Is Kalimages compliant with standard IPTC/IIM standard?
Quite! In fact as far as we know there is no application completely compliant with IPTC/IIM. According IIMv4 document, the following fields can be repeated: Référence Service (n° 45), Byline (n° 80), Byline title (n° 85), Contact (n° 118), Writer-Editor (n° 122). It is not the case for Kalimages like all IPTC editors that follow what Adobe implemented in Photoshop: only Keyword (n° 25) and Supplemental Category (n° 20) fields are repeatable. According IIMv4, Category (n° 15) and Supplemental Category (n° 20) are obsolet. They are however often used by professionals and Kalimages manage them. FinallyLocal Caption (n° 121) field is not described in IIMv4 document; it is however used by several IPTC editors and Kalimages supports it as well. Maximal field lengths are also specified in IIMv4 document. Several IPTC editors do not stick to that limits. With Kalimages you can control the fields length according IPTC/IIM standard: menu Configuration/IPTC edition options, check Control fields l
