METAmachine Publisher Description

METAmachine is an inexpensive, simplified browsing utility program that streamlines the important process of adding keywords, licenses and other essential metadata to images, either individually or in batches. METAmachine reads and writes XMP formatted metadata in TIFF, JPEG, PSD and DNG images.METAmachine can be used to write a complete set of the IPTC standard metadata into images. It can also be used to add copyright and contact information or only licensing terms, leaving unaltered all other metadata already in the images.METAmachine is compatible with all XMP compliant DAM software and can become a simple step in the work flow for any combination of programs. Writing metadata is as simple as dragging images from the Desktop or from a compatible program such as Adobe Bridge, either one at a time or in batches, onto a target area where the metadata is added. Images themselves are not moved or opened and re-saved so there is no destructive recompression involved. It amounts to a highly streamlined, efficient and accurate process that greatly simplifies the important process of identifying and tracking images in formats understood by all.METAmachine has Copyright Protection options built in that prevent overwriting any existing copyright information in images. METAmachine is the only metadata writing software in full compliance with the Meta Manifesto of the Stock Artists Alliance.Built into the software is HindSight's highly praised, extremely fast, hierarchical keywording system and a license constructor. Both include usable sample data, but can be modified as necessary to fit the end-user's needs. The keywording now includes a 1,400 word multi-language thesaurus."I have previously used Photo Mechanic, iView Media Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Aperture for writing metadata. While adequate, none of them come up to the ease of use of this new software. I love it." states Richard Wesigrau, photographer, author and former Executive Director of the American Society of Media Photographers.


OS: PPC/Intel
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
Whats new:
Version 1.2: Before reading metadata in an image, the program now confirms your intent to replace any displayed data. This prevents accidental replacement if you intend to write, but drag to the wrong target. Added IPTC Subject Codes in English, French, German and Spanish. These effectively create a 1,400 word multi-language thesaurus to keyword in any combination of these languages simultaneously. Added a Keyword Converter to convert the third-party "Controlled Vocabulary" keywords for use by METAmachine. The name of the currently loaded set of keywords is "remembered" to eliminate re-entering the name when saving the set. Added a Write No Use License checkbox to the META Basics window as a convenient shortcut when no usage is being assigned. Fixed a bug that could cause all METAmachine cells to empty when writing to an image that had no previous metadata. Other internal changes to improve performance. Fixed a grievous error in the PDF documentation that caused some illustrations to be re-used repeatedly instead of the intended illustrations. Unregistered demo now writes to one image at a time. Registered demo runs without restrictions for 21 days.
