![]() ![]() For culling of images on ingest, just grab FastRawViewer which uses standard XMP sidecars to store rating data. The Finder can do most image management especially with Raw Right Away Quicklook plugin, $7 in the App store. The most reliable partner (and affordable) for one’s images in Iridient Developer, who does not try to to manage your images. Sidecars should always be stored with the original images, in the worst case in a subfolder. Sooner or later the program won’t be supported or the files will be moved and one’s edits will be lost. Working with any RAW converter which doesn’t store sidecars is a kind of digital deathwish. The sorting and filtering of files is controlled via the Sort & Filter panel, which, by default, is located in the right-hand column of panels.This is a fascinating article which makes it very clear just what a powerful tool Aperture 2.x was (3.x was a step backwards in terms of interface), doing almost all of this in real time and allowing easy export of sidecars. The following icons are placed at the title bar of this panel (left to right) ![]() The panel displays filtration parameters, which extend the filtration over ratings/labels that we had in previous versions. Read-only/Locked/Protected first – see the section Working with Read-Only/Locked Files below.By filename, alphanumerically (meaning that 11 will precede 2).By filename, natural (meaning that numeric components will be sorted by value).The following sorting methods are supported: The sorting of files can be set in the menu that appears when pressing the sorting icon (second from the left in the panel header). In cases when two files have the same value for the category by which they are being sorted, the natural filename is used as an additional “sorting key” (when sorting by filename, the file extension is the second key). To sort by metadata, which needs to be read from the file (EXIF, XMP), the sorting occurs dynamically and is animated, synchronously with the reading of the current folder. File filtrationįiltration is controlled by the rest of the new Sort & Filter panel. The panel displays the types of parameters (XMP Rating, XMP Label, EXIF Timestamp) and value options. You can check the checkbox to the left of the sorting and filtering parameter, and only files that pass the filtering conditions will be displayed. In the Exif Timestamp group, you can select the necessary ranges of dates. At the moment of launching the program, when applying a date range that is already defined in the settings.At the moment of pressing the “OK” button, when editing the range.The boundaries of the range of dates for Last NN days is set: The first value for the range is always “from ” the second is always “to.”Īside from setting 'fixed' date ranges, using calendar days, date ranges can also be set in the form "last NN days." In this case, the boundaries for the date range are calculated as “from NN days ago to today.” Last “1 days” is a synonym for “today.” You can edit those ranges if necessary, changing the standard Today/Yesterday/This Week/… tailoring them to your current needs. This way the “Last NN days” range will not change the actual range of absolute calendar dates even if during the course of work the current date has changed. If there are any selected files in the folder (see the next section), you can check the checkbox to the left of the word Selected in the Files/Metadata group, and only the selected files will be displayed. In this case, if you unselect some file, it will be excluded from the display, which means that in order to have it displayed again, you need to uncheck Selected and select the file again, after which you can check Selected once more. The filtration inside one group is of OR-type. That is, if, for example, you select XMP Label Yellow and XMP Label Green, files that have either of those two labels will be displayed. If, however, you checked XMP Rating: 3, XMP Label: Green, and EXIF Timestamp: This week, only the files which conform to all three conditions simultaneously will be displayed. The numbers in the respective lines indicate how many files there are with a given parameter value. ![]()
