[QUOTE="dolanosa, post: 1217927, member: 198090"] Hi all, Newly transferred to the OSX system and I have a question for the gurus and the pundits regarding metadata transfer. I have a bunch of family pictures (JPG) from my PC (Windoze XP, NTFS). I used the properties command to add comments and descriptions, edit dates, etc. I then transferred them to the iMac and found that all my edits are now gone. Using 'get info' showed nothing except for the EXIF data but no comments or descriptions made in the PC edit. I then imported them to iPhoto and tried to see if the information was there. There was none. The transfer to the Mac was done through an external HD with NTFS formatting. Since I still have the PC with the original photos, I still have access to the originals. Is there a way for me to transfer the metadata I added to the files and show in the Mac? I have done this to hundreds of family photos dating back a few years and I don't want to start all over again. Please help. Thank you. Butch [/QUOTE]
