I create digital scrapbooks. I edit my pics locally in Lightroom - they are mostly jpgs. These are usually specific copies of images I have exported from Lightroom solely for the purpose of going in the scrapbook. The local edits all have xmp files because they have been previously exported. I don't want to have to save them again - I'm talking hundreds of photos spanning years. Hours spent on edits now I have to go back and re-save / export them all. It would be fantastic if InDesign just read the xmp file and brought them in with the edits. Once I have them in InDesign I just save the spread as a PNG and finish the pages off in Photoshop. I could just bypass InDesign, but nothing beats my system of using my template layouts with image placeholders and placing 8-24 pics at a time.
