# Exporting Sorting Results

<figure><img src="/files/B2iJksV1zxmDCOTVumJx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The app provides flexible options for customizing the export of sorting results. You can choose from preset export templates or configure the settings manually. The screenshots demonstrate the most popular export options.

## Screenshot 1: Copying Photos with a Green Flag

When selecting these parameters, the app will prompt you to specify a destination folder to copy photos marked with a green flag. During the export process, the app will copy RAW and/or JPEG files (depending on the formats imported into the catalog), as well as XMP files containing the flag, rating, and color tag information.

**Important:** The app does not store original RAW files. Therefore, you will be asked to specify the location of the folder containing the original photos to complete the export process successfully.

## Screenshot 2: Exporting XMP Files Only

If you select only XMP in the export format settings, you can immediately specify the destination folder. It is recommended to select the “RAW Folder” option as the destination. In this case, the app will prompt you to specify the folder with the original photos, and XMP files will only be copied for photos present in the specified folder.

If photos were imported from multiple external drives, you will need to repeat the export process for each drive separately.

***

## Screenshot 3: Deleting Rejected Photos with a Red Flag

This option allows you to delete photos marked with a red flag directly from an external drive. The app will prompt you to connect the external drive and select the folder containing the original photos to delete the corresponding files.
