Do step 3 & 4 before opening for editing. 3-4 and 2+4 are different 
editing operations.

The best workflow is update you metadata, save, then convert/develop the 
image. The metadata is then transferred to the new versions created.

Alternatively, after converting the image and saving it you can either 
(a) update the metadata in the original file and click on "Apply to all 
versions" or (b) select both files and update the metadata and click on 
"Apply".
