Batch edit IPTC copyright and creator on Mac

Put consistent copyright, creator and credit on a whole shoot, not one file at a time.

Stock submissions, client deliveries and archives all expect the same IPTC copyright notice, creator and credit on every image. Typing it into files individually does not scale, and small inconsistencies between files cause real problems downstream.

Do it in MetaScope

  1. 01

    Select your images in MetaScope

    Bring in the full set of photos that should carry the same rights information.

  2. 02

    Apply a metadata template

    Save your IPTC copyright notice, creator, credit and usage terms as a template (or profile) and apply it to the entire selection at once.

  3. 03

    Write once

    Every file ends up with consistent, standards-correct IPTC copyright fields, written directly into the image.

MetaScope’s templates and keyword rules apply IPTC copyright across a whole shoot, and its built-in controlled vocabularies keep the fields consistent from file to file.
