XMP that provides a smooth and explicit transfer of metadata. Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform
(XMP) is a labeling technology that allows you to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the
file itself. With XMP, desktop applications and back-end publishing systems gain a common method
for capturing and sharing valuable metadata.
6 On the right side of this list, notice a series of pencil icons. The pencil icons indicate that you can enter
information in these fields. Some of the information about the creator has already been included, such
as the creator's name and his location. You will add additional information.

highlighted, and a cursor appears in the Description Writer field.

9 Scroll up to locate the Description text field. Click the Pencil icon to the right and type Skateboarder
catching air , to add a description for the image.
Reveal the IPTC contents and enter metadata information.
10 Click the Apply button ( ), located in the bottom-right corner of the Metadata panel, to apply your
changes. You have now edited metadata that is attached to the image; this information will appear
whenever someone opens your image in Bridge or views the image information in Adobe Photoshop
using File > File Info.
