Test using ITPC data in Adobe Photoelements

About ITPC

1. Article about ITPC Metadata
2. Article about ITPC in Adobe Photoelements

Goal Find a way of using ITPC and in best case also be able to get Flickr, Ancestry.com to reuse the information added ==> Store as much information as possible in the electronic picture

Done 

1. 20131223 Added ITPC information using Adobe Photoelements
2. 20131223 Uplod them to Ancestry.com using FTM and web, upload to Flickr
3. 20131225 Read on the message board at Ancestry about ITPC ==>
   FTM's caption = Title
   FTM's date = Date taken
   FTM's description = Comments
4. 20131225 New test setting the metadata i "windows" then it was transferred to Ancestry Caption and Description
   Windows Title -> Exif XPTitle --> FTM Caption
   Windows Comments --> Exif XPComment --> FTM Description
   
   below the attributes seen in Windows Explorer

and in Ancestry.se (Ancestry.com) we get "Bildens namn"/"Picture name" and "Beskrivning"/"Description" populated.

Attributes can also be changed using Microsoft Pro Photo Tools version 2

Lesson learned is that ITPC is a good way of storing information but not every site use that information

Next step
?
