Some functions may not work with earlier versions.
- Start reading
Open the Handbook by clicking on '_Start_Introduction'. You will find links to all sections of the document from the Introduction page, and from tabs at the top.
- Setting preferences
1. It is important to set the permissions in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat as specified under the preferences tab.
2. The Global Security Policy has to be switched off (disabled) for JavaScript to work correctly for the interactive workflow chart (Workflow tab). If you are concerned about this, open Preferences and switch it back on when you have finished.
The Workflow chart
The first time you open the chart, it will take a while to appear. If you go back to it during your session it appears quickly.

If you would like to discuss the Handbook you are invited to join the public IPTC Photo Metadata Yahoo group: go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iptc-photometadata and apply for membership - which will be granted quickly. Then post your comments and views.
