Metadata Panels

The Metadata Panels plugin extends the Metadata section within Lightroom's Library module. It adds a number of pre-defined metadata layouts (tagsets) that configure how much of an image or video's metadata is visible at a time. These new layouts have been designed to help focus on the important metadata when photographers are performing key tasks such as managing copyright and model releases for their digital assets.

Metadata Panels Lightroom 3 tagset list

The plugin implements the following tagsets for Lightroom 2 and above:

Creator	Adds a new tagset for maintaining information about the contributors to an image or video and the status of their copyright.
Default (Extended)	Extends the standard 'Default' tagset with additional IPTC location and IPTC Extension fields
Location (Extended)	Extends the standard ‘Location" tagset with the relevant IPTC Extension fields and Jeffrey Friedl’s GPS plugin fields
Workflow	Adds a new tagset for utilising the workflow related IPTC and IPTC Extension fields.

It also implements the following tagsets for Lightroom 3 and above:

EXIF and IPTC (Extended)	Extends the 'EXIF and IPTC' tagset to include the new IPTC Extension fields
IPTC (Extended)	Extends the 'IPTC' tagset to include the new IPTC Extension fields
People	Adds a new tagset for working with details of people/models and organisations visible within an image or video.
Releases	Adds a new tagset for working with model and other releases relevant to the image or video.

This plugin makes use of the native support for video files and IPTC Extension fields introduced by Lightroom 3. The Lightroom 2 compatible tagsets will offer support for a greater range of metadata when the plugin is run within Lightroom 3.
