![]() ![]() I very much like both PM and Raw Therapee and I have found ways to work around the incompatibilities. Then I guess the issues changes as to whether Raw Therapee and PM play nice with each others. xmp files, then it's a whole new ball game. But of course, if Raw Therapee carries through and changes from. And adding GIMP into the mix would complicate things even further. xmp files (I believe) and thus I wouldn't trust metadata to faithfully survive the journey from PM to Raw Therapee to the resultant jpeg (or tiff) although I haven't explicitly tested this. I then use PM to remove all metadata from those files and then add back the metadata that I want. But I only use Raw Therapee to develop the final jpg. Consequently these need to be handled manually for copy/move, ftp, delete, etc. The main issue that I run into is that PM doesn't understand. This started out as SO confusing, but the various YouTube videos were a huge help to get me started, and this forum seems to be a goldmine of good information and answers. Presumably when this is done, I will have the original DNG image, the sidecar info file from PM, the sidecar editing file from RT, and most likely an edited and saved JPG image, the result of my RT editing (possibly several, if I re edit several times until I am satisfied). Then, I get to edit them in Raw Therapee, which does not modify the original DNG image, but creates another "sidecar" file for each image I have worked on, containing the editing commands. I understand now what you mean - at that point, I'm "done". The images will be filed away in a logical order in an area separate from my Lightroom images. All of this will be more easily findable thanks to the PM naming tools. From filling out all the information, I will have a "sidecar" file for these images, with the added information. I guess what I'm getting at, is I'd like to use PM as a tool to get images into LR, along with all the bonus features from PM, but at the end of the day, I don't plan to keep the folders that I used for ingesting the images they will be deleted.įollowing what you wrote, for these infrared photos, I will use PM to ingest the raw images from the card, saving them in a properly named folder (with PM), and rename the DNG images using PM. I usually shoot DNG+JPG, but if it's images I don't care much about, only JPG.and sometimes a mix. ![]() and for that matter, can I tell PM when it's ingesting images, to ingest only DNG (raw) images, unless there is a JPG image without a corresponding DNG image? (My Fuji X100f shoots both, but if I want to use their "digital" focal length setting, or some other settings, it only shoots in JPG. ![]() That's what I am hoping for.įollow-up - does the "stationery" data stay either inside the image, or attached to the image? If I shot in RAW + JPG, and later delete all the JPG files from LR (not really needed), does all this data remain somehow? So if I later search for an image in LR using a keyword, LR will find any keywords that have been entered with either program. ![]() If I then add yet more keywords, using LR, they will be added to the PM keywords. When I ingest a photo into PM, fill out all the labels and data I want, including the stationery, then import the image into LR where it will remain, someplace within the LR folders, the PM keywords will remain with the photo. So far, very good! That's what I hoped for, but someone in these forums was saying the PM data got over-written by Lightroom, or vice versa. ![]()
