P: Save sidecar file directly after edit is mage in Camera RAW
Hi,
After numerous unresponsive Camera Raw edits, restarts are required to start working again. I wanted to ask if it is possible to save add the option to save an edit to a sidecar .xmp file directly after that change or edit is made in camera raw. When I edit a file in lightroom, the edit is saved in the lightroom database and saved in a sidecar XMP file. In Camera Raw, a sidecar XMP file is made when the raw file is opened in photoshop. But when camera raw becomes unresponsive, all the edits that are made are gone, and you have to start over again.
A little background:
About ten times per week, I make images of real estate. A selection of 100 to 200 CR2 raw files is opened in Adobe Photoshop and Camera Raw as a plugin. I do three passes of all the images, and then I open them all in Photoshop at once. For 15 years, this went well until I changed my Mac from Intel to apple silicon. Since I Have random unresponsive camera raw and photoshop applications. When they become unresponsive, I lose my work. Sometimes multiple hours that I have to redo. All because there are no sidecar files with the edits made until then.
Lightroom takes too much time, and Bridge does not fit in my workflow.
So please add the option to create sidecar files upon opening in camera raw and save every edit inside the sidecar file. This could be a performance issue, but with the speedy SSD files of the M1 mac platform, that should not be an issue at all.
Thank you for listening.
