No XMP but some Json

My little app is now able to spit out how images get processed into a Json parameter file.
I use it to replay edits and export again. And also to replay the first steps of an edit and try new variations…

Here is a sample, very human readable:
IMG_0612_EDIT.json.txt (1.6 KB)

Should I post those files when I post on a “Play Raw” thread ? Would that be useful ?

Just let me know… Thanks

How can the average person use those json files? The more as there is no indication in your example file (or your post, for that matter) about the program (and version!) which created those parameters.

Not sure if I understand. Are you reordering the history such that it matches the modules in application order?

Then the json file would be a sidecar for his program. Just like .pp3 or .xmp files, i.o.w.

So if his program can read the generated sidecars, posting them besides the raw files would be useful if anyone else uses the same program.

I think it would still be a good idea to include program name and version in the generated json file. (if only for future reference, when there may be more versions)
