ACDSee 14 uses XMP to embed ACDSee Metadata into each file. Only some file formats and file extensions support XMP.

These include GIF, JPEG, DNG, PNG, and TIF. In the case of these file formats, the ACDSee Metadata is embedded inside the

file and so you can rename or move the file outside of ACDSee 14 and still be able to retrieve the ACDSee Metadata. For

formats that currently do not support XMP, including RAW, PSD, ABR, the ACDSee Metadata is written to a sidecar file that

is stored in the same folder as its file. Because a sidecar file is separate from the file itself, you need to rename or move

them together, or you could lose the ACDSee Metadata permanently.
