http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/glossary/f/metadata.htm --- IPTC is the standard developed in the 1970's by the International Press Telecommunications Council. It was initially developed as a standard for exchanging information between news organizations and has evolved over time. Around 1994, Adobe Photoshop's "File Info" form enabled users to insert and edit IPTC metadata in digital image files and so it was adopted by stock photo agencies, and other publishing businesses outside of the news media. --- IPTC data is appended to the files in a manner similar to EXIF information but is independent of it. XMP encapsulates both kinds of data, and more (like RAW conversion parameters and editing history...). > Ah - now I just opened that area in elements 5.0 and ca-chung! > down at the bottom it says "powered by XMP" never noticed > that before.
