Thanks to all our chats here on the newsletter, i knwo the difference between EXIF, IPTC and the "normal" windows attributes (wether they ARE real attributes or not).
EXIF as standard for technical data. I can't and change them and don't want to change them. IPTC is for the pro's. We work with IPTC-Data in my Newspaper's image department. Windows attributes could be fine for private Use. Sharing pictures with friends who aren't able to read IPTC.
