XMP Metadata

[paulvg]

Apparently with the new photoshop, once you finish processsing an image with EXIF metadata and save-as to a jpeg or another format, the EXIF metadate is re-written in XMP metadata format... As I'm told by other forums, XMP is the new format that will be used in the future, but software/scripts/etc./etc. that use EXIF metadata currently are not yet "XMP aware"....


I told that story to ask this question: Is there any outlook on how to "fix" this problem (possible a workaround to make XMP work with pixelpost) or are you guys planning to make pixelpost XMP "aware" in the future.


I'm not sure if theres a post on this already, i did a search for XMP and got nothing, but that just may be because someone didn't know that it was called XMP *shrug* --- Any suggestions?


Kind Regards,
Paul

nevermind, i seem to have found the problem, or so i think

-- if you Save for Web... Photoshop "clips" the EXIF data for some reason or another (optimization? *shrug*) so if you just Save As... the EXIF data is kept intact... not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but figured i'd go ahead and post the solution just in case... - paul

we've had several users who's exif would not work, we directed them to "save as" rather than "save for web" and most of the time this solved the problem...simple user erros, it sneaks up on a lot of people

"save as" is more accurate to preserve the processing and colors of the photograph as it is, its a much better alternative to "save for web"
