Xnviewmp add text software#

Photo Supreme might be a bit easier to learn, but has sparse documentation and a good forum. It is harder to learn due to the broad function scope, but has a good help and a good forum. IMatch wants to write to the raw itself, but can be configured not to. There is IMatch (only Windows), Photo Supreme and Photo Mechanic (Windows and Mac) for ca.

Xnviewmp add text software#

I can’t really suggest you a free software for keywording your files. Most raw files also, but it is a more dangerous method if there is a bug in the software. If you want to have a feeling what can be contained in XMP, the Exiftool homepage can give you an insight.Ī jpg or tiff file can itself contain XMP data without any sidecars. The XMP also has a section called IPTC, which is the modern successor of the old one. It may refer to the old IPTC-IIM (supported by XnViewMP) and deprecated sincs 15 years or so. I guess this program is not the best tool for this job. I have not much experience with keywording in XnViewMP, but it is surely impotant, which dialogbox you use for it. But you can have parallel Lightroom edits in the XMP file without interfering with other software. The raw editing parameters can only be read by Lightroom or some other programs trying to mimick understanding some Lightroom edits. The other properties are not supported (yet). You should see the star ratings inside Photolab. What FastRawViewer adds to the XMP file is correct. and write only the info it can deal with in the XMP?)Īltough technically it is only a textfile, the tags inside can be really complicated. What i like to understand is what does DxOPL with settings made by FRV about exposure compensation WB settings,, stars, colorlabels (Or overwrite the XNviewMP application in the second step all not recognised data made by FRV. Then i would run it through XNviewMP for adding keywords and such so DxOPL’s indexing and search function can use those information writen in the XMP. Say if i use Fast Raw Viewer to create a XMPfile, which is basicly tailored for Adobe’s LR system as colortags and exposure corrections/ WB corrections and such.Īs in the corrections done (you can do some initial corrections in FRV wile examining the RAW-file and culling) in FRV and i use XMP creation it stores those Adobe tailored commandlines in a XMP file.(i hope i describe it correct if not please correct me.) What i not yet know is the route of a XMP file to DxOPL a thing to be considered? I understand that XMP is a sort off Standard, but in general it’s a textfile where command lines and information is stored to read by applications as DxOPL.Īnd as far as i know it’s a adding process when you run it through different applications who can write ina XMP. Because DxOPL does for now only read XMP/IPTC/EXIF and also export info in this matter on Tiff and Jpegs i try to be sure to understand it’s restrictions.(in order not to mesh up DxOPL’s readout and preset actions)
