Just a guess, but I would imagine that there are only certain fields which are editable and perhaps they must be done from within the program (Elements) to prevent falsification of data. For example, someone could try to change the Copyright information after the fact to claim work that was not theirs if what you are proposing was allowed. I'm guessing that what you are experiencing is by design, for the integrity of the data.
As I say though, this is just a guess. On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 8:31 AM, Alan C <[email protected]> wrote: > In Elements 10, I can EXPORT an .xmp sidecar file & edit it with, say, > MSWORD.
