Import JPEG photos using embedded XMP metadata

The import photos function is used to import multiple JPG photos that include embedded metadata in one operation.

Adobe Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a standard for processing and storing standardized and proprietary metadata, created by Adobe Systems Inc. Thus, one can use a product such as Adobe Bridge to add keywords and other tags to photos, which are then saved, along with their embedded metadata, as JPG files.

Before attempting this procedure, place all the photos you wish to import in the [wcm root]/business/import/in/photos/ folder.

To import photos, proceed as follows:

  1. Beside Source folder, enter the path to the photos.

  2. Click Start import. The photos will be imported and placed in the WCM system folder for photos (img/photos/biz) with all other WCM photos.
