What you're dealing with there is what's called IPTC info which is a standard for annotating photos with standard fields. There actually is no such thing as an IPTC field called "Description". Legacy is simply out of whack with the standard so I don't think there's any way to do what you're asking. JL http://www.jgen.ws/jlog
