I really hope someone out there can help me out here because I'm at my wit's end!!!!
I have a bunch of raw files in a folder, these are just pictures I took for a bit of general practice over Christmas.
Now, whilst trying to modify the IPTC Core Fields (basically adding my name and my email address to the pictures), it worked fine for most of the pictures, but for some reason it will not work for the last 20. This is driving me nuts. :(
The first picture which doesn't work was taken literally 2 seconds after the last one which does work. All pictures work perfectly well in Photoshop, I can open them, modify them, save them as jpgs... no problem. But it just won't let me change the metadata. The pencils on the IPTC Core fields are nowhere to be found, the option File>File Info appears greyed out... etc.
The error messages I get:
1. When clicking on any line of the IPTC Core Fields (such as "Creator") =
i "This property cannot be modified".
2. When clicking on the keywords tab and trying to enter keywords =
i "The file Name.CR2 cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
I have scoured the web for help, visited multiple forums... to no avail. It looks like other people are having the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution. I haven't done anything different to those 20 pictures, so I just can't think of a logical answer, it just doesn't make sense!!
I am only starting to catalogue my pictures in the hope of going professional one day and this is extremely discouraging... if anyone out there can help, I'd be ever so grateful. Right now I just feel like pulling my hair out!! :'(
OK, rant over :)
Thanks very much for reading and thanks very, very much in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!
