Crop Conversions COS to XMP
I'd like to store a big archive of raw files. It'll be 100,000+ images, and it would be ideal if retouchers and others with no C1 experience (or C1 installation, for that matter) were able to access them. The retouchers (and others) variously prefer Bridge or Lightroom, so I'm planning on converting all of our raw files to DNG instead of EIP.
I've been (using a mac) cropping in C1, which seems to save the crops in a COS file (in settings82) in tags like this:
<E K="Crop" V="2910.324219;1681.580078;2912.754395;4369.131836"/>
<E K="CropOutsideImage" V="0"/>
However, the crop information in the open-source XMP crop format looks like this:
crs:CropTop="0.111713"
crs:CropLeft="0.053103"
crs:CropBottom="0.966664"
crs:CropRight="0.879862"
crs:CropAngle="2.25808"
crs:CropConstrainToWarp="0"
crs:HasCrop="True"
(these are two different crops for two different images - I'm just posting them so that you can see the tags and sample crops)
If I was to unpack all of our EIP files and then import the resulting CR2 files into Lightroom, is there a way to transcribe those crops between the COS and XMP files? Seems like something a Lightroom plugin could do, but I can't find one.
And yes, we've tried using both Media Pro and a Catalog, with disappointing results.
Thanks in advance!

From the looks of the XMP format, it looks like relative percentages, whereas CO uses absolute coordinates.
You will have to write a data-parser along with with read and write functionality for this, if you want it to work.0
