Is there a way to attach confidential metadata to a photo such as name and contact info of the subject?
I take many candid/casual portraits and I often send the subject copies of the photo. I know that you said you can often find metadata related to pictures that you have found on the web. I would like to be able to keep the data with the photo for future reference but not have it available to others.

You can make as many ‘custom’ metadata fields as you like. These are only for use in Aperture and are not exported with your images.
gfsymon,
Interesting, I did not realize that these custom fields were not exported. I just tested this myself with two files, each with some common and some unique data, and each with a custom metadata field. I ensured that I was able to find each file using search terms that I new to be common and unique to each file, and then searched for data in the custom fields — and did in fact come up empty.
That’s good to know, thanks for sharing that. I’ll turn that into a tip and credit you for the find.

Not much of a find Joseph. It’s in the manual. :)
Dude I could populate this blog with things that are in the manual!
