Aperture 3: Some embedded IPTC metadata may not import from DNG, TIFF, or JPEG images with Mac OS X v10.5

Products Affected

Aperture 3.x, Mac OS X 10.5

Symptoms

When you import DNG, TIFF, or JPEG images that contain embedded IPTC metadata, some of the metadata does not import:

  • Creator: Address, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Phone, Email, and Web
  • IPTC Subject Code
  • Date Created
  • Intellectual Genre
  • IPTC Scene
  • Location
  • Country Code
  • Usage Terms

Resolution

Mac OS X v10.5 does not support importing all embedded IPTC metadata fields with Aperture 3. All IPTC metadata can be imported from images with XMP sidecar files with Aperture 3 on Mac OS X v10.5. This issue does not occur on Mac OS X v10.6.
