Some IPTC editors available for Macintosh use specific character coding of Macintosh (before System X). Legends are then displayed with bad characters on an editor like Kalimages that uses Windows Character set. Don’t worry, you can automatically switch to the other display mode choosing option Macintosh Accents instead of default option Windows Accents when you are IPTC editing with Kalimages. If you need to work on a large number of images that you received and that have IPTC texts with accents created by a Macintosh user you can use our software CrossIPTC for a mass conversion of images descriptions with accents to Windows character set properly displayed for PC users.
