TIFF Archival Metadata on Mac

Archival TIFF workflows need more than a quick preview. On the Mac, validate orientation, ICC/color profile references, EXIF capture fields when present, IPTC/XMP descriptive tags, copyright notices, and—when Photoshop touched the file—IRB-carried IPTC-IIM.

Print masters and scan archives often hold the definitive rights and keyword data for a job. Inspect before long-term storage, client handoff, or migration into a DAM so silent losses and stale titles do not freeze into the archive.

MSAM.media apps—ExifTool Reader, ExifTool Reader Pro, and EXIF Exporter Pro—run on macOS and are sold only through the Mac App Store. Use them for local TIFF inspection and CSV export across folders of masters without uploading libraries to a web service.

Pair TIFF archival checks with the Keywords, Copyright, ICC, and Photoshop IRB topics so descriptive, rights, color, and legacy Photoshop layers stay aligned.
