So … the next step: 1) My DNGs made by Lightroom have the original RAWs included and I can them extract very quickly with Adobes DNG Converter.
2) With exiftool I am able to extract the XMPs from the DNGs. Put them in the same directory as the RAWs with the same filename without original extension only ".xmp". 3) Importing the RAW in DT works. DT can read the XMP I extracted and edits the imported file reasonably good. Maybe this helps somebody. -) So I found out that DT can not handle DNGs created by Lightroom on my Mac even if I extracted the XMP. As long as it is a DNG DT doesn't read the XMP. It cannot show the preview in the import dialog, it can read tags and stars directly out of the DNG but cannot read and apply any edit Lightroom did before. >[Subhash Fotografie schrieb am 12.2.2020 um 20:51 Uhr:] >>Maybe my extraction is the culprit, so I want to ask for another person >>to try the process of extracting a .xmp file from a .dng file Lightroom >>has edited, put them in the same directory and import the .dng file in >>DT to see if the Lightroom edits were recognized.
