I would suggest you create a new product with a new ATImage subclass,
wherein you override the setImage() mutator to call the original one and
then use IPTCInfo to also set the other attributes. Then you need to change
the mimetypes registry to point to your type instead of ATImage.

Alternatively, you could either monkeypatch the ATImage .setImage() (which
is ugly but works when in a hurry) or listen to ObjectModifiedEvents for
ATImages and set the other attributes with the IPTC information.

Cheers, Leo
