Import and export certain IPTC data to/from iPhoto Apps
I'm not sure when it was added, but iPhoto now supports importing and exporting IPTC metadata for the title, keywords, and caption fields. Basically, it just works as expected, but there are a couple caveats -- for instance, to export modified IPTC information, you must use the Export function and not drag and drop. There's an example showing how this all works in this entry on my blog.

Import and export certain IPTC data to/from iPhoto

As far as I can tell, iPhoto only saves the keywords if you export in jpg format, which re-saves the pictures, causing unnecessary image degradation. Is there some workaround for this?

I Wrote a java tool that exports IPhoto 08 keywords to original image files. I use it with my library of 60.000 pics.
