Importing Photoshop metadata

  • I’m wondering if anyone knows of a way to get Photoshop metadata to automatically populate into the “Description” box for images uploaded to the WP Media Library.

    Seems to me at one point it WAS automatically doing this — then it just stopped. (I am using WP 3.5.1 and Photoshop CS4)

    My site is https://www.TheEquestrianNews.com.

    The site is heavy on images, and I am scrupulous about filling in the metadata fields in Photoshop — title, author description, etc… — because I find the more detail provided the better one’s search returns. And boy is it a painful time-suck to then enter the same data AGAIN in WP (or even to cut-and-paste).

    It seems Photoshop data is encoded as a combination IPTC and XMP. (I just did a search on “wordpress and IPTC XMP” to see if it reads those files, and found this, which COULD be the answer to all my problems! https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photo-tools-image-taxonomies/ )

    I will explore that plug-in, but if anyone has any further input to offer, please let me know. Thanks!
