IDs

Add player’s name and number using the “persons shown” field

If there are more than three people you can use “team” or ID the key people in the image

Example: A touchdown celebration, ID the player who scored the touchdown, don’t need to ID every player that surrounds him.

(Code Replacements)

IPTC

Apply the IPTC stationery pad to automate the “persons shown” field into the caption

*Be very careful that “persons shown” is not selected on the IPTC pad or it will overwrite any IDs you added individually

*If you applied it before adding “persons shown” you will need to apply again as a final step

(IPTC)

Captions

If you so choose, you can add additional information to the caption to describe what it’s showing such as “scores a goal” if you want to make it more searchable.

*While not necessary for Cal, this is good practice for other editorial events

Filename

Cal requests filenames of images start with the players name (sorry, this is not a request from us, but it’s how they organize and search their drives)

You can quickly rename photos in PhotoMechanic Command M and copy this into the field, update what is in bold and the rest will automate based on your IPTC:

{person}_Cal_SPORTCODE_{iptcyear4}{iptcmonth0}{iptcday0}_{iptchour24}{iptcminute}{iptcsecond}_PhotographerID

Example: Tre Watson_Cal_FB_20170902_135432_SWolf
