In what format will I get my images back?

You can choose to have your images processed to JPG (in RGB) files and sent back to you on a DVD, your hard drive, thumb drive, download, or we could e-mail you the XMP files. We include your XMP files with every order.

What are XMPs and what do I do with them?

Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a labeling technology that allows you to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the file itself. With XMP, desktop applications and back-end publishing systems gain a common method for capturing, sharing, and leveraging this valuable metadata, opening the door for more efficient job processing, workflow automation, and rights management, among many other possibilities. With XMP, Adobe has taken the “heavy lifting” out of metadata integration, offering content creators an easy way to embed meaningful information about their projects and providing industry partners with standards-based building blocks to develop optimized workflow solutions.

When we send you your XMPs, you want to copy and paste them into the folder where your images are. In Lightroom or in Bridge, you will be able to see your images change!

Note: JPG images do not come with XMPs because the data is not embedded in the file when the image is taken.
