More Information About IPTC Metadata
In Aperture, you can import and export IPTC metadata for an image in an XMP sidecar
file. XMP sidecar files are XML files that accompany each image containing IPTC and other
metadata associated with the image. Any field containing information in the IPTC Core
metadata view for a selected image version can be exported to the XMP sidecar file for
that version. The IPTC Core metadata view is compliant with the IPTC Core specification
version 1.0. For more information about choosing the IPTC Core metadata view, see
Viewing and Changing Metadata in the Metadata Inspector and Inspector HUD. For more
information about exporting XMP sidecar files, see Exporting Your Images. For more
information about the IPTC Core specification version 1.0, go to http://www.iptc.org.
If you intend to export your keywords as IPTC metadata, make sure each keyword entry
is no more than 64 characters long. Keyword entries longer than 64 characters may not
be displayed properly in other IPTC editors or operating systems.
