Probably correct, but the exact fields needed can vary. Personally, I have no use for a 'person in image' field or similar, but the taxonomy fields could be useful :P Also note that exiv2 (or exiftools) are only there to give you access to the metadata within the image, they do not impose the use of specific fields. So remarking on the library Digikam uses is a red herring wrt. this discussion. > A friend who already works for a news paper uses LR and > one default field is Job identifier, so the administration knows where > to send the bill ;). > > Personshowinimage is part of the IPTC extension, but is already inside > XMP too. >From the IPTC web site, I got the impression that one form of IPTC is an XMP namespace. Also, dt will only use the XMP version: sidecars have no room for the original IMM/IPTC format.
