#GIMP EDITOR FOR XMP AND IPTC PROFESSIONAL#

IPTC appreciates the support of our metadata schemas – – as actually each semi-professional and professional photographer is using them. Update: Michael Steidl, IPTC Managing Director, commented: For now you can use nightly builds for Windows, or a PPA for Ubuntu. GIMP 2.10 is going to be the first version to have advanced metadata support. And now that GIMP can read XMP, it’s possible to make this happen.

They already provided a similar patch for Inkscape regarding SVG. Michael is in touch with gexiv2 developers and already sent his first patch for the wrapper.Īlso, Commons Machinery team is quite interested in getting GIMP to support preservation of metadata in compound works of art. Supports adding/editing writing XMP, IPTC, DICOM, and GPS/Exif metadata,s well as loading/exporting metadata from/to XMP files. Instead it uses a GObject-based wrapper called gexiv2 created by Yorba, developers of Shotwell photo management application. However, GIMP doesn’t use libexiv2 directly. Third-party image editing/management softwares are inconsistent in the metadata tags they use to stored descriptions and other metadata. So I am adding it here.) The current ImageMetadata gramplet only displays EXIF metadata tags.

The metadata code relies on a rock-solid foundation - a popular tool called Exiv2 that’s used for reading and writing metadata in virtually every free/libre photography application. (Note: This is a cross-post of Mantis Issues 12219 - My attempt in Mantis to show a table didn’t work. And yet, this is a work in progress, with more features and polishing to follow. Thanks to this no less than 12 metadata related bugs have already been closed. Just reading and viewing metadata wouldn’t be much fun though, would it? So now when you export to TIFF, PNG, and JPEG, you can choose what kind of metadata you are willing to preserve. The metadata dialog currently resides in the File menu, but it is likely to be relocated to the Image menu soon. What does it do, exactly?Īs you can see, it is now possible to view Exif, XMP, and IPTC metadata embedded into JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF, and PSD images. Hartmut Kuhse finally unlocked the achievement by providing a rather complete patch, and Michael Natterer is now actively improving it in the main development branch. The team recognized that early on: getting real metadata support into GIMP is an initiative that’s nearly as old as moving GIMP to the GEGL image processing engine. Don't show a separate checkbox for IPTC since its not separate.Being able to handle metadata in photos is critical in professional environment.

When exporting JPG/PNG, show checkboxes for XMP and Exif.

This reinforces my impression that IPTC is saved as (legacy) IPTC, but it's not. PhotoGIMP provides a powerful platform for editing digital images, enabling users to easily manipulate and enhance their photos.

When viewing metadata, the IPTC tab does not show any of the IPTC info I just wrote (issue #2007 (closed)), but it does show legacy IIM IPTC written by other software.

IPTC can be a sub-frame of XMP - that would be clear and reflect reality. The relatively new thing is that I based almost everything on the XMP model (Extensible Metadata Platform from Adobe, based on RDF/XML) because XMP supersedes IPTC (used by Photoshop 6 and earlier) and includes EXIF (used by almost all digital cameras and supported by many programs). Now TSR Watermark Image supports these types of metadata : EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3. It is, therefore, a format that can be used to describe any kind of asset, not limited to pictures. In version 3.2 of TSR Watermark Image an improved metadata handler and copy routine was implemented and supported when watermarking photos. It's based on XML and was designed to allow the exchange of standardized and custom metadata for digital documents and data sets. If you select a photo or video file in NeoFinder, the Inspector will show you the XMP/IPTC. XMP is the new 'Extensible Metadata Platform' that was developed by Adobe around 2001.

And that includes Keywords and star ratings, captions, and copyright information.

When editing metadata, separate it into XMP and Exif. Directly embedded in the Inspector, the NeoFinder IPTC/XMP Editor can edit all Adobe XMP fields that NeoFinder supports, no extra software needed.

It would be more clear if you revised the user interface concerning metadata: GIMP is using the new standard, but the user interface reflects the old standard. I get the impression that the keywords will be written to, but they are written to Xmp.dc.subject. This gives the impression that when saving IPTC, GIMP will write it to the (legacy) IPTC Information Interchange Model (IIM) tags.

When editing metadata, there is no mention of XMP, but there are two separate tabs for IPTC.

When viewing metadata, there is a separate tab for IPTC and for XMP.

When saving JPEG and PNG files, one has checkboxes for including Exif, IPTC and XMP.
