Two IPTC Metadata Editors in Photo Mechanic - When to use each one

This video is a deep dive on the two IPTC editors in Photo Mechanic - the "normal" metadata editor and the "template" editor. If you use both of them in concert, you can do some very cool, time saving, metadata moves.

Carl, thanks for your efforts and superb explanation videos.
I'm evaluating PM, and the videos have been a great help to grasp the not-so-straight-forward PM, and help me make the descision to buy or not.

This video stopped me from abandoning Photo mechanic! I only bought it recently, but the Metadata editor was just wiping out previous work done. That frustration has gone now! Thanks!

You're very welcome!

Carl, another excellent video. I've learned a lot about metadata from your UA-cam channel. Thank you!

[@remektekmedia6641]

EXCELLENT! Thank you SO much for this clear and educational video on the IPTC editors.

[@furgawdsake8836]

Great job! You've made some complex functions quite simple to understand. You're a great communicator.
Thank You!

[@DavidComdico]

Incredibly thorough and informative. Thanks.

Many thanks for this very clear explanation. Great tips for a newbie just getting to grips with the possibilities of PM Plus starting to get lost in a largish collection of photos without metadata across Lightroom and Capture One catalogs. One little thing...to change some of the menu items in Windows it's the Shift key not the Alt key that does it...all good I found my way there!

[@carlseibert9015]

Many thanks. I don't get to use the Windows version much. I'll make a point to use that machine to do some for-real work, to reaquaint myself with that version of Photo Mechanic.

This is exceptionally useful to me. Thank you very much.

Hey Carl, thank you for all your informative video's about Photo Mechanic. I have PM 6 and now using a trial version of plus. How do you get the meta data panel in black mode? I can't figure it out.
Greetings from Laos.

It's on the Preferences > Accessibility page. There's a "Dark Mode" button.
