| ->> I've googled and searched and have turned up nothing...my question to everyone in Sportsshooter land is this: I downloaded Photo Mechanic for my new iMac, but I'm a creature of habit and I don't like the new caption template. I prefer the older template, like the one I'm running on my laptop (last year's verion of Photo Mechanic). Is there anywhere in 'preferences' to change this? I've looked all through PM's toolbar options and haven't seen anything. |

->> If you go to Preferences -> IPTC/XMP, in the lower-left corner there should be a checkbox marked "Use Classic IPTC dialogs". That should fix it...

| ->> It took me a long time to find it in the newest version of PhotoMechanic. The classic IPTC dialogs checkbox has moved to the accessibility preference location. Preferences->Accessibility->IPTC Dialogs->Use Classic IPTC dialogs. |

| ->> David H., the checkbox isn't in the same place as it used to be. David S., thank you! Seriously, I'm a total creature of habit and I hated the new caption fields. There's a reason they have the "classic" as an option! Thanks again to all. |
