Title: AI Tags > IPTC Metadata / Content
Post by: PhotoQUEST.uk on April 24, 2025, 08:53:09 PM
Hi all, newbie here.

Mario has been a saint and got me going. I'm a sports shooter hobbyist, and he ability to use AI to 'pull out' race numbers and insert those numbers into metadata is awesome. Thats all working and I now have Race Numbers in 'AI Tags'.

Unfortunately, my RAW Editor - DXO Photolans, can't 'see' the AI Tags. So my question:

Such thats I can search the metadata in DXO and filter by Race Number - is there a way to 'insert' the AI Tag into, say, IPTC Metadata - say "Content Section", say "Category" ...?

Many thanks in advance !!!

You control where you store the content of Traits. You can  either store them in user-defined AI Tags or you store them in regular XMP tags. User-defined AI tags are maintained in the IMatch database but not written to the image or XMP sidecar file.

This allows you to separate between tag data you consider "internal" and "public". Or to separate AI-made from human-made content.

You specify the target tag for traits in the trait editor. Here is a "Headline" trait I usually use, and I store it in the official XMP headline tag:

The same is true for the three standard prompts, you can either store them in normal XMP tags (description / hierarchical keywords) to separate AI-generated content from human-made content by storing the data into AI tags.
