Working with Metadata and Your Digital Photos

Hi Mollie, this video helped a bunch. I am considering Forever for my 22,000 photos, much of which are family photos from the 1800s on. Currently, I had moved them to Adobe Lightroom CC and they are synced to Lightroom on the cloud so that I can have the family access them. VIDEOS are a problem. Lightroom doesn't have a way to move metadata from videos to the files. I'm working with jb Video Metadata as an add-on to do that but have not succeeded yet. Once I have that I am hoping to move to Forever, and I like the fact that they save metadata so that they can be exported anywhere and preserve all that work. I'm concerned about what you said about "Title" in metadata. I have many lengthy titles AND descriptions. Am I going to have to find a way to combine them into one field, "description"?

Until Forever disappears or puts up pay walls your family can not pay.

Word motivated, motivation haunted me since childhood

Does Forever allow you to batch edit metadata? Like change a group of photos all to Christmas of a particular year?

is there any possibilities to add one additional column and add MAC, IP address on that additional column

Some photo viewers do not show metadata, the one that i remember it is Windows Live Photo Gallery but it is not available for the newer Windows, some updates in Windows 10 do not let you to install Windows Live Photo Gallery, thanks God i found the original edition and i use it a lot from a brasilian person and it is in english so that's great

I use Picture Information Extractor from Picmenta, i payed one subscription and i have all the updates, i edit all the Metadata like Exif tags and IPTC tags XMP and also i can correct the time of the Photo and also it will show you how you took a picture, a lot of information such as program mode, white balance settings or lens data, GPS settings etc etc etc

Thank you! I was trying to find a program that would do just that when I found your video. You've saved me a lot of time! It's sad that there is no non-cloud application that can easily read and write tags (other than the OS itself). It would be so nice if we could search for photos containing the tag "Frank Ostrowski" from within a photo management application instead of relying on the OS or specialized tools like ExifTools.

Thanks Mollie! That did help a bunch. I've tried to use Windows explorer to edit the meta data and it is so frustrating. I was over it after only a few photos. Windows hopefully will come up with a way to make this easy and efficient, but it is not here now. I have thousands of photos uploaded and one at a time is too much to even contemplate. Thank you for all the work you are doing to find the best options.
