![]() Of course, Imatch is smart enough to realize this is the same pic, so all categories and metadata are still there.įace recog: Only the face annotations in Imatch are wrong if the new file is cropped. So when DXO generates the new Jpg file, it does not contain the metadata (except rating perhaps). ![]() Unfortunately, DXO does not seem to pick the metadata up from the xmp sidecar. (I am pretty sure this can be simplified in Imatch given how powerful it is, can anybody just let me know the name of the functionality to launch the raw file from the jpg file? RTFM comments are fine).Įxport and replace in Imatch: When I am done in DXO, I export the file, thereby replacing the master file in Imatch. the 30% mentioned before), I go to the Media&Folders view in Imatch, disable the "Hide buddy files" filter, double-click on the corresponding raw file (Test.Arw). Raw processing: When I decide a picture (Test.jpg) is worth processing (i.e. I can write it to the Jpg or an XMP sidecar. Rate/Meta/Category: Step one of my workflow is to cull, rate and generate metadata (GPS and other stuff) and rename files. Also, I use Imatch as well on a laptop which only has the Jpgs but not the Raw files.) So having the Jpg as master ensures I always use the same master file - the raw file is only there for the Raw converter. For 50% of my images, I delete the raw file after a few years without ever having used it. For another 20% I keep the Raw in case but never process it. For another 20% I do that later, possibly half a year later. For 10% of my images, I immediately process the Raw file to create a better Jpg file, replacing the out-of-camera Jpg. (Why is Jpg Master? I want to view Jpgs in full-res for rating and for viewing. All have the same filename for simplicity reasons, so it is Test.Jpg, Test.ARW,, and if need be Test.xmp. In Imatch, Master is JPG, while the Raw file and DXO's DOP as well as any XMP files are buddies. All related threads in this forum seem decades old (except one which did not cover my questions), so I am starting a new one. I am still struggling to establish a clean workflow. ![]() I have been using Lightroom for a decade but have now switched to DXO.
