Digital Outback Photo have published the second in a series of articles metadata and the role that it plays in photography. The latest article looks at IPTC metadata.

“IPTC metadata is a very important part of my workflow, since it allows me to specify my own metadata for my images and makes it easier to retrieve images once they are catalogued. As long as the individual software programs that you use in your workflow do not strip your IPTC metadata, there’s nothing that should prevent you from adopting IPTC metadata support, if you have not done so yet.”
