This software simplifies the task of adding or editing keywords, licenses and other important metadata in images with a metadata browser.
METAmachine reads and writes XMP formatted metadata into a range of image types, including TIFF, JPEG, PSD and DNG. The beauty of this software is that it operates without opening or re-saving images, which means there's no destructive recompression involved. Additionally, METAmachine has a Copyright Protection option that prevents any existing copyright information from being overwritten.
But these are just the beginning of the software's many useful features. When using METAmachine, you have the option to write out a complete set of IPTC standard metadata into your images. Conversely, if you only need to write your copyright and contact information, or licenses, you can do that too - and all other metadata already present in the images will remain unaltered.
The only downside to METAmachine is that it doesn't allow the user to write metadata to images in the demo version. However, this limitation is a minor one when weighed against the benefits that the software provides. So if you're someone who works with images regularly and wants to streamline your workflow, consider giving METAmachine a try.
