Title: titel -> caption plugin/tool?
Post by: milo22 on May 17, 2019, 05:52

Hi, I wanna try 123rf. But the bg problem is al my pictures have only titel/keyword metatags. 123rf want caption (description). Is there a solution to automatically copy and paste the titel metatag to caption metatag? for around 1000 pictures  :-\

ExifTool can do that. You can write small scripts to manipulate anything within the IPTC / EXIF data and then run those on any number of images.
Needs some (little) programming skills, but then it is a powerful tool.

I assume you have Lightroom, and a collection for your media...

- Export a CSV file using a third party plugin (I use jbListView).

- Copy the title field to the description field

- In Excel, append a "." to each description, so that they do not match (which would cause rejection).

Or alternatively, use JbSearchReplace.  Copy title to description. Add period to end of all descriptions. -- gets the same result for stock agencies.

using LR - enter caption & title in metadata   and all agencies can pick up the metadata

Stocksubmitter handles this type of thing. It's an option in the account section
