Metadata Templates

To assist in editing the user metadata of multiple images, the Metadata Manager allows metadata templates to be saved and applied to one or more images. A metadata template contains all of the tags and values that you wish to apply to a given image or images.

Metadata templates are created, edited, saved, retrieved and applied in the Metadata Template Editor.
