Transfering LR Pick Flags from one folder to another


Recommended Posts

I shot a session as RAW+JPEG and separately imported each set of files from

different folders into Lightroom instead of importing directly from the card).

I then made a few adjustments (exposure, color, and flags) to the files in the

jpeg folder.

 

Is there a simple way to transfer settings from the 250 jpeg files to the 250

raw files? The files have the same name except for the suffix.

 

For this particular task, it would be quite easy to re-do by hand. But this got

me wondering about whether there is any sort of 'parallel sync' work-around -

perhaps by exporting XMP files from the jpeg folder then importing them into the

raw folder.

 

I'm still pretty new to LR so the way I asked the question above may need

clarification.

 

Thanks.

One thing you could try would be to move the RAW files into the JPG folder and then uncheck "Treat JPG files next to RAW files as separate photos" in the preferences.

 

I'm not 100% on how flags would be handled at that point, but if no other solution comes to light, then it certainly would be worth a shot.
