XMP from DNG files

[gio91ber]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to extract xmp data from some DNG files in a few nested folder (year/month/event name) as I managed to recover the original camera raw files and I'd like to keep the edits I've done in the last few years in an xmp file so I could apply those to the CR2s/NEFs as well.

I tried

Code Select Expand

exiftool -xmp -b -w xmp FOLDERPATH but it creates XMP files both for DNG and JPG files and only does it for the root directory.

I'd like to ask if there's any way I can extract xmp metadata from DNG files only and create XMP files beside the original DNGs in a nested folder structure.

Thanks in advance

I should have solved it this way:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -ext DNG -xmp -b -w xmp -r FOLDERPATH
