Variables exported from Mac's Photos.app to XMP
There is an option to "Export IPTXC as XMP" when you export photos from Mac's Photos.app by selecting File>Export>Export Unmodified Original...
Variables in XMP is useful for arranging photos. but what are they?
I have tinkered with variables on Photos and by using exiftool to map them onto those in XMP files. Here is the correspondence table. Information edited on Photos is prioritized over EXIF metadata.
XMP | Photos.app | EXIF |
---|---|---|
dc:title | Title | Title |
photoshop:DateCreated | Date and time | Date/Time Original |
exif:GPSTimeStamp | - | Date/Time Original |
dc:description | Caption | Image Description |
rdf:li | Keyword, People | ? |
exif:GPSLongitude exif:GPSLongitudeRef exif:GPSLatitude exif:GPSLatitudeRef | Location | GPS information |
