Who it is for

Editorial, sports, corporate, institutional, agency, wire-service, and assignment photographers preparing delivery metadata.

Local, catalog, file, and network behavior

Nothing important stays implied.

Catalog read: Reads only explicitly supported fields through documented Lightroom Classic SDK interfaces.
Catalog write: No metadata or catalog write is authorized in the launch product.
Direct .lrcat access: Never
File creation: Creates only user-requested evidence reports.
Network: No captions, rights values, filenames, paths, or catalog identifiers are uploaded.
Privacy: Metadata values remain local unless a user deliberately exports and shares the report.
Exceptions and ambiguity: Unavailable fields, conflicting requirements, and uncertain interpretations are unsupported or need decision rather than silently passing.
Recovery: The launch product is read-only, so no metadata rollback is required.

What it checks, creates, or changes

Supported required-field presence
Recipient-profile rules
Batch evidence
Profile provenance and effective date

What it deliberately does not do

Silently write or repair metadata
Claim support for unavailable fields
Invent recipient requirements
Open a .lrcat database

Exact compatibility

Tested rows only.

Compatibility policy

No public compatibility row is authorized yet.

Private engineering evidence does not become a public support claim until the exact product, host, OS, architecture, and release row pass review.

Known limitations

What still has to be true.

Launch recipient profiles and field coverage require sourced validation.
Correction preview and application are post-launch and separately gated.

Installation

A Lightroom Classic plug-in installation guide will accompany the exact authorized package.

Update policy

Proposed one-time major-version license with 12 months of maintenance; legal review remains required.

Policy language remains subject to legal review before public activation.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before checkout.

Will Metadata Check fix missing fields?

No. The launch product reports supported observations and leaves changes to the photographer.

Support and release

Coming soon means exactly that.

Review licenses, affiliate eligibility, checkout, download, sitemap indexing, and structured product data remain disabled until this product’s release gate passes.
