The following code works with ImgX version 6.3. It does not work with ImgX version 6.4. Please let me know if there is a work-around.

Private Sub Form_Load()

' ADD one Keyword to IPTC data. The Keyword field must not have any data

Dim filename As String
Dim Keyword As String
Dim iTag As ImgX_IPTCTag
Const tempfile = "C:\Temp\temp.jpg"

filename = "C:\temp\©C79A3574.JPG"
ImgX.Import.FromJPGScaled filename, ixjsEighth
ImgX.ScaleImageToFit
ImgX.Image.IPTC.PopulateStandardTags True
ImgX.Image.EXIF.PopulateStandardTags True

Keyword = "Testing"
ImgX.Image.IPTC.Add ixitKeyword, 0
ImgX.Image.IPTC(ixitKeyword, 0).Text = Keyword

'Tell ImgX to save any changes to the IPTC info
ImgX.Image.IPTC.SaveIPTCChanges = True
ImgX.JPGMarkersToSave = ixjmAllMarkers

' save to a new file
ImgX.Image.CopyJPEGMetadataToFile filename, tempfile

' rename the temp file to the original filename
Kill filename
Name tempfile As filename


' Retireve Keyword
ImgX.Import.FromJPGScaled filename, ixjsEighth
ImgX.ScaleImageToFit
ImgX.Image.IPTC.PopulateStandardTags True
ImgX.Image.EXIF.PopulateStandardTags True

If ImgX.Image.IPTC.ContainsIPTC Then
For Each iTag In ImgX.Image.IPTC
Select Case iTag.ID
Case ixitKeyword
Keyword = iTag.Text
' The program stops here for ImgX version 6.3
' The Stop never gets executed for ImgX version 6.4
Stop
End Select
Next iTag
End If
End Sub

I'm not able to duplicate this problem.

Does it only happen with specific images?

I know it happens to jpg's - that is every jpg. The jpg's are from a Cannon EOS 1D. Let me know if I need to send an image to you.

What version of ImgX 6.4 is this? The latest version released a couple weeks ago fixed some IPTC problems.

THe version is 6.4.2,

6.4.3 is the latest version and does have some IPTC fixes in it. You might want to download it and see if that helps.

I uninstalled version 6.3, and installed version 6.4.4. I still have the same problem. As I loop through the IPTC tags, the tag ixitKeyword is not found. ( The tag numbers go from 15 to 55. Tag 25, for ixitKeyword, is not listed.) This has something to do with Cannon jpg files from an EOS 1D camera. It happens with every jpg file from this camera.

If I use a file fro a Nikon camera, I do not have the problem.

I did it nicely with ImgX ver 6.4.3.

And it seems correct also when whe view itu with Photoshop. But... the keywords is missing when we view it with Photostation Pro.

 can anyone help me with this ??
