Meta data

[PeterDreuning]

Love C1 for my photo's but fill in the metadata is a nightmare.
Is there one easy way to do it or is everybody using a different program to do the job ?

I used to use the templates in C1 but since they were altered/removed (can't remember which as it's a long time ago) I now use Bridge.

Whether convenient or not, it's rather easy. Choose the Metadata tab and then 'Manage and apply Metadata presets' (the small button top right of the pane). You'd first have to define a preset though.

I am at a loss here. I don't see the Manage & apply Metadata presets icon/button. I have looked at the user guide, google search and have seen that I can even create a "Style Preset" as well as a "Metadata Preset" but I don't want to apply a Style or Metdata every time or at the end of the shooting day to all images.

I am using Capture 6.4.4

I have created a Metadata Template that adds copyright info, email address and usage, that is what I would like to add.

I would like to add this information AT CAPTURE when I shoot with a Canon 5d mark iii tethered.

Thanks,

I'm indeed talking about the Meta data preset.

While not most optimal perhaps, it's rather easy to apply it. After your day's shooting, select all and apply preset. Shouldn't be that hard.

Perhaps more savvy C1 users can jump in here, i personally use Media Pro for this.

"After your day's shooting, select all and apply preset. Shouldn't be that hard."

Right, Right, you are correct and I have been doing that BUT.... I sometimes forget at the End of the day

Thanks!

I see and fair point. It is rather easy to forget this in this way, better automatically applied. But, for a workaround it isn't that bad.

You could still apply later as well, but maybe you've handed over your pics to your customer without copyright info etc. That wouldn't be so nice.

Good luck trying to remember it each shoot !

You can have a metadata preset applied automatically during import and during tethering with CO Pro 6.

Paul,

Respectfully, how?

[Paul_Steunebrink]

Tethering: Next Capture Adjustments tool (Capture tool tab), All Other field > Defaults with Styles

Import: Import Images dialog, Adjustments section, Styles > select your style or preset

Paul,

Thank you for your help on the tethering. I see how to do it now.

My last issue (this is software related) is that typically I have under the Next Capture Adjustments Panel: All Other set to "Copy from Last" this way when I include a grey card in the first frame I can do a custom white balance, then remove the grey card and start shooting. It will remember my white balance for each additional frame.

When I choose Defaults with Styles, I can now include my Style with the Copyright info but not the custom white balance from that first frame. It seams that I would need to make that custom white balance and include copyright information in a New Style every custom white balance. I think that this would be a new feature add and not a setting.

Thanks for your help!
