That means that, if I view an edited file using an Adobe product, it can see the changes but other viewers are unaware of the additional data and ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying images show a JPEG file that I opened in ACR (via Bridge) to adjust the exposure and to straighten the image. Bridge shows the updated file as being 2848&#215;1894 pixels in size and the image edits are visible in the preview:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/acr-edit-jpeg-bridge.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"JPEG file edited with Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 and viewed in Bridge CS3\" class=\"inline\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Mac OS X Finder (or any other image viewer) sees the original 3008&#215;2000 pixel image, still underexposed and leaning to one side:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/acr-edit-jpeg-finder.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"JPEG file edited with Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 and viewed in the Mac OS X Finder\" class=\"inline\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If, like me, you like your digital asset management software to maintain the original images untouched and only perform non-destructive edits, then this may come as a bit of a shock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few days back, I was extolling the virtues of the Sidecar (.XMP) file format that Adobe uses for storing updated metadata and edits to digital images in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR): &#8220;It turns out that Bridge (together with ACR) is exactly what I needed to organise my images, open them in ACR (and optionally &hellip;
