Metadata can be added to photos in two ways:
1. When copying from memory cards to
hard disk an option can be selected to
automatically add the metadata template
to all imported pictures.
2. For existing albums go to Photo > Manage
> Add Metadata to Pictures. In this case
you can select photos first and then launch
a batch process to add the metadata
template to the selected pictures.
Metadata is embedded in JPEG files
only. For RAW files XMP sidecar files
are generated. The meta data is added
according to the IPTC standard.
GIGA Vu also allows you to add a ‘Star rating’
to pictures. You can give each picture a one,
two or three star rating while viewing them.
Go to Photos and select an album. As view
mode select ‘View Pictures’ to view pictures full
screen. The soft keys are now labelled Zoom
- Info - Chann - Levels - More. Press the More
button twice. The soft keys now read 1 star - 2
stars - 3 stars - clear - more. Use soft key 1 to
3 to add a star rating . Use softkey 4 to remove
any Star rating.
Star ratings can be stored in the IPTC: Urgency
field, in an IPTC Keyword or in both. Use the
‘Settings’ button to tailor this to your needs.
Where to look for the metadata you added?
The metadata added by GIGA Vu will be
accessible by most photo viewer/ browsers.
However sometimes the info is somewhat
buried in the user interface.
Here are some examples for frequently used
programs.
1. Photoshop
The IPTC organization provides custom XML file
info templates that can be added to Photoshop.
You can use these for maximum compatibility.
