Aftershot Metadata Browser missing IPTC tags

Post by John Workman »

New user trying out Aftershot Pro 2. I have created a catalog of images which have various IPTC tags. When I try to find the tags with the metadata browser only some of the tags appear. For example, the creator information, subject and title all appear in the metadata for the selected image but these fields are not present in the metadata browser.

My question is: Is this just the way the program works, or can the tags shown in the browser be modified?

On top of the Metadata panel you can change "Default" selection of metadata to other selections, for example "IPTC". You can define your own selection using "Manage" to get "Metadata Set Manager".

Thanks alfiver. The problem I'm having is with the metadata browser. On the left side of the screen, if I click on Library, it shows my catalog and below that the metadata browser. That browser shows some of the IPTC tags I enter in the metadata panel but not all of them. For example, Caption & Headline can be seen and edited in the metadata panel on the right side of the screen but do no then show up on the metadata browser on the left side of the screen.

Am I missing something here?

Yes, it seems as there are just some IPTC tags showing up in the metadata panel. I cannot find an answer for this. Maybe somebody else (AFX?) could explain this?
