Hi Simon,
Thanks for the feedback.
The Photoshop information is the metadata which you find within the file info dialog box of each image within Photoshop. I contains keywords, resolution, size information etc.
The images I have been testing are with the preview files option checked on import as our image library will exceed over 40,000 images.
Apart from the above request, I would also like to version control the image to show modification dates. Ideally, use it as a digital asset management tool and also be able to open the Photoshop file through Filemaker via Applescript.
Ian.
