0018 Overview
0019 --------
0020 
0021 The Metadata Editor is a tool for adding and editing Exif, IPTC, or XMP metadata attached to an image.
0022 
0023 Image metadata is textual information that can be attached to digital images in order to annotate, describe and categorize them. This information is useful for searching and indexing images and for accessibility services. There are three standard formats in which image metadata can be stored: Exif, IPTC and XMP. They concentrate on different properties of the image and are used for different purposes. digiKam provides tools for viewing and editing image metadata in all these formats.
0024 
0025 The application offers metadata editing tools available through the :menuselection:`Item --> Edit Metadata` menu entry. The metadata editor conveniently arranges all metadata into sections for each kind of metadata chunk, making it easier to find and edit specific entries. For example, to edit hardware-related information, switch to the **Device** section. Here you can modify device manufacturer, device model, exposure-related settings, and other information.

0031     The Edit Metadata Tool Dialog
0032 
0033 In addition to Exif, IPTC and XMP formats are supported, so you can perform the described actions on metadata stored in these metadata chunks as for Exif. Remember that Exif is dedicated to store camera information, where IPTC and XMP are more used to store post-process text information such as rights management. So, it is not recommended to edit the metadata injected by the camera that took the photograph; on the other hand, you can add information about the author, copyright, etc. See description of supported text entries in :ref:`DAM Section <authorship_copyright>` of this manual.
0034 
0035 You can synchronize some specific metadata entries from one chunk to another one, as for example the comments which is available in Exif, IPTC, and XMP as separate entries. Mark the check boxes corresponding to the entries you wish to copy from one format to another.
0036 
0037 If you select many items from the icon-view, the metadata editor dialog allow to process the selection. With the **Previous** and **Next** buttons, you can navigate between items. The current filename and the index in the selection are given on the dialog title. A preview of current item is visible on the dialog header from the top.
0038 
0039 .. caution::
0040 
0041     Synchronizing metadata may produce undesired results because Exif is limited to ASCII character-set.
