IPTC group

These variables access embedded metadata fields in the IPTC format (synchronized with Adobe XMP). The third column indicates the XMP location path for the variable in the XMP data model. The Iptc4xmpCore prefix has been omitted in the location paths.

The metadata fields accessed by the variables in this table can be viewed and edited using the File > File Info... dialog box in Adobe Creative Suite applications. The fourth column indicates the label of the field that corresponds to each variable.

(*) The Iptc4xmpCore prefix has been omitted in the location paths.
