3/2/2024 0 Comments Photo supreme markup![]() A tool like Affinity Photo for picture improvement (including appropriate picture descriptions through EXIF, ITPC, XML)ģ. A tool like Photomechanic to copy images from a camera, populate automatically some metadata, rename file names, etcĢ. Lightroom tries but is far from perfect.ġ. Personnaly, I see three separate tools in professional image management, rather than an integrated tool. This could become a fouth Affinity Persona. Newspapers and museums use DAMs to extract a single picture out of millions in two clicks. This is a complement, if you have very large quantities of pictures, if you a long term archiving need. to manage large sets of pictures, create folders of your pictures, select pictures, add further descriptions, etc. )Ī DAM (digital asset management) is a different story.ĭAM is used e.g. May be a business deal regarding metadat with Exiftool, XnView or Irfanview would help for providing a robust solution (Serif do not want to re-invent the wheel. It looks like Affinity Photo is using Lensfun for its lens correction. I mean just data entry for these 3 Affinity products I am managing a 30,000+ pictures data base and using a subset of ITPC standards: Caption (text description), Picture taken date, Picture Update date, Keywords, Country, City, GPS location, Picture author, Copyright (rights owner), Copyright notice (text), EventĪffinity Photo and Designer should be able to enter such ITPC data.Īffinity Publisher should be able to register a wide set of PDF Properties. ITPC standards coupled with XMP (a way to describe them in a sidecar file) are very useful. Since the late 1970’s IPTC’s activities have primarily focussed on developing and publishing Industry Standards for the exchange of news data of all common media types.ĮXIF is limited in its ability to describe pictures. The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) was established by a group of news organisations including the Alliance Européenne des Agences de Presse, ANPA (now NAA), FIEJ (now WAN) and the North American News Agencies (a joint committee of Associated Press, Canadian Press and United Press International) to safeguard the telecommunications interests of the World’s Press. IPTC was just implemented by Adobe in their products in the 90's, but the development of these standard started in the 70's. IPTC is an old well established standard, implemented in most image management tools (from freeware to expensive ones) The tl dr version is that full metadata support is much, much more complicated than it might seem. There is also a difference between photo metadata & file system metadata what is provided in the latter & how it is accessed depends on the file system, which different platforms support & structure differently. When it is not, it is provided by a sidecar file, which Affinity currently does not support. Metadata may or may not be embedded in the file. Photographic metadata is usually provided as some combination of EXIF, XMP, & IPTC tagged metadata, but the de facto file system standard for essentially all digital still cameras, DCF (Design rule for Camera File system), while conforming to the EXIF standard also allows for other file formats that are not. One of them is the IPTC standard, which was developed using Adobe's XMP technology. There are several different metadata standards for photographs that are related in complicated ways, some of which conflict with each other in some way. ![]() There are dozens if not hundreds of different standard types of photo metadata & an unlimited number of non-standardized ones. Photoshop has been in development for decades longer than Affinity Photo. But why do we not have this capability by now as Photoshop does!
