Cameras that support IPTC data provide a way to store text data in raw images. This data is useful to photographers who transmit images for publication and want to provide information such as time, location, caption, credit, and copyright notices.
Editing IPTC Information Bibble accesses the IPTC data associated with an image and provides an interface for editing the data. Bibble saves IPTC data in a settings file. When the image is output, the IPTC data in the settings file is merged with the output file. To edit IPTC data:
Note: many of the text fields include a drop-down menu that holds common data entries for the given field.
