My collection of PEFs is rapidly growing, and I need to get a process together to archive these properly. My system for scanned negs is to have each roll on a subfolder (labelled with the date of processing), and then I burn them onto a single session CD or DVD as 16bit PSDs. I'd like to do something similar with the digital files.
Naturally, the untouched PEFs will be archived. Now, Photoshop seems to remember custom settings I've appled to each individual PEF while they are still on my hard-disk. I gather these are stored in the cache, which can be exported for each subfolder from the file browser. That's cool, but in the future, if I need to reopen the PEF with the original settings I applied to them, how to I reload it?
I know I can export individual .xmp files that will store the settings, but these aren't necessarily tied to the PEF themselves; they can be applied to any other file.
I suppose I could just have the .xmp given the same name as the PEF, and then reload it manually. But is there a more automated way to do this?
Does anyone include a JPG version of the file with their archives?
