iPhoto 6.0 Stopped Importing IPTC/XMP Keywords

[Dembo]

Man... this Mac thing is starting to annoy me - iPhoto just stopped importing IPTC/XMP tags:

I tag my pictures using Adobe's Bridge but I like to keep some pictures on my iPod so I started experimenting with iPhoto. It used to work fairly well: Simply import pictures into iPhoto and the IPTC/XMP keywords appeard.

However, it just stopped working for whatever reason.

I deleted my iPhoto library and imported a few pictures that used to get imported with their keywords but no success. Any ideas what might be going on here? I am using iPhoto 6.0.6 (322).

Not happy...

Turns out that Adobe's Bridge is the evildoer:

Keywords entered using Adobe Bridge 2.1 will not get imported into iPhoto 6.0.6 - at least not for me

I guess I'll downgrade Bridge for now and see whether it starts working again.

Cheers,
Christian

I just keep entertaining myself in this thread.

I used an old friend from the Windows side to assist me with this: Phil Harvey's exiftool.

It looks like Adobe's Bridge writes the keywords into the "Subject" part of the XMP/IPTC metadata. iPhoto looks for it in the "Keywords" part. This is very easy to fix using exiftool by running something like ("exiftool -update_original '-subject>+keywords' .").

However, this just got my 50% to where I wanted to be: Landscape pictures import correctly (i.e. keywords are transfered to iPhoto), portrait pictures will not take their keywords with them (aaaaaargh....).

A possible - but horrible - workaround seems to re-save every image in Photoshop: After doing so all keywords are getting recognized by iPhoto.

Not good, not good...
