Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…
The standards organisation IPTC has just published the results of a test of commonly available software to find out how effective different tools are in writing, editing and reading rights data in an image.
I’m pleased to see that Photo Supreme, the software I use for managing my photos, has come out well.

I’m surprised to see GeoSetter only got a yellow. And Photoshop Elements that’s an absolute pain to use (I guess they weren’t counting that part) got a green+.
Yes, I thought that Geosetter handled all the Rights fields, at least in Core (it doesn’t handle the Plus and Extension standards)… Hmm. And I agree about PE being a pain to use. But the IPTC is only considering whether the tools handle their fields…
I *think* that Geosetter is missing the “Usage terms” field, which is why it only gets a yellow light…
I do most of my work with Photo Mechanic and that got high marks too. For my purposes, anyway, GeoSetter is more than sufficient.
