I (and others) initially blamed iView MediaPro <http://www.iview-multimedia.com/> for corrupting caption data but I’m wondering if this really is a Photoshop problem?
The problem specifically is when (for example) iView is used to save metadata back to a file; if that data includes a © copyright symbol it will be corrupted into ¬©. For example Copyright © David Gordon 2006 will appear in Photoshop’s File info as Copyright ¬© David Gordon 2006.
iView discussion here < http://forum.iview-multimedia.com/viewtopic.php?t=4718&h ighlight=>
Reading this forum it seems that if any application other than Photoshop or Bridge writes the data, Photoshop will corrupt © and other symbols.
I’m using Photoshop CS2 but CS also corrupts my © symbol. Adding metadata using iView and saving the data back to the original file _always_ results in a corrupt ©. I thought Photo Mechanic <http://camerabits.com/pages/PM4.html> didn’t – but it does. The problem seesm to be confined to TIFF files, JPEGs are okay.
So is this an Adobe problem, if so how do I make a fuss to get it sorted!
Thanks!
