PM to EM2 ratings not appearing for NEF files
« on: February 17, 2010, 11:41:04 AM »
Hello,
I have been using Photo Mechanic for nearly 6 months now and I am very happy with it. I decided to use EM2 as cataloguing software as it was important to organize the large photo library I have. Until recently I had no problems in having changes made in PM appear in EM2, including the ratings on the photographs.
I recently imported a large number of photographs from PM to EM2. Mostly Nikon NEF, some Canon CR2 and some jpgs. The process was VERY slow and I have just realized that a lot of the information such as star ratings initially defined in PM do not show up in EM2.

I am using Mac OS.X 10.6.2, PhotoMechanic 4.6.3 and EM2.0.

I don't know if this new situation is related do some of the upgrades in operating systems or software.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
Noemi

Did anything change in your IPTC/XMP settings in Photo Mechanic recently?  Ratings and color labels are written to the XMP data.

Hello,
I do not recall making any modifications to the IPTC/XMP settings.
Attached is a screen shot of my current settings if you can see anything that might be causing the problem.
Thank you.
