A bit more information that might help you.

This code will dump the xmp details of a document in Photoshop to the Desktop, this will show the different metadata formats that you would need to populate in the correct format.

[code]

#target photoshop;

if(documents.length){

var xmpInfo = new File(Folder.desktop + "/xmpInfo.txt");

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");    

var xmp = new XMPMeta(activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData); 

xmpInfo.open("w");

xmpInfo.encoding="UTF-8";

xmpInfo.writeln(xmp.dumpObject());

xmpInfo.close();

};

[/code]

If you have Extendscript Toolkit installed, look under "Help" and you will find "Javascript Tools Guide CC" that covers XMP

Here is a Bridge script that will create a jpg and populate it with IPTC fields.

[code]

#target bridge;

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");

var jpeg = new File(Folder.desktop+ "/TestMe.jpg" );

var bitmap = new BitmapData( 100, 100 );

app.syncronousMode = true;

bitmap.exportTo( jpeg );

app.syncronousMode = false;

var xmp = new XMPMeta();
