If you have installed on your computer antivirus program Can scan all files on your computer, as well as each file individually. You can scan any file by right-clicking on the file and selecting the appropriate option to scan the file for viruses.
For example, in this figure it is highlighted file my-file.xmp, then you need to right-click on this file and select the option in the file menu "scan with AVG". When you select this option, AVG Antivirus will open and scan the file for viruses.
Sometimes an error may occur as a result incorrect installation software , which may be due to a problem encountered during the installation process. This may interfere with your operating system associate your XMP file with the correct application tool, influencing the so-called "file extension associations".
Sometimes simple reinstalling Microsoft Notepad may solve your problem by properly linking XMP with Microsoft Notepad. In other cases, problems with file associations may result from bad software programming developer and you may need to contact the developer for further assistance.
Advice: Try updating Microsoft Notepad to latest version to make sure you have the latest patches and updates installed.
This may seem too obvious, but often The XMP file itself may be causing the problem. If you received the file via an attachment Email or downloaded it from a website and the download process was interrupted (for example, a power outage or other reason), the file may become damaged. If possible, try getting a new copy of the XMP file and try opening it again.
Carefully: A damaged file can cause collateral damage to previous or existing malware on your PC, so it is important to keep your computer up-to-date with an up-to-date antivirus.
If your XMP file related to the hardware on your computer to open the file you may need update device drivers associated with this equipment.
This problem usually associated with media file types, which depend on successfully opening the hardware inside the computer, e.g. sound card or video card. For example, if you are trying to open an audio file but cannot open it, you may need to update sound card drivers.
Advice: If when you try to open an XMP file you receive .SYS file error message, the problem could probably be associated with corrupted or outdated device drivers that need to be updated. This process can be made easier by using driver update software such as DriverDoc.
If the steps do not solve the problem and you are still having problems opening XMP files, this may be due to lack of available system resources. Some versions of XMP files may require a significant amount of resources (e.g. memory/RAM, processing power) to properly open on your computer. This problem is quite common if you are using fairly old computer hardware and at the same time a much newer operating system.
This problem can occur when the computer is having trouble keeping up with a task because the operating system (and other services running in the background) may consume too many resources to open an XMP file. Try closing all applications on your PC before opening Extensible Metadata Platform File. Freeing up all available resources on your computer will provide the best conditions for attempting to open the XMP file.
If you completed all the steps described above and your XMP file still won't open, you may need to run equipment update. In most cases, even when using older versions of hardware, the processing power can still be more than sufficient for most user applications (unless you're doing a lot of CPU-intensive work, such as 3D rendering, financial/scientific modeling, or intensive multimedia work) . Thus, it is likely that your computer does not have enough memory(commonly called "RAM" or random access memory) to perform the task of opening a file.
Most common cause The problem with opening the XMP file is simply the lack of appropriate applications installed on your computer. In this case, it is enough to find, download and install an application that serves files in the XMP format - such programs are available below.

Please note that some encoded data from files that our computer does not read can sometimes be viewed in Notepad. In this way we will read fragments of text or numbers - It is worth checking whether this method also works in the case of XMP files.
What to do if the application from the list has already been installed?
Often an installed application should automatically associate with an XMP file. If this does not happen, then the XMP file can be successfully associated manually with the newly installed application. Simply right-click on the XMP file, and then from the available list select the "Choose default program" option. Then you need to select the “View” option and find your favorite application. The entered changes must be approved using the "OK" option.

Why can't I open an XMP file?
Problems with XMP files can also have other causes. Sometimes even installing software on your computer that supports XMP files will not solve the problem. The reason for the inability to open and work with the XMP file may also be:
Inappropriate XMP file associations in registry entries
- corruption of the XMP file we open
- XMP file infection (viruses)
- too little computer resource
- outdated drivers
- removing the XMP extension from the Windows registry
- incomplete installation of a program that supports the XMP extension
Fixing these issues should result in XMP files being able to open and work with ease. In case your computer still has problems with files, you need to take the help of an expert who will determine the exact cause.
My computer does not show file extensions, what should I do?
In standard system settings Windows user The computer does not see the XMP file extension. This can be successfully changed in the settings. Just go to the "Control Panel" and select "View and Personalization". Then you need to go to "Folder Options" and open "View". In the "View" tab there is an option "Hide extensions of known file types" - you must select this option and confirm the operation by clicking the "OK" button. At this point, the extensions of all files, including XMP, should appear sorted by file name.
Good evening! When I wrote about , I left one out important point. Not everyone knows how to use presets in .xmp format. In fact, xmp is not a preset in the classical sense, since it cannot, as far as I know, be saved directly through the .
However, some sites offer presets for download in .xmp format, it’s unclear to me why. But this is already the case.
The way to use such presets is non-classical, as I wrote earlier.
Step 1. Before using a preset, we need to place it in the folder with the picture we want to apply it to, and rename it to the name of the picture, but maintaining the format. Here's an example:
This format may not work correctly with the jpg/jpeg photo format (it worked for me about five times), use RAW.
Step 2. Open the photo with which you want to use the preset. Right-click and select "Metadata -> Read metadata from file".
Step 3. Agree with the proposal by clicking the “Read” button. 
Ready! Preset applied :)
Now you can start transferring to your mobile device.
UPDATE: Starting with version 7.3 of Lightroom, the extension of preset files has been changed from .lrtemplate on .xmp, we will move on to more new version. Stay tuned for updates.
If our system cannot cope with the .XMP extension and all automatic and semi-automatic methods of teaching it this art have failed, we are left with manual editing of the Windows registry. This registry stores all information relating to our work. operating system, including connecting file extensions to programs to serve them. Team REGEDIT inscribed in the window “search for programs and files” or "launch in the case of older versions of the operating system, it gives us access to the registry of our operating system. All operations performed in the registry (even not very complex ones regarding the .XMP file extension) have a significant impact on the operation of our system, so before making any modifications, you should make sure that a copy of the current registry is made. The section we are interested in is the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The following instructions show, step by step, how to modify the registry, specifically the registry entry containing information about the .XMP file.
Step by step
- Click “start” button
- In the “find programs and files” window (in older versions of Windows this is the “Run” window), enter the command “regedit” and then confirm the operation with the “ENTER” key. This operation will launch the system registry editor. This tool will allow you not only to view existing records, but also to modify, add or delete them manually. Due to the fact that the Windows registry is key to its operation, all operations carried out on it should be performed judiciously and consciously. Carelessly removing or modifying an inappropriate key may permanently damage the operating system.
- Using the ctr+F key combination or the Edit menu and the “Find” option, find the .XMP extension you are interested in by entering it in the search engine window. Confirm by pressing OK or using the ENTER key.
- Backup copy. It is extremely important to create a backup copy of the registry before making any changes to it. Every change has an impact on the operation of our computer. In extreme cases, erroneous modification of the registry may result in the system being unable to restart.
- The value you are interested in regarding the extension can be manually edited by changing the keys assigned to the found extension.XMP. In this place, you can also independently create the desired entry with the extension a.XMP if it is not in the registry. All available options are located in the handy menu (right mouse button) or in the "Edit" menu after placing the cursor in the appropriate place on the screen.
- After you finish editing the entry for the .XMP extension, close the system registry. The introduced changes will take effect after restarting the operating system.
Metadata is data about data. Metadata is a set of standardized information about a file, such as author data, resolution, color space, copyright and keywords, attached to the file. For example, most digital cameras add some basic information to video files, such as date, duration, file type. Other metadata can be entered as a short list in the Owner section or in the description of the scene being shot in Adobe Premiere Pro. Additional metadata can be supplemented with information such as location, author's name, copyright. Because you can distribute, view, and use this metadata across Adobe Creative Suite applications, you can use it to speed up your workflow and organize your files.
Extensible Metadata PlatformXMP) is a metadata standard used by Adobe applications. Metadata stored in other formats, such as Exif, IPTC (IIM), GPS, and TIFF, can be synchronized with XMP, making it easier to use and manage. For example, image adjustments made using Adobe Camera Raw are saved in the XMP metadata format. The XMP standard is based on XML.
Metadata principle consists in creating a set of properties characteristic of a given process. For example, dynamic media data includes data such as Scene and Shooting Location, which is important for digital video projects. EXIF, on the other hand, includes data specific to digital photography, such as Exposure Time and Aperture Value. The Dublin Core format contains more general data - "date" and "title". To display a tooltip with information about a specific metadata presentation format, hover your mouse over the Metadata panel. Using the Metadata panel commands, you can create your own media format that you can import and distribute along with other XML files.
Metadata is divided into two main categories: static metadata And temporary metadata. Static metadata is metadata that contains data regarding the entire resource. For example, copyright information and credit information for a video clip apply to the entire clip. Temporal metadata is metadata that is associated with a specific point in time of dynamic media. The beat marker in Soundbooth and the metadata created by the Speech Search feature in Soundbooth and Premiere Pro are examples of temporal metadata.
Adobe Story converts scripted (script) information into XMP metadata, which helps automate the creation of shooting scripts, shot lists, and more.
