Per Layer Metadata Panel

The Per Layer Metadata Panel tutorial will highlight how to access and change the metadata of layers in an Adobe Photoshop document and retrieve the last date and time when a layer has been modified. The process to create the Per Layer Metadata Panel is to first to have a basic view and understand of metadata, program functions through JavaScript, finding the character ID code of developer's events, design the Adobe Photoshop Panel using Adobe Flex Builder, program functions through ActionScript, and using Photomerge for the Per Layer Metadata Panel to use on the layers. The result is an Adobe Photoshop Panel containing an area to display the layer's name, the layer's last changed date and time, the layer's metadata description, the layer's metadata comments, and a button to apply any user's changes to the metadata. For more information about accessing metadata, please refer to Adobe Developer's Center: Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP).
