason why some metadata appears shared. For example, many
types of documents need a “Title” (technical specifications, tax forms, blueprints), but only news
items need an IPTC Subject Code. If another metadata standard has already defined a useful
property, it is simply reused in the IPTC Core schema. In many cases (title and keywords are two
examples) this mapping was already established by Adobe Photoshop’s mapping of binary IPTC
metadata to XMP. Likewise, metadata entered using the IPTC Core panels will continue to appear
in other locations. The IPTC Core custom panel fields that are shared are noted in the descriptions
of each field that follow.

Info” panel or other schemas.
2 IPTC Contact panel
(use this panel to record the photographer’s contact information)
Creator
[Creator]
This field should contain your name, or the name of the person who created the photograph. If it is
not appropriate to add the name of the photographer (for example, if the identify of the
photographer needs to be protected) the name of a company or organization can also be used. Once
saved, this field should not be changed by anyone. This field does not support the use of commas or
semi-colons as separator.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Author” field in the Description Panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.
Creator’s Job Title
[CreatorJobtitle]
This field should contain the job title of the photographer. Examples might include titles such as:
Staff Photographer, Freelance Photographer, or Independent Commercial Photographer. Since this
is a qualifier for the Creator field, the Creator field must also be filled out.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Author Title” field in the Description Panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field (only appears in versions of Adobe products later than CS).

3 IPTC Content panel
(use this panel to describe the visual content of the image)
Headline
[Headline]
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline
term should not be confused with the Title term.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Headline” field in the Origin Panel of the Adobe Photoshop
File Info field.
Description
[Description]
The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of
what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might
include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location,
then it should give information regarding the location. Don’t forget to also include this same
“geographical” information in the Image panel (location, city, state/province, country) of the IPTC
Core. The amount of detail you include will depend on the image and whether the image is
documentary or conceptual. Typically, editorial images come with complete caption text, while
advertising images may not.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Description” field in the Description panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.

Keywords
[Keywords]
Enter keywords and terms or phrases used to express the subject of the content seen in the
photograph. Keywords may be free text (i.e. they are not required to be taken from a controlled
vocabulary). Values from the controlled vocabulary IPTC Subject Codes must be placed into the
“Subject Code” field.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Keyword” field in the Description panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.
IPTC Subject Code
[SubjectCode]
This field can be used to specify and categorize the content of a photograph by using one or more
subjects as listed in the IPTC “Subject NewsCode” taxonomy (available from
http://www.newscodes.org/). Each subject is represented as an 8 digit numerical string in an
unordered list. Only subjects from a controlled vocabulary should be used in this field, free-choice
text should be entered into the Keyword field.
Description writer
[DescriptionWriter]
Enter the name of the person involved in writing, editing or correcting the description of the
photograph in this field. For individual photographers this will typically be your own name, as you
are the person that is entering the image metadata.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Description Writer” field in the Description panel of the
Adobe Photoshop File Info field.
4 IPTC Image panel
(use this panel for formal descriptive information about the image)

[Production/PublicRelease]
Date Created
[DateCreated]
Use this field to record the date of when the photograph was taken, not the date when you scanned
or edited the image. If you use a digital camera, you can look at the EXIF data for the date stamp.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Date Created” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field. You can use the Origin panel’s “Today button” to set IPTC Image
panel’s Date Created.
Intellectual Genre
[IntellectualGenre]
Use this field to describe the “type” of use that a photograph fulfills in terms of its intellectual or
journalistic characteristics. For example, at a newspaper, Intellectual Genre labels might include
terms like daybook, obituary, press release, or transcript. A magazine might use terms like actuality,
interview, background, feature, summary, or wrap-up. For best results, organizations should use a
set of terms from a controlled vocabulary that they have developed. A sample taxonomy of
“Intellectual genre” terms developed by the IPTC is available from http://www.newscodes.org/. The
PRISM working group of the IDEAlliance has also developed a set of terms that can be referenced
at http://prismstandard.org/.
IPTC Scene
[Scene]
This field is used to describe the scene of a photo using one or more terms from the IPTC "SceneNewsCodes" controlled vocabulary (available from http://www.newscodes.org/). The IPTC Scene
is represented as a 6 digit numerical string in an unordered list.
Location
[Location]
Enter the name of a location shown in the photograph. This location name could be the name of a
specific area within a city (Manhattan) or the name of a well known location (Pyramids of Giza) or
(natural) monument outside a city (Grand Canyon). Location is the most specific term, at the fourth
level of a top-down geographical hierarchy.
City
[City]
Enter the name of the city that is pictured in the photograph. If there is no city, you can use the
location field alone to specify where the photograph was taken. City is at the third level of a topdown geographical hierarchy.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “City” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe Photoshop File
Info field.
State/Province
[Province-State]
Enter the name of the subregion of a country–usually referred to as either a State or Province – that
is pictured in the image. Since the abbreviation for a State or Province may be unknown to those
viewing your metadata internationally, consider using the full spelling of the name. Province/State
is at the second level of a top-down geographical hierarchy.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “State/Province” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.
Country
[Country]
Enter the full name of the country pictured in the photograph. This field is at the first level of a topdown geographical hierarchy. The full name should be expressed as a verbal name and not as a
code, the ISO country code should be placed in the field titled ISO CountryCode.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Country” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe Photoshop
File Info field.

[Production/PublicRelease]
ISO Country Code
[CountryCode]
Enter the ISO Country Code of the country pictured in the photograph. This field is at the top/ first
level of a top-down geographical hierarchy. Country codes should be displayed as upper-case letters
(US not us), and may be either two- or three-letter codes as defined by the ISO 3166 standard. The
two-letter code (3166-2) is freely available from
the http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html site.
The full name of a country should go to the “Country” field.
5 IPTC Status panel
(use this panel to record workflow and copyright information)
Title
[Title]
This field can be used as a shorthand reference for the image or “photograph” — primarily for
identification. The title of an image may take several forms; for photographers this might be the
filename of their original scan or digital camera file, for news organizations it might be the name of
the story for which it’s to be used. The Title term should not be confused with the Headline term,
which is a short synopsis of the content of the photograph.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Document Title” field in the Description panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.

[Production/PublicRelease]
Job Identifier
[JobID]
You can enter a number or identifier that was created or issued for the purpose of improving
workflow handling and image tracking. This ID should be added by the creator or provider for
transmission and routing purposes only and should have no significance for archiving. (please note
that this same field was labelled as the “transmission reference” in previous versions of Adobe
Photoshop).
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Transmission Reference” field in the Origin panel of the
Adobe Photoshop File Info field.
Instructions
[Instructions]
The Instructions field is a simple text field that can be used to include any of a number of
instructions from the provider or creator to the receiver of the photograph. Any of the following
could be included: embargoes (News Magazines OUT) and other restrictions not covered by the
“Rights Usage Terms” field; information regarding the original means of capture (scanning notes,
colourspace info) or other specific text information that the user may need for accurate
reproduction; additional permissions or credits required when publishing.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Instructions” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe
Photoshop File Info field.
Provider
[Provider]
Use the Provider field to identify who is providing the photograph. This doesn’t have to necessarily
be the owner/ creator. If a photographer is working for a news agency such as Reuters or the
Associated Press, these organizations could be listed here as they are “providing” the image for use
by others. If the image is a stock photograph, then the group (agency) involved in supplying the
image should be listed here.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Credit” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe Photoshop
File Info field.
Source
[Source]
The Source field should be used to identify the original owner or copyright holder of the
photograph. The value of this field should never be changed after the information is entered
following the image's creation. While not yet enforced by the custom panels, you should consider
this to be a “write-once” field. The source could be an individual, an agency, or a member of an
agency. To aid in later searches, it is suggested to separate any slashes “/” with a blank space. Use
the form “photographer / agency” rather than “photographer/agency.” Source may also be different
from Creator and from the names listed in the Copyright Notice.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Source” field in the Origin panel of the Adobe Photoshop
File Info field.
Copyright Notice
[CopyrightNotice]
The Copyright Notice should contain any necessary copyright notice for claiming the intellectual
property, and should identify the current owner(s) of the copyright for the photograph. Usually, this
would be the photographer, but if the image was done by an employee or as work-for-hire, then the
agency or company should be listed. Use the form appropriate to your country.
For the United States you would typically follow the form of © name of
copyright owner, as in “©2005 John Doe.” Note, the word "copyright" or the abbreviation "copr"
may be used in place of the © symbol. In some foreign countries only the copyright symbol is
recognized and the abbreviation does not work. Furthermore the copyright symbol must be a full

circle with a "c" inside; using something like (c) where the parentheses form a partial circle is not
sufficient. For additional protection worldwide, use of the phrase, “all rights reserved” following the
notice above is encouraged.
In Europe you would use: Copyright {Year} {Copyright owner}, all rights reserved.
In Japan, for maximum protection, the following three items should appear in the copyright field of
the IPTC Core: (a) the word, Copyright; (b) year of the first publication; and (c) name of the author.
You may also wish to include the phrase “all rights reserved.”
Notes regarding usage rights should be provided in the “Rights Usage Terms" field.
Note: This field is “shared” with the “Copyright Notice” field in the Description panel of the
Adobe Photoshop File Info field.
Rights Usage Terms
[RightsUsageTerms]
The Rights Usage Terms field should include text instructions on how this photograph can be
legally used. For example, if you are only submitting the image(s) for consideration only, you can
indicate that, and stipulate that no reproduction is allowed without permission being negotiated in
advance. There are several groups working on terminology that can be used for rights management.
It is strongly encouraged that you use a standardized set of terms or controlled vocabulary when
populating this field.

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide
[Production/PublicRelease]
7 Appendix
7.1 Appendix section 1: Installing the panels
Installing and Using the Panels with Adobe Photoshop CS and other Adobe Creative Suite
Applications
If, for some reason, your current version of Adobe Photoshop doesn’t contain the IPTC Core panels,
you can download them from http://www.iptc.org/iptc4xmp/
The information for the various custom panels are contained in the four text files labeled;
IPTC_Contact, IPTC_Content, IPTC_Image, and IPTC_Status. The panels are installed either in a
global, or user-specific directory.
The following paths are correct for current operating systems and the Adobe Creative Suite of
applications such as Adobe Photoshop CS. The items not in bold might be dependent upon the
language of the installed operating system.
On a Macintosh OSX system the custom panel files may be installed in either of the following
locations:
{Root Volume} /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info
Panels
On Windows XP the files are installed in either of the following locations (substitute the
appropriate drive letter for the “C” drive if necessary):
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\
XMP\Custom File Info Panels
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
To use a custom panel, Select “File Info” from the “File” menu with a file open. Or, within the
Adobe Photoshop File Browser, right-click (control+click on Macintosh) on a thumbnail image and
select “File Info” from the contextual menu. When the File Info dialog opens, you can click on an
IPTC Core panel name in the list of panel in the list at the left side of the dialog box.
NOTE:
The IPTC also provides a Windows-only installer program to move the panels to the correct
location in your file system.

7.2 Appendix section 2: creating metadata templates
How to create metadata templates and batch apply them in Adobe Photoshop CS
Creation
1. Start with a fresh new document in any CS app.
2. Go to File Info and enter the data for which you wish to create a template.
3. Save template - go to the upper right flyout (circle with arrow in it) and select save - name it
whatever you want.
4. Cancel File Info
5. Discard new document
Apply to Single Image
1. Open a file and select File Info
2. Select from the flyout menu the template you wish to append (control click to replace)
Batch Apply
1. Select multiple files in the Adobe Photoshop file browser
2. Select Edit > Append Metadata or Edit > Replace Metadata
Append vs. Replace
Append will add values to properties that are empty and add properties & values if they are not
present.
Replace will add properties & values if they are not present and will replace values for those
properties that exist.
Append and Replace are also available from the Advanced panel of the File Info dialog.
Delete
Properties can be deleted via the Advanced Panel of the File Info dialog. (Presumably there also
ways of editing template files to apply 'blank' or null values but you will need to experiment to get
the results you need).
