Metadata

Adobe defines Metadata as 'a set of standardized information about a file.' That includes things like, the creator, location, name, resolution, color space, copyright, keywords, and camera data. Most digital cameras immediately attach some simple metadata to your images before it even leaves the camera, such as height, width, file format, and the time the image was taken.

Metadata is stored in the XMP file (Extensible Metadata Platform) which almost all adobe programs can read. Adjustments made to the raw file in camera raw are remembered in the XMP data.
