In Camera Settings Available in RAW Editor
When creating an image, I try to get as much right in camera as possible. This can mean a particular crop (e.g. square format) and or choice of colour or monochrome. I realise that these settings are baked into a jpeg if I create one, but I would find it helpful when importing a RAW file for there to be some method of indicating that a crop or monochrome treatment had been applied. I use a Lumix camera and have no idea if such a feature would need to be supported by ON1, the files themselves or both. Am I alone in this or would others find this helpful?

Not sure what you want to achieve with this. The RAW never has anything applied to it, that's why the jpg exists.
If you just want to know if a RAW has a jpg version as well, then just keep the RAW and jpg together in Browse. Optionally you could add a keyword to identify them.

The problem with your idea is that as far as I know, the camera does not store the camera settings for the jpeg you told it to produce so there isn't any way for Photo RAW to give you a starting point for duplicating that look.

Thank you for the responses to my query. I only save jpeg files as a failsafe. As soon as I know that I have the RAW files safely on my hard drive I ditch the jpeg files. I never import them into ON1. So after a shoot I may have a hundred or more RAW files and I can not always remember if I had intended a particular image to be monochrome or say in a 16:9 format so I was really looking for an easy way retain that information with the RAW file so that I can re-apply those parameters during the editing process. It sounds like that may not be feasible?

Your only option would be to add Metadata to the RAW before deleting the jps. Or just keep the jpgs in a separate folder that you can refer to when needed.

I just took a look at the EXIF data from my Canon R5 and there is nothing in it about settings for producing a jpeg file. The only jpeg data it contains relates to the jpeg preview embedded in the RAW data.
