NOTE:

If the IPTC Core panels have been installed in your version of Adobe Photoshop CS, they should

appear as seen in the screen below or on the following pages (this user guide alternates between

screen grabs for Mac and Windows operating systems). See appendix section 1 for detailed

instructions on where to download and how to install the panels.

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [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 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.

Description of field and how it should be used.

Note(s): on where the data will be shared by other fields in the standard Adobe Photoshop “File

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.

Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc Page 9 of 22

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [Production/PublicRelease]

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)

Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc Page 10 of 22

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [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 "Scene-

NewsCodes" 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 top-

down 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 top-

down 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.

Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc Page 11 of 22

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [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.

Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc Page 12 of 22

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [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.

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 ©<date of first publication> name of

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

Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.doc Page 13 of 22

IPTC Core Schema for XMP - CS panels User Guide [Production/PublicRelease]

circle with a "c" inside; using something like (c) where the parentheses form a partial circle is not

notice above is encouraged.

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.

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.

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/<user name>/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\<user name>\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.

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).
