Mark, thanks for the lead. A bit out of my depth but It will keep the little gray cells green to get this working.

The actual data for IPTC (and XMP) are 'applications of XML' (meaning they are just XML!) so you could construct the XML in LiveCode then use shell() to call exiv2 to embed it the image file (see http://exiv2.org and http://www.exiv2.org/manpage.html). It would be more than possible to write a LiveCode Script library which extracts and embeds such things into image files - helpfully the process to do so has already been mapped out by the exiv2 project (e.g. http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/wiki/The_Metadata_in_JPEG_files) - although that will require a fair bit of 'bit bashing' to do.
