Metadata Panels Plugin
The Metadata Panels plugin extends the Metadata section within Lightroom's Library module. It adds a number of pre-defined metadata layouts (tagsets) that configure how much of an image or video's metadata is visible at a time. These new layouts have been designed to help focus on the important metadata when photographers are performing key tasks such as managing copyright and model releases for their digital assets.
The plugin implements the following tagsets for Lightroom 2 and above:
Creator | Adds a new tagset for maintaining information about the contributors to an image or video and the status of their copyright. |
Default (Extended) | Extends the standard ‘Default‘ tagset with additional IPTC location and IPTC Extension fields |
Find Similar | Adds a new tagset for finding photos sharing the same metadata values as the current image |
Location (Extended) | Extends the standard ‘Location" tagset with the relevant IPTC Extension fields and Jeffrey Friedl’s GPS plugin fields |
Workflow | Adds a new tagset for utilising the workflow related IPTC and IPTC Extension fields. |
It also implements the following tagsets for Lightroom 3 and above:
EXIF and IPTC (Extended) | Extends the ‘EXIF and IPTC‘ tagset to include the new IPTC Extension fields |
IPTC (Extended) | Extends the ‘IPTC‘ tagset to include the new IPTC Extension fields |
People | Adds a new tagset for working with details of people/models and organisations visible within an image or video. |
Releases | Adds a new tagset for working with model and other releases relevant to the image or video. |
It also implements the following tagsets for Lightroom 4 and above:
Audio Only | Adds a new tagset for working with only the audio aspects of a video |
Video (Extended) | Extends the ‘Video‘ tagset to include other relevant EXIF and IPTC fields |
Video Only | Adds a new tagset for working with only the visual aspects of a video |
This plugin makes use of the new fields introduced by each version of Lightroom to enhance existing as well as add new tagsets. For example, the Lightroom 2 compatible Default (Extended) tagset will offer support for a greater range of metadata when the plugin is run within Lightroom 3 or later.
