So in that respect, while better documented, it isn’t better than the camera raw formats (they still have to deal with the undocumented “maker note” sections in the raw files).Apply Image Corrections to Multiple Photos InstantlyĬamera Raw offers a wide variety of settings you can adjust. So in most cases, converting to DNG doesn’t have any advantages (archiving them is going to be just as much a headache as with any other digital format, the hardware is probably obsolete before the software)Īnd DNG is not an open standard format, but still owned by Adobe. DNGs don’t always conserve all the information from the original raw files, and dt is quite able to handle canon and sony raw files (except for the newest formats, perhaps). While that works, it’s not the best way to treat raw files. dng files which are then stored on hard disk in a folder structure created in Bridge’s Photo Downloader page (Year/Year-Month). Thanks for taking the time to look into this.įrom within Bridge, I download images from SD card and convert the native raw camera formats (Canon, Sony) to. From there I move to Darkroom for processing the files in the collection.Instead, I create a collection based on rating. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to import only those photos I rated back in Bridge (have an idea how to do that? It would be a nice feature). I open Darktable, and from import → add to library I choose the folder on the HD with the photos I wish to process.In Bridge, I add metadata to and rate (1 star) photos I wish to work on in Darktable.From within Bridge, I download images from SD card and convert the native raw camera formats (Canon, Sony) to.On a second thought, perhaps all this had something to do with behaviour not of the software but of the HD itself, such as sleeping. So, my choice is now to write the sidecar file ‘after edit’. In preferences, ‘Look for updated xmp files on startup’ is checked. Once sidecar file was created Darktable did not detect changes in ratings that were made in Bridge, even after re-importing. From then on, however, all changes to ratings must be made from within Darktable. Not sure how to explain it, but now it seems to work, even when I choose to write sidecar file ‘on import’.
