XMP/IPTC Presets
XMP/IPTC presets enable you to create different sets of XMP/IPTC data that can then be applied to either a
single image or to a group of images.
Available Presets
Presets that you create or save within Capture NX 2 will be displayed within the “Available Presets” window.
You can click on any of the available presets to display the contents in the field editor, duplicate the preset
using the Duplicate button, or delete the preset using the Delete button. To create a new preset, either
save a preset using the Save XMP/IPTC Preset option in the Batch menu, or click on the New button at
the bottom of the “Available Presets” window.
Field Editor
The field editor displays all of the available fields and contents for an XMP/IPTC preset. Enter the values you
would like to automatically apply through the XMP/IPTC preset. After entering a value, the checkbox for that
field as well as for the section will be turned on. Only those fields with a checkbox next to them will be
added to an image when the XMP/IPTC preset is applied to an image or group of images.
To prevent a field from being modified by the XMP/IPTC preset, uncheck the box for that field.
To clear a field in an image or group of images, delete the content of that field in the field editor and check
the box. This will result in a blank field with a checkbox next to it, indicating that when this XMP/IPTC preset
is applied to an image, that image will have a blank field for the corresponding field. This is helpful if you
would like to clear away one or more XMP/IPTC fields in an image or group of images.
