Save Raw edits to cr2 file, not xmp

[Kathleen Bowie]

How do I set up ACR to save my raw edits directly to the CR2 file and not to the XMP?  I am beginning to outsource some of my retouch work to another company and they do not accept XMP files...but I want the work I did in ACR to stay put!  Thank you!

You'll need to convert to DNG and edit the files as DNG files. You cannot alter a cr2 file directly.

Have you read this about XMP data Kathleen?  If you have, disregard it, if not...take a look.  It's a good article by Damien.

I'm wondering why you're sending them raw files? If they have xmp data it means you've already edited them.

Good point Damien.  It looks as if they only accept JPG, TIFF & DNG files.  Which would be the best to send them?  I will do my raw edits myself first.

Then send Level 12 jpegs.  It would be madness to do any different.

Ok.  Will do.  Thank you very much Damien and everyone!
