Photo supreme vs imatch4/9/2023 ![]() IMatch is so well documented in comparison. The other thing I don’t like about Photo Supreme is the incredibly poor documentation. Photo Supreme is definitely crashing more for me, especially when batch detecting faces, something that doesn’t happen in Lightroom using a plugin with the same API (it works fine when I do it one image at a time). I think both Mario (IMatch) and Hert (Photo Supreme) are very approachable and helpful. The developer of Photo Supreme is extremely helpful and quick in replying. Allowing the DAM to be the only application to write metadata might be the best solution ultimately. TLDR metadata are terribly complicated and you quickly end-up with synchronization problems or big mess ups where you overwrite proper metadata, or with “shadow” data (like IPTC ratings) that doesn’t show in some programs but it still there, and then suddenly pops up in another application and then messes with the entire system. My idea is to manage almost everything in the DAM but I would like to be able to update ratings and color labels in C1/PhotoLab (not possible yet). I am going to run some tests with DXO which should fair better since it doesn’t do any metadata writing as far as I know so it won’t interfere with the DAM. There are some settings in both Photo Supreme and IMatch to dictate how and where stuff is written but I have the idea that Capture One has a weird way of handling metadata as well. DNG files (which I believe use embedded XMP) while. ![]() When I for example work with Capture One, metadata shows up that doesn’t show in DAM software and when I update certain things they don’t sync properly for the. There are differences between where and how metadata is stored. DNG (My earlier RAW files which I converted and no terribly regret). My main headaches come from my RAW library which is 50-50. I am currently doing a head-to-head test between IMatch and Photo Supreme and so far it is complicated. In fact, I understand the Mac version is already doing this to a limited extent. PhotoLab will certainly use XMP (in raw sidecar files and in image files such as jpg) for keywords. As Joanna points out, RAW files already contain all sorts of metadata, both in the EXIF part, but also in various proprietary metadata tags. xmp, etc.), you’ll find that a good DAM program can handle that transparently (I use IMatch which depends on open source standards, but there are others). If your concern is dealing with managing sidecar files (which include. I don’t understand why you are waiting to deal with metadata when adequate open standards (incl. You should be aware that HEIC is not open source its use becomes subject to the licensing of patents on the coding format. I have several thousands of photos and I have never started to write metadata because until today I have not found a lasting solution. If the HEIC format allows to answer the two previous problems I could finally start to enter the metadata via the DPL DAM.
