Introduction
When working with Photoshop files on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC x64, users may notice that the File Properties tab under the Details tab in the file explorer does not display any entries, even after saving the file. This issue can be quite puzzling, as one might expect the file properties to reflect the metadata saved with the file. In this article, we will discuss the possible reasons behind this behavior and provide some solutions.
Understanding File Properties and Metadata
File properties are data that describe various aspects of a file, such as its size, creation and modification dates, and attributes. Metadata, on the other hand, refers to data that describes the data contained in a file. For example, a digital image file may contain metadata about the camera settings used to capture the image, the date and time of capture, and other relevant information.
Photoshop Saved Files and File Properties
When saving a Photoshop file, Adobe Photoshop saves the image data, as well as some metadata, such as the file format, version, and creator information. However, Photoshop does not save all metadata by default. For instance, the camera settings used to capture the image or the history of editing steps are not saved when saving in the default PSD format.
Why Are There No Entries in the File Properties Tab?
When working with Photoshop files on Windows 10, the lack of entries in the File Properties tab may be due to the fact that Adobe Photoshop does not save all metadata by default. This means that the file properties tab is not updated with the metadata that is not saved with the file. It is essential to note that this behavior is not exclusive to Windows 10 or Photoshop, as other file formats and applications may exhibit similar behavior.
Solutions
If you need to preserve and access metadata with your Photoshop files, consider saving your files in a different format that supports embedded metadata. For instance, saving as a TIFF or JPEG file format will preserve the metadata, and the File Properties tab in Windows 10 will display the relevant information.
