You have to force metadata export to the JPG/DNG files.ĭo any of the open-source Linux image management programs allow reading/writing the keywords to DNG & JPG files, without requiring XMP files ? Lightroom can write the metadata into DNG and JPG files, though unfortunately, by default, it still uses XMP files for the metadata. I'm looking to move away from Aftershot, but I also don't want my metadata storage to depend on XMP files. Aftershot has an option to export its catalog to so-called "standard" XMP files, but it's a one-way trip only. The keywords are written in different XML subsections. Renaming the files doesn't help, even if you don't have name collisions (I do), because the format of the metadata inside those XMP files differs. ![]() For example, Corel Aftershot (which is available on Linux) names the XMP files *.jpg.xmp. That is really their purpose.Unfortunately, depending on the software you use, XMP files fail at this task. XMP files are what is needed to keep metadata across software.
