Subject: Way to batch/globally edit TIFF (file info) tags?

I need to edit the file info tags in my catalog of TIFF files. They all require similar data values, such as copyright info, etc. I'm trying to find a way or 3rd-party tool that would allow me to insert the same text into specific TIFF tag data fields in in one fell swoop. I've got over 100 TIFFs to edit. Unfortunately, I can't find a way in PhotoShop CS3, nor in any 3rd-party app. Does anybody have suggestions?

Thanks.

You can record an action on one TIFF file opening up the File Ino window and enter your values. Then do a File > Automate > Batch on that action.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Hey! It worked like a charm! Thanks dreamer! :)

It probably took a while since TIFF are quite large. But I'm sure it was faster than doing each one manually. Gotta love it. Could also Create Droplets if you do the same thing on a regular basis. Once a Droplet is created you don't even have to have Photoshop opened. You just drag and drop a folder onto the Droplet icon. Photoshop will then open if it's not already open.

Not sure why I didn't think of it but I did now. Since it was all about changing file info, those TIFF images could have been selected in Bridge then go to File > File Info... Fill in or Import the metadata. Since multiple images are selected all will be updated with the new info.

Oh well, it's too late now. Something to think about if it comes up again.

 i was thinking of Bridge too. Though i haven't used Bridge in a while, (used it to view files, but now use Quick Look instead...)

thanks for the quick solution dreamer.

Thanks again for the tips, dreamer. I've accomplished what I needed to for now.
