earlier, I decided I would write a HowTo for the Help menu in Photoshop CS.Hello Nigel, There is a way in Photoshop CS, and in fact since I answered this one
I have just finished it! It is very straightforward.
Rod:
PMFJI,
but from my understanding, changing the File Info from the BrowserI thought that you might have something here, so I checked my preferences and created another metadata template. Yes, it created an XMP sidecar file, but I located this and binned it before opening the file to see whether the copyright symbol was preserved and the File Info data - they seemed durable to me, suggesting the info was embedded within the metadata header of the file as well as the sidecar.
File menu is not "durable", as this only changes the "sidecar" XMP data.
This sidecar data can accidentally get clipped off when moving files around
from what I've heard. I believe that it's also not readable until the file
is opened and then resaved(or as Nigel Andrews, mentioned, running an action
and or droplet). Is this your experience?
I am only testing locally here, so if that is flawed perhaps, Russell Williams could go over this in greater depth.
Another thing ...is that the "copyright status" is only readable within photoshop as
it's not a part of the "official" IPTC standard. Thus most imagedatabases
won't see, and or display this field in a database.
You could well be correct here, I honestly don't know.
