With this panel you can set folder-specific default descriptor values or add and edit descriptors for individual or multiple images.
In the panel "Descriptor Defaults for&ldots;", you can set default values for new images that are imported to this particular folder.
Descriptive information can be associated with each image. They are used as follows:
Descriptors replace placeholders in text objects in web galleries.
Descriptors can be used to search images in the Image Archive.
Descriptors can be used as image subtitles in the Image Archive and in slide shows.
Folders in the Image Archive can be sorted by descriptors.
You can create User Groups of your own choosing to organize descriptors and put together associated information about your images. Descriptors of any category can be added to these User Groups for convenient display and quick editing.

There are four different kinds of descriptors:
User descriptors can be freely defined by you.
System descriptors are used internally by StudioLine.
DigiCam descriptors store the EXIF information present in most image files of digital cameras. Depending on your particular digital camera model, you will find information about the time and date of taking the photo and information about camera settings while taking the photo (e.g. exposure, focal length), as well as information about the used camera itself.
IPTC/NAA descriptors (IPTC: International Press Telecommunications Council, NAA: Newspaper Association of America) can be edited in some image processing applications.
Descriptors shown in red can only be viewed but cannot be modified.
