Aperture: IPTC Metadata in TIFF images no longer appears on Intel-based Mac

After you update to Mac OS X 10.4.7 on an Intel-based Mac, Aperture, Preview, and iPhoto will no longer display IPTC metadata for certain TIFF files. The affected TIFF files are those to which you added IPTC metadata in Aperture in Mac OS X 10.4.6 or earlier and then exported from Aperture as TIFF files.

The issue affects these products when used on an Intel-based Mac:

• Aperture 1.1
• Preview
• iPhoto 6
• Mac OS X 10.4.7

Solution

Re-export any affected images from Aperture after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.7.
