Use Exiftool, at the moment version 8.70 to create XMP of Photoshop psd files. These XMP file are in another process parsed. But sometimes it is impossible to read the xmp file, it gave me a "XMP SDK error: Duplicate property or field node" error. XMP is created on OSX with command exiftool -X inputfile.psd > outputfile.xmp

in the past we had the same issue, but after an update of exiftool the problem seemed solved (until now...)
included is an example .psd with .xmp. I can't see any duplicate nor has the tools to find them (sorry)

The -X option writes ExifTool-specific RDF/XML, not XMP.

Use this command instead:

exiftool inputfile.psd -o outputfile.xmp

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
