In which metadata fields does Excire Foto write the IPTC and EXIF data?

Excire Foto reads and saves metadata in the common standard fields. The following tables show which technical field belongs to which field in Excire Foto. This helps, for example, if you want to check whether another program such as Adobe Lightroom or Capture One uses the same fields.

The field names follow the notation of the ExifTool program (group:field).

IPTC data

You edit these fields in the metadata editing dialog (right column → Metadata → IPTC data → pencil icon). The last column lists older fields (IPTC-IIM or EXIF) that Excire Foto also takes into account when reading photos.

Note: Excire Foto first saves changes to metadata in the database. They are only written to the image files or XMP sidecar files with the Save metadata command. Whether the data is written directly to the image file or to an XMP file is set in the program settings on the "Metadata" tab.
