File info function


Recommended Posts

One of the key features of Photoshop for photojournalists and photographers who shoot stock is the the file info which allows the photographer to embed information on the image, creator copyright etc. It's the only function that keeps me from migrating completely to Affinity Photo. Would it be possible to include this function in future versions? It would be much appreciated.

You mean EXIF? I recommend using ExifTool.

Unfortunately it isn't comprehensive enough. You can't input keywords, author, or copyright data manually.

 

I'm not sure which "it" you're referring to, but exiftool can be used to add keywords, author, or copyright information.

You mean ExifTool? Really? This application is considered a standard and the most comprehensive tool for managing EXIF information. It is also used by Affinity applications themselves.

This is possibly something that will be part of the rumoured Affinity 'Digital Asset Management' software, which will possibly have Adobe Bridge like features.  However I don't know when they will be releasing this; I expect Affinity Publisher for iPad is next on their to-do list.
