Export description of file for archiving purposes


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

i noticed that .afphoto files are REALLY BIG in size, occupying many more MBs than the original raw file.

it would be nice if there was an option to export a description of the file, eg to an xml file, just for archiving purposes.

for example:

<original file>DSC_00001</original_file>

<layers>

          <brightness-contrast> ..... parameters of brightness/contrast layer </brightness-contrast>

          <fill> ...parameters of fill layer </fill>

          ................

</layers>

maybe there could be some options:

- option to save the image data as well

- option to save develop parameters as well

 

thanks,

i am reporting some examples of .afphoto file sizes:

- original .nef file: 18.6MB

 developed, then altered by nik collection (silver fx pro2) , and saved

.afphoto size: 305MB

 

- .nef file: 18.9 MB

  developed, nik_collection plug in (silver fx), added high pass live filter, added brighness contrast

.afphoto: 411 MB

 

- .nef file: 18.8 MB

  developed, added unsharp live filter, added 3 fill layers, added brightness contrast layer

 .afphoto: 153 MB
