Rev and Photoshop

[Thomas McGrath III]

FWIW,

The Actions in PS can handle writing to the Caption part etc. of 
multiple files in PS. It can also handle batch append and loading of 
.xmp files which can be saved/read/created in a text program.

Also, A great program for that many photos is Portfolio which I used 
for a CD project with a REV front end that had over 10,000 photos.
