exporting metadata from Lightroom/Photoshop to Sharepoint 2013

[mrsgorgon]

I have a large amount of tagged images that need to be imported into a Sharepoint 2013 image library. Sharepoint imports some of the metadata tags (all EXIF, some IPTC) but not all of the tags I need. SP libraries have a default set of tags they import: Title, Subject, Keywords, Author (photographer), Date Picture Taken, Height, Width.  I need it to import City, State/Province, Country, and Person Shown.

Has anybody worked out how to enable additional metadata tags for import?

I know almost nothing about SharePoint, but a quick Google suggests that you can add custom metadata columns to a Sharepoint library and import external data into those columns. 

It's easy to get most metadata out of LR -- the LR/Transporter and ListView plugins can export most EXIF and IPTC metadata from the LR catalog to CSV files.

So in your query on the Microsoft Sharepoint forum, you might restate your problem: You have a CSV file providing additional columns of data for images in a Sharepoint image library.  How do you create custom metadata columns in that library and import the data from the CSV file?

Thanks, that got me looking for other third-party apps since I don't have Lightroom myself. Picture Information Extractor (Windows), ExifChanger, and GraphicConverter can batch edit and export metadata to a CSV (cool!). Now I just have to get them into the Sharepoint list!
