I'm in the process of switching from Picasa to Lightroom.
My camera has been set to take both RAW and JPEG. In one folder I have both the RAW and JPEG files. When I import them into LR, I unchecked the option for "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". Therefore LR shows the photos with the DNG and JPEG visually combined (i.e. it doesn't show the JPEG separately).
I have photos in which the JPEG has metadata such as caption or title. In the LR library window metadata panel, I do not see the metadata that I know is in the JPEG. In the panel, I can see that "Sidecar Files" is set to jpg. I would like to get the metadata from the JPEG merged(?) copied(?) to the associated DNG.
The caption information is stored in both of the following fields in the jpg
Xmp: Description
Iptc:Caption-Abstract
If this can't be done directly in LR, I could use exiftool to copy the data from a JPEG field into the DNG but I don't know which field in the DNG I should copy it into.
Thanks!
