Try this, open a RAW file in DPP or LR, or whatever program that will process RAW files. You can not create a RAW file from those edits. For example LR, maintains this data, and only when you export, those edits are used to produce a common format image, like jpg, tiff, psd, png, ect. However it does not, alter the original RAW file produced by the camera. Yes programs like Canon DPP, and LR, store edits into files, that are XMP, sometimes referred to as side-car files, as to what adjustments have been done. Actually AP provides us a look at the RAW data, where other apps do not. However I'm not familiar with any photo editing software, to include LR, and Canon's DPP, that will allow you to actually edit the information, RAW DATA, that is used to produce the image. Ok, so what part of the metadata have you been able to alter? The IPTC/XMP or EXIF? Those are editable fields,except EXIF is really not. I have firmly confirmed this with zero doubt.

For example, Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) will embed metadata relating to edits into the raw *.CR3 files. Feels a bit like the car manufacturers game of chasing stupid horsepower or acceleration figures. I really wish someone, anyone (I no longer care if Serif/Affinity can/will do this or not, but great if they can/will), would come up with a proper image management alternative to Aperture that goes beyond just the sounds like you may be using different software/platform that I have used because what you're saying about a RAW file never getting altered with a photo app is unfortunately not true everywhere. Whilst Capture One has taken over the batch image processing duties, its image management abilities are shockingly bad in comparison to Aperture.Įvery time an image editing/management app has been released or got updated, the feeling of disappointment continues as all the developers seem to concentrate on nowadays are new features that might create headlines or outdo their competitors.

There just isn't anything available that can do what it can do with ease and speed… and then there's the Light Table feature, which is still unique (within the world of photo editing/management apps) to Aperture.ĭespite Aperture being killed off by Apple years ago, I still keep it running happily on a dedicated older Mac to maintain a massive library of edited/completed images. In many ways some of its more desirable features have still not been duplicated.Īperture, for image management, is still (IMHO) king. Aperture was light years ahead of the competition when Apple decided to kill it / embed some of its functionality in photos.
