[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1262955"] I don't KNOW the answer for certain, but I *believe* that you will need to convert the XMP tags to IPTC before iPhoto will know what to do with them. This is because although XMP is an open format, it is not an open standard. You have a couple of options here, I think: my understanding is that Picasa can read the tags correctly as-is, so you might opt to use that instead of iPhoto. Alternatively, you could use EXIFtool to convert the tags to IPTC metadata. Here's a video that illustrates this technique: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kkkovDnwSI]YouTube - ExifTool: convert XMP to IPTC (WINDOWS)[/url] [/QUOTE]
