Search and replace IPTC in Bridge....

[SushiEater]

There is an action for Adobe Bridge I found to "search and replace" IPTC in Description field. But it only works in Description. I need an action like that for Headline and Keywords too. The only other software I know that does that is a PhotoMechanic but I only need search and replace and not willing to pay $150 just for that. Besides, it would be more convenient to do it in Bridge anyway.

Anyone here know any other action, software?

TIA

Search for IPTC editors—there are lots of them on the web.

I use a stand-alone program that can batch-prices both IPTC and EXIF data http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Graphics/Exif-Editor.shtml I use a professional retoucher and change the IPTC/EXIF as needed.

I am on Windows and this editor is for MAC. But thank you.

Yes, I already tried more than 20 of editors that can edit but I need global search and replace, not just one file at the time.

There is a add-on for Bridge written in java script but it only works on Description. I need at least that and Keywords and Headline.

The reason for it is that if there is something different between all three fields the Bridge shows these fields as having "multiple values" and there is no way to replace one word then.

Unfortunately I am not a programmer.

After more than a week of searching I found a script written by Paul Riggott for Adobe Bridge that does exactly that. It doesn't work too good or very convenient but better than nothing. It doesn't select all fields at once for example. And it needs to be restarted every edit. But it works on RAW.
