XMP in the dng file

Hi, I read this thread (Option to save the sidecar XMP for DNG), and have the same problem. It would be wonderful convert my images to DNG, but I'm not for the exact reason discussed for example the backup files is much longer with DNG. I can't find a resolution about it in the post, and I was wondering it it's solved. , I regularly work on 2 computers, so to carry an external drive which I synchronize my files and my LRCAT file. It's practice and asy, ensuring that I always have a backup as well (I also have another non-portable backup).

Currently, I keep my images to the native raw format because it simplifies backup/synchronization. Why? because only the xmp files change, not the native file, making it super fast for synchronization and backup.

But I prefer to convert my native raw files to DNG for the future (different native formats of different manufacturers, you know the situation).

So, in the end, can e convert native RAW to DNG format * and * maintain a direct xmp file? has someone (Adobe?) has decided to offer this option?

Otherwise, TIFF is a viable option? and information would be TIFF aside?

Thanks, Phil

If asked to Lightroom writes or NOT writes XMP in the DNG, DNG file changes every time that you change.

Hmm, this only happens to me if I uncheck the catalog settings > metadata > changes automatically write in XMP.  When I change a DNG in the develop module or change its metadata in the library, the metadata status indicator module indicates that the catalog metadata has changed, but has not been written back to the file:

But the date of the last modification of the operating system as shown in the Finder or Explorer of files has not changed.

Are you sure that the date of last modification changes for you?

  • Why LIGHTROOM changes the DNG files on it s own?

    I noticed this quite a while and it s annoying as hell when you have an automated backup process.

    LR regularly DNG files... and LR changing again and again DNG files.

    This means that files that are modified yesterday are perhaps changed again today.

    I've noticed this with all versions of LR4.x and also LR5.

    so I just create a catalog from TEST to test.

    I Don t change anything on this catalogue of test images.

    all I do is open the catalog and browse the files and allow the LR open and idle for some time.

    and guess what... my DNG (and only the DNG files) files are constantly changed for no apparent reason.

    to check what has changed in the DNG files I use exiftool and this is the result:

    new file:

    InstanceID xmp.iid:c0474916-c24c-2448-b42c-522076f5a25d

    old file:

    InstanceID xmp.iid:2e88ce2a-2e5a-b34d-a85b-2af2ab3494da

    I also did a comparison hexagonal just now on these modified files:

    http://i.imgur.com/FAaZz.jpg

    Another example:

    http://i.imgur.com/vzMbS.jpg

    I have the function "automatically write changes to the XMP" lit.

    but when I Don t change anything... There is nothing to write in the files... right?

    Once again to do this 100% clear...

    DNG files are in the LR catalog for months or years (not in the test catalog but my catalog of actual work).

    DNG files are not affected by me (no changes are made in the LR modules, no new keywords or metadata changes etc.).

    only what I posted above is changed in DNG files.

    Does any other file formats (JPG, PSD, TIFF) in my catalog.

    I don't use DNG files with any software then LR. I have not the same seen in another program.

    PS: of course, I wrote about it in adobe... but as usual, nothing happens.

    even with regard to my graphic problems... I send a sample file of adobe... they write in return that the mistake could be reproduced... and 5 point later the error is always in LR.

    I do not use the DNG file format, but tried a test DNG file and could not resume this problem on my 64 bit Windows 7 using LR4.4.1 System. I checked the InstanceID by using EXIFToolGUI and he only changed when you do a CTRL + S save metadata in the file. Simply navigate the image in the library module or develop as well as other images in the same folder has NOT caused the InstanceID to change. I also did a search on 'DNG write metadata' in the Photoshop family forum and only found this post regarding the behavior of CTRL + S with DNG files:

    http://feedback.Photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/only_write_metadata_if_out_of_date

    If what you say is true, I believe there are many posts complaining about the issue. I have no doubt this problem, but logically it should happen only if somehow a CTRL + S or ' save metadata to File command is get called.

    Maybe send a file and we can test it on our systems. Please provide some details on the procedures of LR you use that causes the InstanceID to change with this file. Do not assume that we understand what you are doing!

  • Develop settings lost after re - import the DNG files folder

    I use LR for several months and - after having used to his peculiararities - love the program.

    Tonight, I have re-imported one file to DNG files that I had previously withdrawn from the LR - using the import option 'Add '. When the develop module, I noticed that my original develop settings have been applied is no longer.

    These settings are not incorporated into the DNG files? How could they get lost? They wrote, too, when re - import files?

    I always back up my catalog before closing. The backup of the catalog contain the original developing parameters for these DNG files?

    I know I must have done something wrong! Please inform and explain. Thank you.

    The development parameters are only in the catalog, unless you have autowrite to xmp enabled in the settings of catalog or if you have selected the image files and saved the data to develop with Cmd/Ctrl-S to the selected files.

    When you delete the files from the catalog data to develop will too after a short period (allows cancellations) so if you have a catalog of backup with files until they have been removed you could open that save develop settings and then open your catalog of work and read the metadata,.

    I keep all my files in Lightroom, as it is my rather than the operating system file manager. Then I know (I hope) where everything is and what happens to my images.

    Your type of error has been made by many, including myself and is part of the learning curve for digital imaging!

  • How can I synchronize the folder with the dng files original with the lightroom folder, where I've renamed the photos

    My drive hard extern lost all of a folder with pictures of wedding in it. I woked on the .dng files, renamed them and does in jpg format. This morning I couldn't find the folder with the original and jpg files more. So I have the original images in my backup hard drive. My question is, as I've renamed them and in the folder that I took of the backup folder, they still have the original name, I don't know how their synchronization.

    Hi gabyl,

    You can try to rename the original files on your back upward and convert to DNG so and link them to the missing images as a result of the article.

  • Is it possible to choose Import in the DNG file only?

    I couldn't get any support or contact information, so I try to get an answer to my question, as follows, from here.

    Is it possible to choose Import in the DNG file only?

    I like to keep the disk space and the ability to remove unwanted jpg copies is unnecessary work for me a lot of your time.

    Then nobody knows where to send the program errors or suggestions for improvement?

    Thanks in advance

    You can also make sure that you don't have the following "Processing JPEG files" option to raw as separate photos selected. See the screen capture.

  • LR 4 modifies the DNG files

    LR4 bought last night - mainly interested in the moiré removal tool.  Tried on two DNG files.  Seemed to remove the color model, but not the contours of the intensity.  BUT, after this test, I opened the DNG files in Photoshop CS5.  In Photoshop, there are now ugly brush models where the tool has been applied.  And DNG files now show a "last modified" date today.  Looks like LR4 can corrupt the DNG files

    I have studied the file (thanks Harold) and have the following share:

    1. the DNG file is not damaged.

    2. the DNG file wrong (more precisely, stale) setting values of local correction for brushed regions.  The recorded values indicate an increase in exposure, that's why the strokes appear visible in older versions of ACR (like 6.3 or 6.4) supported by PV 2003/2010, but not PV 2012.

    3. the reason for the incorrect/fade value being registered for PV 2003/2010 settings is because of a bug in Lr 4.  I will work with the team to address this issue.

    4. in the meantime, to remove the visible effects "brush stroke", you can delete the local corrections, or click an individual PIN (once the adjustment Brush tool is selected) and reset the exposure to 0.

    5. you will not encounter this problem if you open the image in Lr 4 directly in ACR 6.7 RC.

    6. the reason why the problem is a not disappear in this case when you tried ACR 6.7 RC, is because you have already saved the image to an earlier version of the ACR 6 parameters.  In other words, you've come this way: Lr 4-> ACR 6.3 / 6.4-> ACR 6.7 RC.  When you have saved the image settings (for example, by clicking 'Done') in ACR 6.3/6.4, this threw your moiré adjustment.  This is because older versions of ACR do not understand the new settings (e.g., the moiré).

  • The "Compression" in DNG Converter does compress the JPEG preview or the DNG file?

    In the dialog box Prederence DNG Converter, is a "Compression" option, it does not compress the JPEG preview or the DNG file?

    According to the definition in the DNG specification compression compresses the image (JPEG Lossless algorithm) RAW data

    It makes no sense to compress a JPG preview because this image is still compressed and smal.

  • Convert RAW CR2 + XMP convert them to those in the DNG file or converts just the CR2?

    It's a stupid question that, somehow, after hours of research, I can't find a definitive answer for:

    I have an existing photos stored in catalog. CR2 (Canon RAW) format, more accompanying files XMP sidecar on the photos I edited.  If I decide to convert those to the DNG format, is the conversion process automatically pick the changes I made in the XMP files and write the changes to the DNG format resulting?  Or is just in process of conversion convert the CR2-> DNG only, ignoring the XMP file?

    Stupid question, but a very important!

    Bonus question:

    The conversion process leaves CR2 and XMP files in the folder as they are and simply add the DNG format in addition to those?  Or he removes the source of CR2 and XMP files, REPLACING those with the DNG format?

    The default mode of Lightroom doesn't create sidecar files. There are not.

    Even when the sidecar files are present, Lightroom does not use them for anything, whether Lightroom uses the information contained in the catalogue of files (except when importing, in this case the parameters of development in the sidecar files are written to the Lightroom database and then used to display the photo)

    The purpose of the sidecar for other software files is indeed store development parameters, as there is no other place to put this information. However, it is not the purpose of the sidecar files in Lightroom. Where they exist, the sidecar files are simply a way to store your settings outside of Lightroom development and allows Lightroom adjustments must be communicated to other software that can read Lightroom development settings.

  • LR5 stores inside the DNG file adjustments?

    LR5 stores the settings in its catalog.  It also stores the adjustments inside the file to DNG or is added only to export in a DNG file?

    The default mode of operation of Lightroom stores any changes in the photo file.

    You might like the final terms of the edition (but not the history of changes) in the DNG or another file of the photo. Use Ctrl/Cmd-S or activate the option to save the changes to xmp automatically.

  • help - a few corrupt after copying the dng files

    Hello

    I don't know where to post this, but here's my problem:

    When I copy files dng from the computer internal hard drive to a hard drive, many files become corrupt (I guess). When I opened the copies, photoshop just says that he "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type." On OS x, you can usually see a thumbnail preview for each file, but files corrupt, there is only a symbol of dng, and when I enlarge him to preview it will not also show the image.

    Of the original files all work perfectly fine. Oddly, not all copied files get damaged. I tried two different hard disks, both had the same problem. copy to another location on the internal hard disk works without problem.

    A that someone has encountered such a problem? I couldn't find anything like it online, I don't even know if it's a hardware or software related issue.

    Thank you!

  • Lightroom 5.7 no display camera profiles in the DNG file

    Hello

    I just installed Adobe DNG Converter 9.0 and converted some Nikon D7200 fles to DNG for import into Lightroom 5.7. It works great except for the specific profiles of camera does not. Only the Adobe Standard is displayed.

    When I open the same DNG file in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6, [he] correctly shows all the camera for the D7200 specific profiles. What I am doing wrong?

    Here's what looks like the develop module camera menu profile in LR 5.7

    LR57.jpg

    And in Photoshop CS6 Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) 8.7.1.311

    PSCS6ACR.jpg

    Thank you for your understanding.

    gonzalu, the reason is because the profiles are installed separately for Camera Raw vs Lightroom.

    If you use Lr 5.x, then to get the additional D7200 profiles visible in Lr, you have to manually copy/install the.  Try looking here:

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D7200

    then copy the contents of this folder here:

    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfilesusernameC:\Users\

    (where you should replace your real username, above).

    Then restart Lr and profiles should be visible now.

    (You don't need to perform this step if you use Lr CC, because the new profiles are included in this installation).

  • The DNG files CR2 format conversion

    With Adobe DNG Converter, is there no way to automatically delete the original CR2 files because they are converted to the DNG format, so that I don't end up with two versions of each file, one with a CR2 and the other with a suffix DNG? I could not find this option in the preferences of a DNG.

    Thank you very much!

    Not in the DNG Converter. However, if you use the DNG Converter to download your images from the card you can simply convert that they are downloaded. Then all you have to do is to format the card in your camera again. If you convert to DNG using Lightroom, after the images have been imported you can set your options to remove the original raw file after successful conversion.

    Jim is Correct. Here's the official statement:

  • Are fixtures in the DNG files reviewed metadata

    I just experienced an unusual event. I use lightroom 5.2 on windows 7. I've been using lightroom since the original beta version.

    I just finished hours to edit DNG files. I selected all the thumbnails and trained to a collection. I noticed that after by sliding down as all the thumbnails showed the icon there is a conflict in the metadata. I selected all the thumbnails and reset the metadata. I lost all my changes.

    Unfortunately, I had not yet recorded a new catalog.

    Is there a way to retrieve my changes?

    Jim :-(

    Jim,

    You * must * see "Of Metadata" - you? - what usually shows when you read disk metadata in the catalog. You * don't * see the other two steps, because this is just what happened to be the last two steps, I made for the picture before reading the metadata. Have you tried clicking on the second to the last stage of the story and then the who..., to see if you can understand what stage returns your photos to the desired state, before the Oops?

    On the other hand, if you have a previous Catalog/backup, you can resort to without losing too much, well, that's what backups are for.

  • Lightroom for mobile: how to get the DNG file

    Hello

    Lightroom Mobile synchronizes with a desktop version of Lightroom.

    When shooting with the camera in Lightroom, the images are synchronized on your Adobe account:

    When you open a catalog on a Mac/PC, you can synchronize only one catalog. To do this, turn on sync:
