losing changed star ratings in ACR DNG files

[cabrackett]

I thought I saw a answer to this somewhere but cannot find it.

When I am editing CR2 files in ACR, preparing for DNG conversion, and upon re-evaluation I change some star ratings, those ratings appear to stay with the .CR2 files instead of being embedded in the DNGs. My usual workflow involves saving from ACR to a new folder in order to leave the CR2 files behind. The changed star ratings remain on those .CR2 files rather than going with the converted dng files and I would like to fix that. I am using the save to new location option.

Any suggestions?

Chuck,
I have not seen this, but I have heard of other metadata problems when using the "save" command in ACR.
I make all my DNGs with the DNG converter (mostly because of the convenience of being able to run it on multiple folders in one batch), and all the metadata comes along just fine.

I sort of figured out that that is what you are doing. I have always wondered why use the DNG Converter when you are already in ACR and ready to convert..seems to add an extra step. But this may change the way I do things.
Thanks,
