Which IPTC/Exif tag for caption

purelucid

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I've searched with no luck. I need to know EXACTLY which IPTC/Exif tags to fill for keywords and captions. I'm on Linux and use Exiftool to edit my tags so every possible tag is available to me, including several variations of "*caption*" and "*keywords*".

TIA,
Tubbs

I don't know Exiftool but in Adobe Bridge, I put my keywords in the keyword field, and captions in the caption (description) field.

I hope this helps!

you could always test it out When you figure it out let us know so that others can benefit from your findings

And I should add, that these do carry over to the SmugMug Gallery just fine.

OK, you challenge, I deliver,
exiftool -iptc:keywords="keywords here" filename
exiftool -iptc:caption-abstract="caption here" filename

Thanks,
