I like to submit photos to stock sites but one of the drawbacks was not having any easy way to make my keywords IPTC so that I could upload them with my photo and save time. Well Apple has this little Script called "Caption Buddy" You select you photo and you have a seperate little window in which to write a title and keywords. You then go to the top enbed the infor to the photo and convert it to IPTC it works perfect! I uploaded to the site that accept IPTC and it was all there. I had to move it from Description to Keywords but that was easy.
Hope this helps someone! I am using iPhoto 6.02 on 10.3.9
PowerMac G4, Dose this app still work on Intel Macs?

You don't have some flavor of Photoshop? The functionality is built right into the program.

I have Photoshop Elements 3 but I dont not have to do into it to often for a lot of my stock. iPhoto has decent and easy tools for adjustments on my RAW files which I enjoy shooting. How do I do it in PSE 3? If you don'tmind

I have CS2 but from what I understand the information is entered in the Properties Palette and applied via File > Write Tag Info to Files in PSE3.

pixvue is the best I tried.

I use Exifer, for some reason I prefer it to Pixvue (which creates some new "right button click" options and stops showing the things that appeared before when I had the cursor over a file).

Unfortuately I tend to type my keywords in a stream of consciousness in notepad (for safe keeping) and then copy and paste into my Pixvue. When I tried don't that in Exifier, it refused to acknowlege the commas so the keywords became a very long keyword.
