Exif data as caption or watermark

  • Hi,

    The pictures in my gallery are from different photographers of which the respective name is saved in the EXIF data (Artist and Copyright). I now would like to show the respective author, either in the caption or as a watermark.

    Any hints how to implement this?

    Thanks

    Hey @fleflo,

    The only fields that NextGEN import to display are title, caption and tags/keywords.

    Those are imported to the corresponding fields for each image.

    A workaround would be to populate the title or the description with the info you want to display before uploadr, then use basic thumbnail’s caption view. See the setting here.

    My experience is that there is a hierarchy in the way fields are filled:

    Alt is displayed when the user hovers over a thumbnail.
    Alt is populated during image upload from the field identified variously as:
    ExifTool fieldname: IPTC > ObjectName
    IrfanView fieldname: IPTC > Document Title
    Photoshop Elements File Info fieldname: IPTC > Status > Title.
    If this first choice field is null, the second choice is to populate Alt from the field used for Title (see next). In this case, Alt and Title will acquire the same data. If the second choice is also null, then the final choice is to populate Alt using the file name with any blanks filled with ‘-‘ or ‘_’ (option)

    Title is displayed when the user clicks on a thumbnail and the image is displayed in a pop-up.
    Title is populated during image upload from the field identified variously as:
    ExifTool fieldname: IPTC > Caption-Abstract
    IrfanView fieldname: IPTC > Caption (Description)
    Photoshop Elements File Info fieldname: IPTC > Content > Description
    If this field is null, the default Title is null.

    Tags is populated during image upload from the field identified variously as:
    ExifTool fieldname: IPTC > Keywords
    IrfanView fieldname: IPTC > Keywords
    Photoshop Elements File Info fieldname: IPTC > Content > Keywords.
    If this field is null, the default Tags is null.

    As noted, you can prefill the EXIF fields as you wish eg, using an EXIF editor tool.
