What I need:

A tool that allows me to copy content from one IPTC field into another one for a huge number of files.

Reason for that is the upload process of Featurepics. I just started with them (thought I give them a try, after all they pay 70% commission and should be supported if only for that!) and uploaded a view files to see how the upload works.
And I found that they expect the image title in a different field than I have it in. As this prevents me from using their bulk submit tool, I would have to either submit every file with several mouseclicks on their site or copy the image title into the right field manually before uploading.
As I am talking about more than 800 files, I'd love to have a tool that allows me to do that update in one batch.

Anyone knows something like this?

Thanks for your ideas!

dirkr,

It's curious, I never had a problem with IPTC in FP.  WHat do you use and what filed are you putting the title?

Anyway, I don't know the tool you are looking for, but I suppose you can use their batch edition tool.  At least for a group of images with the same title, I suppose this would work.  I can't tell for my own experience, as I've only used the batch edition tool for prices.

Hmm, I use Exifer and I know you can have it copy some fields from other fields.  I don't think however you can make this automatically.

Hi there - best tool around if you can get hold of it is Fotostation. Lot's of pro's use if for batch editing large numbers of images. you can add, append rename etc etc.

It's very simple to use, however it is a bit costly.

Just a thuoght

Problem solved, I found ExifTool. A very powerful command line tool, took me some minutes reading to understand what it is capable of - and then the whole deal was done with a simple command line within seconds!

I use Cushy Stock and I am very happy with it http://cushystock.com/
