The XMP Fields Node
Click on the XMP fields node.
When you click on the XMP fields node, you will see a list of all the available XMP fields in the schema
file. When expanding the XMP fields node you see the list of groups. Two groups (IPTC Core and
FotoWare IPTC) are predefined. A group is a way of making it easier to locate fields that you need to
view. The groups will appear in FotoWare applications to make it easier to find the fields you need. A
group can consist of fields from multiple different namespaces, as in the case of IPTC Core.
If you wish, you can create new fields and/or new groups (right-click on the XMP Fields node and select
Add new field or Add new group, respectively, from the pop-up menu) . Add a field to a group by
selecting the field and then dragging and dropping the field into the new group.
Adding or Editing Field Properties
As described earlier, it is possible both to add new fields and to edit previously created fields. Note that
when editing a previously created field, you can only change some of its properties.
Add a field by right-clicking on either a namespace or the XMP fields node and selecting Add field. If
you create the field from the namespace node, the namespace is automatically inserted.
Import a field from a file by right-clicking on a namespace and selecting Import field. Open a file
containing XMP data. You will then see the namespaces and fields available in the file, and you are given
the option to import selected fields.
