Exchangeable Image File Format. Technical camera data (model, shutter speed, GPS) embedded in a photo.
IPTC
International Press Telecommunications Council standard. Descriptive metadata: captions, keywords, copyright, creator.
XMP
Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform. A modern, extensible wrapper around IPTC/EXIF data, used inside files and in sidecar .xmp files.
XMP Sidecar
A separate .xmp file stored next to a RAW image, holding the metadata Lightroom and Capture One read. Protects the original RAW from being modified.
ExifTool
The industry-standard open-source tool for reading and writing photo metadata. Jade GT runs it in WebAssembly inside the browser.
NewsCodes
Standardised 8-digit IPTC subject codes used by stock agencies and news organisations to classify photos by topic.
GPX
GPS Exchange Format. The XML file phones and handhelds export for a recorded track. The Mobile GPS Logger writes one when you finish a session.
Direct Save
The Pro-only saving mode that writes metadata changes back to your original files in place. Requires a Chromium browser and File System Access permission for the folder.
Export Mode
The fallback saving mode that produces fresh copies (or a ZIP archive) of your photos with updated metadata. The default on Safari, Firefox, and mobile.
Sync Photo
The single photograph you take of the Mobile Logger's UTC clock with your camera. Jade GT compares its EXIF time against the visible UTC pixels to compute your camera's clock offset.
Sync Ritual
The end-to-end workflow of photographing the Mobile Logger's UTC clock, recording your track, and computing the camera-to-UTC offset for a GPX match.
Stock Readiness
Jade GT's live score for how complete your photo's metadata is against the active stock-agency profile (Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Getty, or General).
Triage Row
The flag, color label, and star-rating control at the top of the Preview and Tags tabs. Catalog metadata only; never written into the photo.
Match Window
The maximum allowed time gap between a photo's timestamp and a GPX track point during GPX matching. Default 30 minutes; adjustable from the Match Preview.
Privacy Scrub
The full-metadata purge in EXIF Info. Removes GPS, camera identity, timestamps, IPTC/XMP fields, and embedded thumbnails in one staged operation.
