Hi all,

I am new to Smugmug and have a quick question regarding IPTC information. I have placed information in my images in the IPTC Headline and Caption panels. When I upload the images to Smugmug I want at least the IPTC Caption information to show as my photo comments.

Question is, how do I instruct Smugmug to extract the IPTC information and use it for the comments?

Thanks

Emailed support, a sample pic was requested, but here is what I found:

"Thanks for the quick response. I was ready to send you a file as a sample . . . however, I double checked for the comments in the IPTC field by opening the image with Irfanview, and the fields were blank. Then I checked the image IPTC again with the program that I used to write the IPTC information (Arles Image Web Creator) and the fields did contain information. Very odd, so . . . I opened the image again in Irfanview and wrote the IPTC comments again using Irfanview.

I just uploaded the images again, the ones where I used Irfanview to write the IPTC comments, and all works fine."
