I have attempted researching this problem myself and quickly found that others have the same issue. I ma using DigiKam version 6.1.0 on Windows 10 Home v. I know that using the extension in the file name for the XMP is not common so I tried editing it out (example: birdinflight.XMP) with no change of behavior. The XMP file that digiKam creates is stored in the same directory as the RAW file with the following format: original_file_name.original_extension.xmp (example ). This is only a problem for RAW files, with JPEG no XMP is needed because digiKam inserts the data into the JPEG file. That leads me to believe that it is some issue with the XMP files that digiKam creates. At first I thought PL was at fault so I also tested opening the files in LR Classic and On1 Photo same thing, no ratings or tags. However the XMP sidecar files created by digiKam are ignored by DXO PL the ratings and keywords do not display in PL at all. I love almost everything about it and would love to use it as my DAM in the following workflow.

DigiKam ratings and tags stored in XMP for RAW files are not visible in other software.īased on some comments in another thread I tried out digiKam as my DAM.

Does dxo photolab reading in xmp
