What effects do XMP files have in CS, LR, and Elements (Organizer & Editor)?

I wonder what effects the .XMP files have on Photoshop applications. Should I keep them when working in the OS (WIN7) or chuck them? What effects would deleting XMP have?

THe XMP files contain all the edit information for any raw files you have. If you chuck them you will loose any edits you made.
If you do not want to see them in Bridge click View and uncheck show hidden files. They only use about 2 kb.

My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
i didnt think graphics could change via software updates

Xmp files have become disassociated with image

My xmp files have become disassociated with my image in ACR cs5. Bridge shows thumbnail and xmp file side by side for any changes i make in ACR or in rating images theough bridge. I have searched for answers but coming up empty. Anyone?

If you are reffering to raw files, yes, this is as expected and designed. Raw files are considered Read Only files and the variouse metadata is therefore stored in the .xmp side car files. Metadata for TIFF, PSD & JPEG as well as DNG files can be safely embedded into the file so there is no need of a side car file.
Just be sure you keep the raw + .xmp files together and essentially treate them as one file.

I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug in holes, I've left it for the night and tired again this morning.

Error code 9006 is related to the computer's security software settings, 39 is not listed inResolve iOS update and restore errors try turning the security/anti-virus software off if you are using something like that. Then you may need to restore via the recovery mode since that is what the graphic of a USB wire connecting to iTunes means, it has already entered recovery mode...see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for instructions on recovery mode restoring.

Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and Elements

I have recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks. Since this I have had problems opening files in Elements 11. I upgraded to Elements 12, blindly hoping the problem would fix itself, however it hasn't.   When I try to open a file the Finder window pops up then disappears immediately. Occasionally it will stay open until I scroll down but then closes.   I keep the files on an external drive but the drive is working with all other applications, so I don't think it is that. If anyone has had a similar problem and has any ideas I would be grateful as the program is unusable for now. Thanks very much in anticipation

Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly. I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far. I will let you know if I have any further problems. It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
Best of Luck

Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

What happened to .xmp files?

I have noticed recently that my Bridge program (cs4) has not been automatically exporting .xmp files into the folder where I store my images. I have been doing a lot of reading, but still can't seem to find a solid answer as far as what to do.
I have figured out how to export .xmp files into another folder, but what's the point of that? I want the metadata for my images to stay with my images. When I move them from folder to folder using Bridge, the xmp files used to move also, so I never lost my metadata.
I also empty my cache fairly often. I noticed that Bridge was no longer exporting xmp files when I emptied my cache and ALL my metadata that I had added to my images was gone, just like that.
I am a photographer and need that information to go somewhere permanent automatically, not in the cache which is supposed to store temporary file information.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks so much!

It is what I understood (after briefly scanning through page) from this post that advices to shoot in K20 generated DNG instead of the PEF format.

For your files in certain conditions at high iso this seems to be the case, the DNG files converted by Adobe DNG converter do miss the border pixels needed for the script from GordonBGood.
I tried to download that application but it seems only for Windows, how do you manage to use it?? Thought you have given up on Windows long time ago??
Nevertheless I also tried the apply image method you quoted from Bruce Fraser in an other post, using subtract with offset 128 and both perfectly the same.
I do agree that Raw converters from nowadays can get more out of the Raw data then they did 8 years ago, trying an 8 year old raw file gives a much better result (but then you also have to keep in mind that our knowledge and skills in Digital imaging have grown in combination with better color management understanding and good calibration soft and hardware is also due to this!)
Also I'm not afraid my benefit from the future Raw converters will differ if I use DNG instead of the original Raw, but that is my personal believe. The result I get nowadays for combination of DNG and PS are already more then satisfying, and sure it will be better in the future but for that I have also faith in DNG :-)

That is just a question of the market, as you could see that our young friend that started this post never uses it and I do hear more voices saying they don't use it or don't see the use for it. Eventually there will be no need for letting seldom used formats taking space in menu's and applications.
DNG however is still talk of the town, whether you like it or not. And therefore more likely to be around in 15 years time. But you are right, If I was to know about what was going on in 15 years from now I would not be a photographer but a fortuneteller and in my free time bathing in countless money :-) :-)

That I still can't understand unless you have chosen to use the original raw file included and created a double size for the file. But as stated in earlier post, not the case on my system.

Statistically you have lived the greatest part of your life and knowing your health is not something to be jealous of (to put it mildly) your statement about this also is something only time will learn.

XMP file have Dream Weaver Logo

Hello,
I work on my pictures with Camera Raw on NEF raw files. I wanted to edit lots of pictures taken under same light conditions. Therefore I just edited one file. Normally I could for exemple open the next file say " load settings" and chose the XMP file of the picture I just edited.
But now, I get an error message saying the the XMP file has no data in it (but if I open it as text, there is a lot written there). I notice that the file has the logo DW (Dream Weaver). On my other computer, the file open per default with Mac Script. I tried to change this, but it doesnt work. I don't get the error message, but none of the according settings neither...
Is this a known issue?
What can I do?
I work on Mac OS X 10.8.5 and I am customer of Adobe Creative Cloud (I work with Photoshop CC6).
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and hints!!

I received a new laptop. the person that transferred all of my files, didn't know what they were doing when transferring itunes content. Now I have my new computer and itunes doesn't contain all of my music. I don't know how to set it up to recognize my account and I don't see any of my apps. What do I do now?

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

What is the use of have 3 Class loaders and why not only one

In java we have 3 class loaders i.e BootStrap loader, Extension loader and System loader. Why can't we have just one?
And what is the user of Extension loader?

And what is the user of Extension loader?This has to do with one of the most advantages of OOP, reusability.
First comes the Bootstrap class loader, it loads the classes contained in java.lang
Next comes the Extention classloader, which loads vendor specific classes, like in case of SUN jvm the extention classloader will load the jars contained
in /jre/lib/ext, that is why if you place any jar file in this directory, it will automatically be loaded at runtime. Suppose you place log4j.jar in this directory in this directory, now if you check the classpath[if you use eclipse, it is very easy to find out],log4j jar willl be there, you will now not have to explicitly add the jar in the classpath again. If any other vendor supplies JVM ,he/she will place their vendor specific classes in this directory.
Last but not the least, the system classloader, it loads the classes in your application, example can be, when you use jdbc and do this :
Class.forName("")
system classloader is loading the class for you, there are two types: static and dynamic class loading.
Now all these classloader follow the same rule, first it asks its parent classloader to load a class for it, system classloader will ask the extention classloader
to load a class when needed, and if the extention classloader has already loaded the class, that class will not be loaded again. If the class could not be loaded by ext class loader, the the system classloader tries to load it. Relation between ext and bootstrap class loader is same. If the class not found ClassNotFoundException is thrown..
For more details..check the specification.

If you have FCPX (10) you can upgrade for free at the MacApp Store.
Did you click "proxy media" when importing? That will help playback.

What to do if I have no bank account and want to install free apps from appstore.

I have no banking card and even if I have it, Ido not want to provide information about it to apple. But I can't install any free app, because Apple demands to enter my banking card information first.
Is that an American democracy? Democracy without choice? Yes?
Or Apple think that I am a monkey, not a human, so I can`t know what I really need and Apple knows better what I have to do?

How do I transfer Face tags that I have on iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10?

I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea -417df45c129593bfa05-8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
"Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
I have tried contacting Adobe directly and using their forums but I keep getting told that Adobe offers this service as a "courtesy" and that I should contact Mac/iPhoto for further assistance.
Has anyone tried going from iPhoto to Elements Organizer with their tags?
Please Please help!
Many thanks
D.M.

There is no standard field for faces. To transfer information you must put it in the standard place that the new program will use. That does not exist for faces. One work around would be to use keywords. You include the available metadata in a photo by checking all if the boxes when you export the photo(s). What the receiving program is determined by the authors of that program. All iPhoto can do is write what it offers to the IPTC & EXIF fields which it will

What is the best way to upload Android photos to Elements Organizer 8?

I have a new Android phone but the Droids are not compatible with Adobe Revel. I can easily upload the photos to Revel using the Revel app, but as you know, I cannot edit from Revel and many photos cannot be brought into Elements Organizer and from there to the Editor. How do I do this and how best do I edit?
Thank you.

You can edit files in Elements and then upload them to Revel from your hard drive. If you are on a PC, you can use adoberevel.com and import there from your hard drive. (If you use Mac, you can import to Revel in the Mac app, but you can also edit from within the Revel app). If the file is only in Revel, you can export it to the PC, edit in Elements, and then import to Revel.
Until we release the Android app, you have the option to use the android uploader to import photos into Revel:
Revel Uploader for Android mobile devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.revel.importer
You can also go to a web browser on your Android device and login to adoberevel.com as you do on a PC.
To be notified when Revel is available for Android:
go to http://www.photoshop.com/products/revel
scroll down and look on the right side where it says "coming soon- Notify me" for android. Click and you can sign up to be notified.
I hope that helps.

What effect does Audit logging have on system performance?

Hi
I'm aware that the question might not be easy to answer, but is there any rule of thumb or any way to calculate what the enabling of the Security audit filtered on all users in all clients would have on the performance of the system?
We are trying to get all of our business to use the same audit logging settings, but we need to be able to show how performance might be affected by this change.
Thanks
Tomas

Hi Thomas,
that is not hard to tell, but impossible to tell....
Please refer to SAP note #429343 .
Suggestion: switch on the log on one of your servers (dynamic switch) and trace the
impact during normal daily business.
You will have then a basis for your decision.
If you activate it then generally, consider that every server should write into its own (local) directory to avoid big performance issues (network, file system).
