7. Linkage with other applications

Information such as ratings and flags set in Visual Story can be downloaded as an XMP file and applied to RAW files saved on a computer. This can streamline your work in other applications. Use these features as needed.

The following information can be passed between applications using XMP files. Because this information is embedded in image files as text, it can be found by searching.

  • Rating specified for individual images
  • Selected: Whether flagged as delivery candidates
  • Highlight: Whether specified as highlight images
  • Cover: Whether specified as an story gallery cover
