Organizing, keywords, and metadata
This chapter describes the metadata features in Corel AfterShot Pro.
Photo metadata, or information about your pictures, can make searching and finding your images much faster and easier.
Metadata simply refers to the information about your images, including data recorded by your camera, such as the time,
date, exposure, shutter speed, and aperture. You can also add your own metadata to photos to record what the subject
is, where you took the photos, and professional photographers can include client information.
Types of metadata
Some metadata is standardized so it can be accessed by a wide range of devices and software. EXIF and IPTC are the most
common metadata standards:
 EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format): Data typically recorded by the camera about the settings used for a photo. Most
EXIF metadata is not editable. The EXIF data from the original photo (master file) is used for all versions that are derived
from the master file (same source). Some examples of EXIF metadata are shutter speed, aperture, ISO, date, and time.
 IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council): Data added by the photographer such as image description,
photographer information, copyright, and caption.
Corel AfterShot Pro also supports other metadata, some of which can be shared between different applications. This
metadata includes:
 Keywords
 Ratings
 Color Labels
 Flags
Storing and sharing metadata
Not everything in Corel AfterShot Pro can be shared with other applications that support XMP files. Different applications
have different methods of storing metadata, so some incompatibilities may exist. Corel AfterShot Pro saves all your image
adjustments in XMP files; however, these changes cannot be seen in other applications. For example, if you adjust the
exposure and saturation on a RAW file in Corel AfterShot Pro, these changes will be saved to the sidecar XMP file for that
image. Opening the RAW file in Corel AfterShot Pro at a later date (with both the RAW file and XMP file in same folder)
will show the image with the adjustments you've made: exposure and saturation. However, opening that same RAW file in
other image editors will show the original RAW file, not the RAW file with your edits intact. In order to make the
adjustments you've made in Corel AfterShot Pro visible to other applications, you must export the RAW file to a editable
format like JPEG or TIFF, then open that exported file in the other application.
Corel AfterShot Pro stores its settings in an XMP file that is slightly different than other popular image editors. For more
information, see
XMP files.
Versions
Versions are used in Corel AfterShot Pro to represent your master files and any variations derived from your master files.
When you make edits and image adjustments in Corel AfterShot Pro, you are creating and editing versions, not the
original master file. This means you can make as many different versions from a single master file as you like, without ever
affecting the original image.
Versions created from the same master file share the same content and are shown in a stack a set of thumbnails that
can be grouped together so that only the top thumbnail shows in the Thumbnail panel. All settings and options can be
different, allowing you to make different interpretations, crops or other image adjustments to each version. Versions
maintain their own edit history, and can each be assigned unique metadata. The settings for all versions from a single
master file are stored inside a single Corel AfterShot Pro XMP file.
