Transfer ratings from jpg - dng

[Muzza]

Are their any programs or scripts that will transfer ratings (stars) from jpgs to dng.

All the best Muzza!!!

There is a script for iView called MetaSync that may do this for you.

You don't mention what DAM software you are using. IDImager supports version stacks to work with derivative images. Then you can always cascade the meta information from any image to all images in the stack. There are also scripts available to transfer ratings/labels only to derivative images.

I just wanted to point out a few things.  First I think MetaSync only works on the Mac platform and Idimager works awesome for things like this on the Windows platform.  It is features like this that made me choose IDI in the first place.  I hope Hert doesn't mind me metioning it, but in the next release of Idimager you will able to choose if ratings and/or color labels are automatically transfered to images in a version stack.  For instance I mainly shoot sports and almost always shoot Raw/Jpg.  I can then go do my ratings and they will automatically go to the Raw and JPG.  It is also an option so if you don't want it to work in this manner it does not have to.  I think it is a huge feature that is speeding up my workflow that will be in Hert's next release.
