xmp.set_property('http://yournamespace.com/cube/', 'Dimensions', 'Time, Product, Region')
xmp.set_property('...', 'Sales_Amount', 125000)
xmp.close()

  • Embed into Target File

    exiftool -XMP-cube:Dimensions="Time,Product" -XMP-cube:TotalSales=45000 target.pdf

    • Use this if you have Photoshop and want to bake a LUT into an ACR profile.

    Steps:

  • With the LUT applied, export a Camera Raw/Lightroom profile:
  • Alternatively, use third-party scripts/plugins (e.g., ProfileConverters or 3rd-party LUT-to-DCP plugins) to bake into .xmp/.dcp.
  • Install the produced profile into CameraRaw/Lightroom as in Method A.

    • This route is more hands-on and may require trial-and-error to retain hue/saturation/contrast fidelity. convert-cube-to-xmp
