I bought the software and have been using it but I am wondering why I get a picture number with ON1 behind it when you open it it’s a big Gear and I also am still getting xmp behind a picture number
Thanks Dale

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like a watermark that is placed on evaluation software. On1 would be the place to get a good answer, but probably not on Sunday. Maybe I'm not interpreting your question correctly.

I'm not sure what your question is. I use ON1 and have never seen that. Is it possible to post an image? In what format are you saving your images and to where?

Are you talking about file extensions? If you export as a TIFF, DNG or JPG you'll get a different file extension and the XMP file (when relevant) will be embedded in it and not be an external file. The XMP file is a record of any adjustments you've made to the image and it will NOT automatically follow the image file if you move it.

Are you talking about the file names? The software appends ON1 to output file names by default (although you can change that), presumably so you will know which software you used to create that output file. ON1 is a non destructive raw processor. When you are editing your original files, any edits are stored in side car files using a .xmp extension with the same name as your original files. Do not delete them. To have those edits permanently applied to an image you must export your edited files. ON1 permanently bakes in those edits from the .xmp files into your output file during export. Based on your question I assume you are a fairly new user to ON1. I strongly suggest you look at as many online training videos as you can.

While I don't know the technical stuff like mwsilvers does, I second his advice about watching the many training videos available to you by both ON1 and a photographer, Anthony Morganti on YouTube. I find Mr. Morganti goes slower and is more deliberate. Have fun!

Are you the file isn’t just a ON1 sidecar file?

I have been using On1 for a while now and have never seen what you describe. But I would Contact On1 HELP (zendesk). They usually reply within 24 hours and the technical people are knowledgeable and helpful. It would probably also help if you take a screen shot or something to show them exactly what you're talking about.

Using proper grammar and punctuation will lead to a clearer understanding of your question.

On1 saves its sidecars with *.on1 and *xmp extensions. The photo edits you have made are stored in the *.on1 file, and the image's metadata is stored in the *.xmp file.

For example, if you start with a raw file named XYZ.raw, edit it, and then export it as a jpeg, you will end up with XYZ.jpg, XYZ.on1, XYZ.xmp and the original XYZ.raw.

To add a bit more confusion:

If your editing process involves using 2 images, for example you start with XYZ.raw and then add another layer using an image named ABC.raw, you will also generate a sidecar file which will be named either XYZ.onphoto or ABC.onphoto.

I got bit by the ipad spellchecker. I was trying to say, "Aren't the files you are seeing just ON1 sidecar files?"

in addition the .jpg if you save it as a jpg, sometimes you get a .on1photo file. Are you doing any in HDR?
