When the file is transferred to a PC under Windows 8.1 and opened in the default Photo Viewer, the keywords are still visible in the Photo Properties window: Photo properties in Windows Photo Viewer shows the keywords added in the Mac Inspector. It’s very minimal as far as metadata, but it’s better than nothing: Add keywords individually using the Inspector option under Tools in Mac Preview. Each keyword must be added individually by clicking on the + and then typing the keyword. However, by opening the photo in Preview and then accessing the Inspector / More Info (Command-I), keywords can be added under the Keywords tab, as clunky as this process may be. You can change the filename and add comments.
Looking at the Spotlight window you see that there aren’t too many places for data. It isn’t a place for what we think of as photo keywords. The Add Tag window adds the new color-label Yosemite system-wide tags such as Work, Home, Urgent, etc. To access photo metadata, select a photo and click Get Info or Command-I. The problem may lie not so much in the metadata itself, it’s probably there but, like the meat in a “Double-Double Animal Style” burger” it might just be hidden under all the special extras.Īfter reading How to Add Photo Metadata Without Special Software, Cat asked if the metadata added to my photo in Apple Mac Spotlight would be viewable on a Windows computer in the Photo Viewer app. Let’s see. When you start adding metadata to files, you quickly discover that sometimes it hitchhikes along and sometimes it stays home or hidden. You’d think that metadata - data about data - would be something “everywhere that photo went, the data was sure to go.” Not so.
