- TIFF: Read, Write
- EXIF-TIFF: Read, Write
- JFIF-JPEG: Read, Write
- EXIF-JPEG: Read, Write

In TIFF and EXIF-TIFF formats, XMP metadata is located in the main IFD.
In JFIF-JPEG and EXIF-JPEG formats, XMP metadata is located in one of the App1 segments. Note that EXIF metadata is also located in an App1 segment.
In PSD format, XMP metadata is located in the Photoshop Resources tree.
