Correction: I didn't explain myself clearly. you can't add info to
camera data, so I list the stop on the first pate of file info, usually
in the description box.

I don't fill out all the boxes, but I use file info. For example,
sometimes I want to know what from what PEF file a shot was converted.
The history category of file info provides that info. And of course
the camera data box provides as much info as is available through
metadata. When shooting with a K or M lens, I'll sometimes add the
stop information to camera data, so I have a record of that. The
shutter speed is, of course, recorded in the metadata.

It's a standard for use in by the Newspaper business, I doubt every

manipulate the images prior to publication.

Hi Peter ...
Holy Crap! I went to the File Info (IPTC) in PS and there is a LOT
of
information requested. I'm sure that not all is required, but
there's no
way I'm going to start adding all that information (or even a good
portion
of it) to every photo. That's just too much time and work. Do
people
really spend that much time and add that much information to all
their
photos? Perhaps there's a way to add the info to several photos at
once ...
Thanks for the information, though.

IPTC stands for International Press Telecommunications Council you
can modify this information by
using the
"File->File Info" menu item in Adobe Photoshop 5.5. It's probably
the same in later versions but I don't know that
for sure.

How do you embed key words in EXIF and IPTC? What is IPTC? And
it would
be super if you can refresh my muddled morning mind as to what
EXIF is as
well.
