Saving Image Seetings

[filmic]

Hello,

I am testing filmpack 7 standalone (windows 11).
It is correct, that image settings are not saved after exit application?

If I reopen the application, all changes are lost. I only can save the file (export) or save presets.

In the program settings I have checked the option “keep settings on changing image”.

Hi and welcome here.

1. First, save your settings as a custom preset while the image is still open.
   

   

2. Then save your picture.
   

   

3. Open a new image and apply your custom preset…

Thanks, Wolfgang!

but if I have 50 or 100 images and I have applied a preset to all these images, some images needs an exposure correction or a crop. If I would stop my work after 20 images everything would be lost. I’m missing a kind of sidecar file where the settings are stored.

With FilmPack 7, you can open (develop) raw files from supported cameras and export (save) them as TIFF or JPEG. In this case, your source file is still preserved.

When you work on TIFF or JPEG files your output is destructive (no sidecar file e.g. like in PhotoLab). For that scenario I’d work on copies

OR

when in batch processing mode

add a Suffix,

if you don’t want to save your finished files in another folder.

all other raw converters are using presets AND are able to save sidecar files for single corrections which could be different on each image.

I you have 5 images and you are saving a preset with basic settings they are valid for each image. Than you set…

…exposure +0.3 at image 1
…exposure +0.7 at image 2
…exposure +1.0 at image 3
…exposure some more contrast at image 4

I dont’t want to create 4 presets.
I create a preset with exposure zero for all images, modify each image seperatly. But If I want wo export/ save the jpegs later, the application don’t remember my modifications.

And if I reload the same images later, to modifiy some other parameter, I must start from beginning, the basic preset.

The application should use sidecar files to save each image settings. Independend from presets.

… well, then try PhotoLab + FilmPack.

FP7 can decode RAW files, but is not primarily a (sophisticated) RAW converter.
