Writing IPTC Information to a Master
One frequent question people have is what happens to all their metadata if Apple stops support-
ing Aperture down the road? Aperture 3 provides a command that lets you embed your IPTC
metadata into a master file. To use this command, select your images and choose Metadata
➪
Write
IPTC Metadata to Master.
Write IPTC Metadata to Master requires Mac OS X 10.6. It has no effect on OS X 10.5.
Caution
You might be wondering why you shouldn't use this command on all your images. While it should
work fine most of the time, put simply, RAW was meant to be a read-only type of file. There's a
chance that writing this metadata into the master will make the RAW file unreadable by other
programs. While chances are that you'll be fine, we recommend testing this command with your
RAW files and then making sure you can open that RAW file in another RAW converter before
using this command on multiple images.
