Clipping Path Details in Image Binary Metadata

If an image contains a clipping path, will the details of the clipping path always be embedded in the metadata of the binary (original rendition) itself?

This query pertains specifically to the metadata within the image file, not the metadata managed or extracted by AEM.

Sharing a video on how to create and save "Clipping Path" via Photoshop. This information is saved as "Clipping Path Name" under Photoshop metadata of an image.

AEM would not be able to extract this metadata OOTB, as its not part of XMP. A custom solution would be needed to extract this info during Asset Upload. For details:

Hi @aanchal-sikka 

 

If its a requirement, you maybe able to persist the EXIF (clipping path is one of the field )data for the image when its exported.  Refer this link for details - https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/keep-exif-when-exporting/td-p/9858087

 

It should then persist with the image. Please keep in mind the impact on image size due to additional metadata. Hope this helps!

 

Thanks

Narendra

    We are still in discussion with Adobe Engineering with the right way of embedding the information. I will update the thread once the ticket is resolved.
