So I'm looking at the Graphic Converter image editor.
My one and only real interest in the program is its IPTC captioning
features.
My question though is that when I go to save a copy to JPG there are a
whole lot more options than I am familiar with. Photoshop doesn't --
to my knowledge -- give as many options as Graphic Converter.
Is anyone here familiar with the program? What do all those extra
options mean and which do I need in order to save the highest quality
jpg for sending out for printing?
I don't know what options you're referring to. GC is a darn good tool
for light editing work, but I don't think it's as powerful and useful
as Photoshop Elements, Lightroom 2 or Photoshop CSx in this regard.
If metadata editing is your primary interest, Photoshop CS2 and later
come with a companion application called Bridge which is has more
metadata editing features for IPTC than Graphic Converter.
If you want to learn about International Press Telecommunications
Council metadata, what all of it is and how it is defined, this is the
place to go:

They list a good number of IPTC compatible applications too:
