XMP and RAW Files
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2019 2:02 pm
Hi to all and sorry if this may be a stupid question.
I'm trying xnview mp on Windows and i think it's a great software.
I have some doubts/Questions:
- is it possible to add some keywords to a raw files? in my case an olympus .orf file? i usually tag a raw file with some tag so when i will have time to develop it will be easier to find it.
- I tried to add keys and what I would have expected is to create a .xmp file ... but i can't find any xmp file is created... only a nameOfTheOriginalImage.org_original file is created. Is it normal?
- is there a way to add keywords only creating a sidecar files .xmp? maybe i'm wrong but i think that i should be better don't modify the raw file... i'm wrong? is there any other way to get what I want?
I don't understand when and why it's better to create a sidecar file when adding metadata.... in my usecase i only want to add keywords, title, description and little more....
Thanks in advance
Ale
ps.: attached you can find an image of my metadata configuration....
