Corel AfterShot Pro uses a similar, but slightly different filename to store this enhanced XMP data. The XMP filename is
created by simply adding ".xmp" to the end of the complete filename of the image file it describes (while many other
applications build the XMP filename by first dropping the image file extension (like "jpg", "nef" or "cr2") before adding
"xmp"). So a Corel AfterShot Pro XMP file would look like img_0000.jpg.xmp while an XMP from other applications for the
same image would simply be img_0000.xmp.
Corel AfterShot Pro lets you create a standard XMP file that other applications will read, but this limits the settings to
those officially supported by the XMP standard (one set of metadata per image file).
Shared XMP data
Other applications store image adjustments in sidecar XMP files, and metadata added in other applications can be
imported into Corel AfterShot Pro. These include:
 Star ratings
 Color labels
 Flags (called 'Picks' or 'Selects' in other applications)
 Keywords and categories
 IPTC and EXIF data
Likewise, applying any of these settings to images in Corel AfterShot Pro will write this data back to the XMP file for those
images. Many applications allow you sync settings from XMP files with the settings they hold in their internal databases.
After the sync process is complete, adjustments made in Corel AfterShot Pro appear in those applications as well.
For more information, see
Organizing, keywords, and metadata
.
XMP data exclusive to Corel AfterShot Pro
Settings from image editing tools within Corel AfterShot Pro and other applications are also stored within XMP files;
however, these settings are not shared amongst applications from different manufacturers. This is due to the technical
differences in implementing various image adjustment tools. These differences in how the various tools are implemented
give each application its own image quality characteristics, and prohibit image adjustment settings from being shared
between applications.
Using Corel AfterShot Pro in no way limits what you can do with your images or which applications you can use to edit or
manage your digital photographic files.
How metadata is processed when you import files
Corel AfterShot Pro reads and collects metadata embedded in image files, in Corel AfterShot Pro XMP files and standard
XMP files. The process and order of collecting metadata from these various sources is shown below.
1. If a Corel AfterShot Pro XMP file exists, metadata is read from this file and no other metadata is imported.
2. If no Corel AfterShot Pro XMP file is found, metadata is read from Standard XMP files.
3. If XMP content is embedded in the image file, this is read next and is added to any previously found XMP data, but
common fields found in any other source are ignored.
Understanding the Library
Your Library is where you store one or more catalogs of photos. It is a key part of the asset management system. It lets
you access the master files (original photos) as well as all the versions that you create. You can read photo metadata, and
search and browse for photos based on the associated metadata.
Review the information in this section, and when you're ready to start importing, see
Importing images
.
The Corel AfterShot Pro Library and catalogs
If you choose to use Corel AfterShot Pro's asset management features, you will start by importing images into a catalog.
This catalog is where data and metadata for your photos will be stored. The Library consists of one or more catalogs,
which store data such as:
 Links to original master files (path information and file information)
 Metadata for image searching and browsing
 Image adjustment settings, and a complete editing history
 Previews and thumbnails
