About MetaShotPpt
This upgrade to MetaShotPpt was created with a Visual Resources Association Foundation(VRAF) (http://www.vrafoundation.org/) project grant awarded to Greg Reser and Sheryl Frisch, members of the Visual Resources Association’s, Data Standards Committee Embedded Metadata working group. The previous version was created using a 2013 VRAF project grant awarded to Amanda Rybin. Ben Lange was the software programmer and the tool was built in AppleScript, in consultation with Greg Reser and Heidi Eyestone, who developed the 2012 version for the PC, also funded by a VRAF project grant.
