#DXO PHOTOLAB 2 NOT IMPORTING INTO LIGHTROOM WINDOWS#
If I just select one image in PMPlus only the Edit alternatives for one image occurs in two version though (maybee one is specified under preferences and the other works through Windows fileattributes I dont know. Your fix i build 5998 seem to work fine and solve the problem where only one image earlier could be transfered to Photolab 4 at the time using the "Edit"-function. I'm sure quite a few users might forget to do that from time to time. The only thing I don't think is to my liking is that we have to remember to run a "Scan to Catalog" manually. When I export and reexport JPEG-files I can't see Photolab 4 corrupts the metadata in any way so far.

I NEVER update any keywords in Photolab 4 at all.Īll the metadata jobs will be handled more effectively and extensively in PM Plus that supports the entire IPTC-schema instead of just a couple of elements open in Photolab 4.

If I do like this, the few IPTC-fields Photolab's rudimentary IPTC-implementation displays correctly in Photolab 4, even without an import. When I do like this I can't see any problems at all with the integration between Photolab 4 and PM Plus 6. Then I apply all the metadata I want to apply in PM Plus and I mean all!Īfter that I export all the JPEGS from all the RAW I'm working with in Photolab.įinally I run a Scan to Catalog of the main folder I have been working with and the subfolders too. Personally i develop the RAW-images first in Photolab. It is important though that you establish a work flow that works. With that said, the DxO-representative have to get updated on the fact that PM or PM Plus does not affect the very images and the image quality at all from my experience. Would it be possible to get an automatic update in Photomechanic too? In PMPlus you have a "folder watch"-function in the ingest-system but that's it. (through the file systems logs)Īfter that every change of a file will result in an automatic update of the index. The difference though is that FotoWare then activates a folder watch on every folder beneth the topfolder. I guess like many other enterprise DAM FotoWare - like PhotoMechanic - index everything below the topfolder you point at where all the images lays you will incorporate in your the catalog you just are about to create. Once I worked with the Norwegian enterprise DAM-system FotoWare (not misspelled just norwegian spelling :-).

Since i know how the system works now I can handle this in my workflow but it would be much better to at least give us an option to handle this automatically. Kirk, I know there is a feature request posted about this and I have lifted it myself in a conversation with one of your staff. In that case it will not reflect the changes you have made in for example Photolab, before you make a "Scan to Catalog". Photolab kan see the metadata added by PMP without even an import and if I export from PL to a DNG or JPEG everything works as expected what I have seenĪ thing that can happen is that an image you know you have updated in Photolab is not updated automatically in PMPlus. Quote from: Stenis on June 12, 2021, 06:43:18 AM I use PhotoMechanic Plus with Photolab 4 and I see no problems that I can't handle with the integration. If you really get this integration to work and you can synk your efforts with DXO there will be more people who won't hesitate to leave Adobe and Lightroom for good. You have all the reasons to solve this since Photolab and PhotoMechanic is an extremely powerful combo. Maybee it's DXO and PL that has these limitations but since there are two of your softwares interacting you might have to talk. I would be very glad if your people at Camera Bits could sort this out together with DXO. If I have both PMP and PL open and select say five images in PMP and chose to edit them all in PL with the Edit-link in PMP Photolab it only opens one of them BUT if i expose both windows side by side and drag and drop them from PMP to PM it works with all five images. BUT, there is an issue I have tried to get you to solve: Photolab kan see the metadata added by PMP without even an import and if I export from PL to a DNG or JPEG everything works as expected what I have seen I use PhotoMechanic Plus with Photolab 4 and I see no problems that I can't handle with the integration.
