Import rawfiles with xnview mp7/27/2023 Here’s a photo converted by RPP using the P160NP preset, which mimics the look of Kodak’s Professional PORTRA 160NC (Natural Color) film.Ĭonverted by RPP using P160NP film preset. ![]() It’s limited because it isn’t trying to do much. But the basic point of RPP is conversion of the raw file. I can tweak exposure, color, sharpness, and even ask RPP to convert the image to mimic the look of certain types of film. Not only does this process take a little extra time, it also creates a fairly large extra file that would not be created if I never left Lightroom.Īctually, RPP’s user interface does allow me to make a number of basic adjustments prior to conversion. I have to leave Lightroom and open the raw file in RPP, convert it (usually to a tiff file), then reopen the converted file in Lightroom again to finish editing it (cropping, adjusting exposure, color, detail and sharpness, etc.). Now, with RPP in my workflow, it’s like old days once again. Back in the days before Lightroom and Aperture and other “raw workflow” applications came into being, you put your raw files on the computer and then you had to convert them to tiffs or jpegs before being able to work on them in Photoshop. Using RPP adds an explicit extra step to my workflow: conversion. That’s why I called RPP’s concept retro. I was using it without being aware of it. I remember when I first heard other people talking about ACR, I didn’t know what it was. And when I make an adjustment (say, increasing the contrast setting) Lightroom immediately updates what I see on screen. ![]() Lightroom’s raw conversion software, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), works more or less invisibly in the background, rendering images for display on my screen and, I presume, assisting when images are exported to another format (usually jpeg). I can open and view raw files in Lightroom as soon as I’ve imported them into Lightroom’s catalog. When I process a photo in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, I don’t really have to deal with conversion at all. I’ve been trying RPP out lately and I’m impressed. How does this one-trick pony survive? By doing its one trick really, really well. And you can’t do any digital asset management with it. It’s not a raw workflow program like Aperture or Lightroom. It’s a raw processor or converter, and that’s all that it is. If you have questions about sidecars ask here.but be sure to provide enough details in order to understand clearly where the problem is.Andrey Tverdokhleb’s Raw Photo Processor (RPP) is a Mac OS X application that in some ways seems rather retro in its concept. ![]() If you still have any questions about keywording please start a new thread. That said, please be aware that this thread isn't about keywording in general but xmp sidecars for RAW files which you can already generate manually by using View | Update files from database. especially the part about keywording (starts somewhere in the middle). Also, perhaps you should display the Category Sets pane which is in the same menu.įor features and a more extensive discussion see here: If it isn't displayed go to View | Data pane | Categories Pane to display it. To add keywords to any file in XnView MP (the keywords engine is file format agnostic) you just select the desired file(s) and go to Categories pane and work there. I tried that, but I'm not able to add keywords to my RAW files. ![]() Try adding some keywords and/or rating and/or color to your RAW file(s).
