Individual metadata

Sometimes you want to make individual metadata for some photos. Below the global metadata settings you have this possibility where you see all the photos individually. All metadata you can edit in the global settings you can edit for individual photos.

You can choose to present the photos in two ways: 1. As an overview, the photos presents as thumbnails and you choose which photo you want to edit by clicking on it. 2. Individual, every photo is already expanded so the input field for the metadata is visible directly

Photo overview

When you have chosen one photo by clicking on it or using enter, the individual settings will be opened below the selected photo.

Individual

If you choose the individual tab, all the photos are already opened.

If you edit one metadata that earlier was the same on all photos, and therefore has a value in the global settings, this field will after your individual setting has the text about individual metadata exists in the global settings. In the global settings, only the metadata that are the same on all photos are displayed.

Photographer

If you have a name of a photographer on the metadata for the image, this photographers name will be stored in the field Original Photographer (1). This name will also be stored as the concept Author (2). This will do, that when you use this photo in an article, this name will be set as Byline for the photo.

The normal behavior of all metadata concepts (Authors, Tags, Categories etc) is that each concept is persistent and unique. Since all photographers are not created as concepts, we can handle authors in two different ways:

• Persistent concepts

• Strings of text - such data that is not persistent or unique, but only “text”. These are displayed with a red frame
