Is there a way to add Tags to Panasonic RAW (RW2) files?
My ageing copy of Lightroom 5.7 does not recognise the new RAW files, obviously because its old and no longer supported by Adobe. I could convert the RAW filed to DNG and then import into Lightroom to add Tags. However I'd rather not do that.
Since I bought a copy of DxO Photolabs, I can work direct with the RAW files without first having to convert to DNG files and to my perceived little brain, the images are far better when worked on direct from the RAW files. Sadly DxO will only add Tags in a Sidecar structure. Photolabs will add the Tags to any exported images, such as JPEG, TIFF or DNG but not the original image created by my camera.
I'd rather add the Tags to the original image files rather than make Sidecar files.
Anybody know if there is any image degradation, that I am not aware of, if I add Tags to my RAW files and then get an app like DxO to convert to a DNG file?
