Mirco Vacca 78 Posted November 19, 2013 Hello again, Do you use the field "Location and date"? I put the location in my caption so i was wondering if it makes sense to also add it in the location field. What do you think? Thanks. Mirco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYCat 1,590 Posted November 19, 2013 The location field is no longer searchable so put it in the caption if it is important. I don't think you need to fill in the location field. I'm in the habit of doing it from before when it was searchable. Paulette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Jenkins 55 Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks Paulette, I have been religiously completing this field. No longer! nj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Todd 280 Posted November 19, 2013 I always complete the location just for the record and it may change to be searchable again in the future. I only put it in the caption if I think it may be relevant in a search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dov makabaw 129 Posted November 19, 2013 I still fill in the location field for my own puposes. The date field populates itself so that's not an issue. dov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losdemas 1,975 Posted November 19, 2013 I still fill in the location field for my own puposes. The date field populates itself so that's not an issue. dov Many people choose to remove the info from the date field, though, or to manually enter a year only. I imagine that they don't wish to 'age' their photos with the idea that this keeps them fresh from a sales point of view. Personally, I think that buyers will use the 'new' tab if they want to find images that are less likely to have licensed elsewhere. Should they be on the lookout for images from a certain time period, then the IPTC date info will be useful to them. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
