MetaGrove provides intuitive, high-fidelity metadata capture via a menu item directly within Photoshop.

Update the metadata while the image file is already open in Photoshop, saving the "locate, open, and save" overheads incurred with a seperate metadata-only application. As the number and size of the image files grow, the time saved grows.

Standard XMP MetaGrove dialog examples:

  IPTC Photo Metadata

Enterprises can implement custom schema properties and MetaGrove dialogs with the companion MetaGrove Developer which take advantage of the full depth of XMP's capability to match the natural organization of their metadata.

Available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
