I moved away from Adobe and need to update my workflow. DxO PhotoLabs 5 is saving edits and meta data in their own .dop sidecar (which is an xmp file in anything but extension, see sample attachment). After ratings (xmp) and processing (dop) i end up with these files:
- P1187890.RW2
- P1187890.XMP
- P1187890.JPG
- P1187890.RW2.dop
One of the tags/labels in the .dop file that i am interested in seeing in a contact sheet browser (i.e. Photo Mechanic or First RAW Viewer) is the
processing status of an image:
- Processing Status tag not present
- Processing Status = 1 [raw edits made, .dop has being created]
- Processing Status = 3 [the image has been processed/exported]
How can I transfer the
processing status tag into the XMP?
I would like to translate the
processing status into a colour label, i.e. if processing status = 3, then xmp colour label = green.
The extra '.rw2' naming syntax is another stumbling block.
Is this possible with ExifTool?
I previously worked with Adobe Camera Raw and to flag the presence of RAW edits I ran an EXIFTool script that sets the colour label based on the filesize of the xmp (above a certain size = RAW edits present).
