So if you want xmp files, the only way is probably to script it.

Unfortunately, xmp creation is not possible when using the 'exiftool -if' command as above. Normally, exiftool has no problem creating xmp files. Lightroom will automatically recognize these during import and import the values (or at least some of the values) from the xmp file. I prefer to create an xmp sidecar file instead. If you don't like to mess with raw files, I understand you. Same notes as above apply to this command. To let exiftool insert a rating of 5 in all B&W raw files in a directory, you can run this command:Д®xiftool -rating=5 -if '$colormode eq 'B&W' ' *.ARW But if you get them wrong, exiftool will complain that it can't find the file named eq and the file named B&W. It is possible that you will have to switch the ' and ' quotation marks if you use Mac. You have to replace ARW with the correct raw extension for the client's camera. If your client's B&W files have the same tags, you can let exiftool find all the B&W files with this command which will list the filename of all B&W photos in the current directory:Д®xiftool -filename -if '$colormode eq 'B&W' ' *.ARW and this is the result for a color file: With photos from my Sony a77, this is the result for a B&W file: Try this command on a color raw file and a B&W raw file: So doing it manually is A LOT of clicking and scrolling.ДЄs already suggested, I would let exiftool write a keyword or a rating before import.ДЇirst, you have to find a usable tag which identifies B&W raw files. I wouldn't really care too much but each one of these jobs is 5000+ images and about 800+ images are black and white. Once converted in lightroom I can filter by color treatment and select monochrome.

So now our current workflow with this clients is to:ДЄ: Go through the job and manually select the black and whites and import only them with a B+W presetД«: Look at the images in Photo Mechanic and manually select the images and give them a star rating which then we can see in lightroom and change them over to black and white.ДЎ: Does anyone know how to turn this option off? I'm pretty sure you can't though.Дў: Can anyone give me another workaround to filtering the images so I can see only the black whites? i.e. So for us there is no way of knowing in lightroom which images were shot black and white. Now when we import them into Lightroom, it automatically change them to color. She wants us to keep these images black and white.

For singular apps from a developer it's safe.ДЄlso running Etrecheck will list the extensions being used and those that are not running.So we have a client that likes to shoot B+W in camera at certain points in the day (I know!). Some for those files may support other apps from the same developer and deleting them can mess them up. WARNING: If you use AppCleaner on an app that you have other apps from the same developer, like Adobe, you must be extremely careful checking all checkboxes and deleting. I've not had to cull out old extensions as I've been using AppCleanerВ to remove unwanted apps for some time now. You'd do the following search(es):ДЇAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. The easiest way to find them is to use the shareware app Find Any File to search for any files with the kext extension. The kernel extensions are located in several locations: 1 - System/Library/Extensions 2 - Library/Staged Extensions/Library/Extensions 3 - Library/Extensions
