FeralCoton Posted November 15, 2015 Share #61 Posted November 15, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes. I changed that, but the newest Lightroom version seems not to do it. When I downgraded it was ok. Perhaps it is part of the 'new' import interface Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi FeralCoton, Take a look here Color Photography and the Leica M (New article at overgaard.dk). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Tmx Posted November 15, 2015 Share #62 Posted November 15, 2015 No, it's not. I use the newest version of LR and get both type of files imported Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share #63 Posted November 15, 2015 Before you insert any card, make two important changes in Lightroom: 1) Lightroom > Preferences .... > General > x in "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos" (should show DNG and JPG next to each other). 2) Lightroom > Catalog Settings .... > Metadata > x in "Automatically write changes into XMP" (ensures that edits, stars and all is in the DNG files and JPG files and not only in the catalog (this way if you loose the catalog, you can drag the files into a new catalog and still see stars, edits, crops, etc).

MT0227 Posted November 16, 2015 Share #64 Posted November 16, 2015 2) Lightroom > Catalog Settings .... > Metadata > x in "Automatically write changes into XMP" (ensures that edits, stars and all is in the DNG files and JPG files and not only in the catalog (this way if you loose the catalog, you can drag the files into a new catalog and still see stars, edits, crops, etc). What if I've just done this for the first time? Will it apply all historical edits, flags, stars....etc I've made to my DNG files I've previously imported? i.e. can and will it sync after the fact?

Adam Posted November 16, 2015 Share #65 Posted November 16, 2015 What if I've just done this for the first time? Will it apply all historical edits, flags, stars....etc I've made to my DNG files I've previously imported? i.e. can and will it sync after the fact? I believe that it does. Writing to XMP transfers info stored in the LR catalog directly into the image metadata. If you want to check if previous edits were copied, change the setting to write to XMP, once the info is written, create a new catalog and import a few images from the previous catalog. The changes you did should be there. In my case it took a while for the program to write to XMP the existing info I had, so I assume that previous edits are also recorded.

FeralCoton Posted November 16, 2015 Share #66 Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for. the info. I had thought of the metadata bit. I reinstalled lightroom and now both types of file appear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works on it on and off for a while but will eventually get it written to all files where the original is present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
