If necessary, click the arrow to the left of IPTC Core to reveal its contents. IPTC Core is the schema
for XMP that provides a smooth and explicit transfer of metadata. Adobe's Extensible Metadata Plat-
form (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.
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.
The Metadata panel can be edited.
If a file is locked, you won't be able to edit or add metadata information to it. Right-click the file
(in Adobe Bridge) and choose Reveal in Explorer (Windows) or Reveal in Finder (Mac OS). In
Windows, right-click the file, choose Properties, and click to clear the Read-only check box; in
Mac OS, right-click the file, choose Get Info, then change the Ownership (Sharing) and Permis-
sions to Read and Write.
