One of the Adobe Apps Converted My Jpeg Photos into XMP. How Do I All Convert it back to Jpeg Only?

Question

Hello Adobe friends. It's been many years since I've used Adobe Suite but a lot of my jpeg photos are in .xmp, how do I convert it all back to jpeg, easily? Which Adobe app actually converted them to .xmp?

Thank you. God bless you.

You can use the Batch Rename function in Bridge to remove .xmp from your filenames. Beware that this is a powerful tool and you have to be careful to check the settings and the preview to be sure you will get the desired result or, more importantly, you will not make matters worse.

Select and image then right click.

Select Batch Rename from the menu.

In the New Filename section select String Substitution.

Find .jpg.xmp

Replace With .jpg

Check the preview at the bottom to confirm that the new filename is correct.

When you are ready to process several files, click the Preview button to see a list of how all the files will be changed. This is a critical step to make sure every file will be correct and no anomalies slip through

Note that the Destination Folder option allows you rename the current files where they are or make copies to a new folder, preserving the originals as a backup.

You should select "Preserve current filename in XMP metadata" as another precaution against unintended consequences.

Good news, nothing has been changed, but maybe something has been lost? Or moved?

The xmp file is what is called a sidecar file that contains all of the adjustments you made to a raw file. So, if you have a file called "mygreatimage.CR2." There should be a file called "mygreatimage.xmp." Now, notice I did not point out a jpg file because a jpg file is a container file (like a folder). If the xmp file and the raw file get separated, all of your adjustments will not be seen unless you put the two of them back in the same folder.

Anyhow, what you need to do is to search in your computer for "mygreatimage." and file all of the iterations of that file (cr2, jpg, xmp, etc.).

Suffice it to say, nothing was changed into the xmp file. Where you will find them is unknown to anyone who cannot see your computer, so that's up to you. Also, the xmp files are very important, so do not delete them, unless you do not want to save your adjustments, or you're deleting both the raw file AND the xmp because you do not want that image.

BTW, I convert my raw files into DNG because they are also container files, and that way, I never see my xmp files.
