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 savings grow.

Standard XMP MetaGrove dialog examples:
  PLUS
  IPTC Photo Metadata
  PRISM DIM

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.
  MetaGrove for Photoshop $229.00
  System requirements:
  Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS2
  Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard

  • Help Tags and Tool Tips. Mouse-over accessible explanation fields increase the speed and accuracy of metadata capture.
  • Required Fields. Optional required fields ensure that all essential metadata is captured.
  • Auto-Complete. Fields with commonly used values are automatically filled with just a few keystrokes, increasing the consistency, speed and accuracy of metadata capture.
  • Dynamic Data Support. Optionally query a web server to complete fields based upon the contents other fields in the panel.
  • Default Values. A optional default value can be specified for each field in the dialog.
  • Data Validation. Default, and optional additional, validation is evaluated as the user completes a field entry. An alert message advises correction details. Invalid metadata is never saved.
