Add and edit IPTC metadata
Metadata is added to photos by entering the information in the Metadata panel. Premade metadata sets make it easy to make all or only a subset of the photo's metadata available for adding or editing.
Note: Choosing a metadata preset, copying and pasting metadata from another photo, and synchronizing metadata are quick ways to add metadata to photos that will share the same metadata.
- With photos selected in the Grid view or the Filmstrip, or with photos in Loupe Compare, or Survey view, choose a metadata set from the pop-up menu at the top of the Metadata panel. See View photo metadata.
- Do any of the following:
- To add metadata, type in a metadata text box.
- To add metadata from a preset, choose a metadata preset from the Preset menu.
- To edit metadata, overwrite an entry in a metadata text box.
- To perform a related action, click the action icon to the right of the metadata field. For example, to view all photos with the specified label, click the icon to the right of the Label field.
Separate fields are available for sending e-mail and for jumping to a website link. By clicking the link to the right of Website, for example, you can open the browser to the specified website.
