It is in the PhotoShop ÒInfoÓ screen but not the list.

Martin, what am I doing wrong here?

Is ÒKeywordsÓ not available to this methodology?



Dunno what you're doing wrong because getting keywords works just the same as any other metadata:




tell application "Finder" to set theFile to choose file

set foo to POSIX path of theFile

set bar to (do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemKeywords " & quoted form of foo)


I believe Oakley wants to use Adobe XMP metadata (which is visible within Photoshop's File Info panel), not Spotlight metadata.

Oakley -- I have only just looked into this a bit myself, and yes it is possible to do so without opening Photoshop, but I doubt from within AppleScript. Perhaps you should start here:
