RAW (Raw Image Data) is the most popular file format for uncompressed and unprocessed images used by digital cameras. RAW file stores the image captured with camera’s image sensor directly, without any compression used.
XMP file format is used by some Adobe software products for storing metadata. XMP contains edits made to ‘Camera Raw’ (CR2 or NEF) file with Photoshop Camera Raw program.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the RAW file after converting to XMP may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from RAW to XMP to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting RAW to XMP does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in RAW format, properly converted to a XMP file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file RAW the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of RAW file to other than XMP. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your RAW file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to XMP on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the RAW file in its original format (without conversion to XMP file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
