metadata help pls

I have a job coming up and I have to include metadata in the photo.

I'll be honest I never messed with it before. I do have the copyright info set in my 5diii with my name. I thought that was enough. Today I used a metadata viewer and it did not show any data. So I went in lightroom and set the metadata in a picture, to try it out.

Then I went back online to try to "see". It did show me everything: everything but the copyright info I had set. For some reason it's only showing my name as owner. Also when I open the photo up in PS, and go to metadata info there is none.

Pls help, what do I need to do to set this right?
TIA

I usually put these into my shots in LR:

Keywords
Title
Caption
Exposure metadate

Then just export with all metadata?

Or are they just after the exposure strings, copyright etc?

I have to put my copyright info, name and job description
the problem is on the copyright line, that's whats not showing up on the metadata viewer. and when i hit export I hit export "all" metadata

Could you be using "Save for web"? That will strip the exif info out.

Not necessarily, depends on your version of PS. Starting with at least CS5 there are several options of saving metadata or not using "Save for Web".

Have you tried to export via Lr?

BTW: You don't have to upload to the web to see if the metadata is there. If you are on a PC, you can simply view the properties of the file; right-click the image, go to Properties, then view the Details tab. If the metadata is listed there, but isn't after you upload... then whoever you are using for image hosting is likely stripping the metadata.

There's an easy way to work around this. For example, under "NAME", instead of writing:

Abby Panda

write:

copyright Abby Panda

Thus, you can "claim" copyright, or show it in your metadata, even if you can't get it to show up in the space specifically designated for the copyright info.

Thanks so much everyone. I ended up figuring it out but now it's been a day and I don't remember what I did to fix it. It was something off: wasn't the save for web but something with the way I was exporting it I think from lr. I do remember that in the process of getting the fix I went to LR under "library" and set it there. Before I had been setting it under "develop" using the menu tabs at the very top. Maybe that wasn't working. but the last batch it was all there when I viewed it in photoshop. Thanks all

When you export from LR there is a checkbox setting for the metadata. However, it is at the bottom and you may need to scroll the window down in order to see it.
