Can Author Properties be Edited ?

[drg]

Hi All,

I would like to know if it is possible to edit the properties of one's pictures. eg. Right click on any of your pictures. Select properties, then click the summery tab. In there you will see all the info about the pic. Is it possible to put your name in the authors section?

When you click on the Summary tab, got to Simple as opposed to the Advanced and you should be able to then move the cursor with the mouse to the author field and edit accordingly. The box Apply must be used or the info is lost when exiting the properties box.

My avatar is so marked as are some of my posted files.

If you are using Irfanview follow the instructions below to edit the author field:

1) Open a picture in the program
2) Click on the word Image on the top menu
3) Select the word Information
4) It will come up with a box containing information produced by your camera when you took the shot. On the bottom there is a box entitled IPTC info click that
5) The dialog box that appears now is where you would enter the information that you want to attach to the file. Copyright info, keywords, etc.


Hope that helps.

Hi - I see this is an old post so I don't know if it's still being monitored, but thought I would try :-) Regarding the authoring - can this be done for batches of photos in lieu of one by one? I'm new to this forum, will edit profile later.
