    Importing previously edited photos

    When I import my images to LR, I convert them to DNG. I thought the metadata settings were saved to that DNG file. Recently I had a corrupted LR catalog, so I just started a new catalog and re-imported all my DNGs. However there were no editing details attached to any of these images and I had...

    Processing iPhone 14 Pro RAW Files

    I'm a classic Lightroom user and use my older iPhone shooting with the Lightroom App and using Cloud Sync to upload the images I shoot. Then download and process them locally on my computer. I'm considering a new iPhone 14 Pro and was wondering if people are using the native Apple RAW (if...

    iPhone native camera app or LRm camera app?

    Using the native app I have access to pano, LiveMode, burst etc thatI don't get using LRm (unless I'm missing something). iOS processes the photo (usually doing a pretty job) and I end up with an HEIC file which I add to my LRm library and sync. OR shooting with the LRm cam app, I seem to have...

    Lightroom for iOS October 2022 enhancement

    Adobe appear to have built in a useful little trip wire to help slow you down in the latest downgrade. Before, when accessing the UW camera on iPad Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, it didn’t matter that you had set the file format as DNG, as the UW lens, when selected, would also change the file...

    Needing to preserve edits of DNG files for Laser Scans and have a deadline by next week, any help would be useful, thanks!

    This problem is quite complicated and probably going to require some deep thinking, but nevertheless, here we go! Essentially, I have a collection of .dng files from 4 firefly cameras that are used in combination to create a stitched 360 image. These 360 images (also known as panos) will be...

    iPhone 13 RAW images extremely dark when merged to {Pano

    I'm trying to update my workflow to accommodate iPhone 13 Pro Max raw images, moving them 'automagically' from iPhone to LRClassic. That all seems to work and the initial images look fine. The first thing I did was a photo merge to pano and the normal looking dng images merged fine, but the...

    Can LRC's DNG files use internal compression?

    I just switched to a Canon R5, which produces CR3 raw files. I've read a lot about the difference between its RAW (uncompressed) and CRAW (compressed) formats, and decided to use CRAW; the raw files are about half the size. (I'm not here to debate that choice today.) My LR workflow always...

    DNG Confusion from an Experienced User

    I have used LR almost daily for 12 years and am accustomed to working with Fuji, Canon and Nikon raw files which all have sidecars that I write all edits and metadata to (besides just to the catalog). I have shot the Leica Q2 a lot lately and just shot it every day for 7 weeks in Rome and...

    DNG & JPG combined

    Hi, I use a Pixel 6 pro. Other than mobile photos taken with my previous phones (Galaxy Note 20, Huawei P30) shots taken as DNG and JPGs are not combined as one photo (jps in sidecar), neither in LR mobile app nor in LR classic. Seems these are not recognizer as being "next to each other". Any...

    Sometimes Import 'Move' brings back errors

    Am importing files (reorganising) from one external hard drive to another. I import folders that contain 1 shoot and very occasionally I get an error message when Importing certain folders (using IMPORT>MOVE): Could not move to the destination folder because it is not writable or there is not...

    Another Windows Mystery

    I'm planning around with the new Super Resolution in 10.3. I just blew up a 6000x4000 NEF file to a 12000x8000 DNG. The original NEF was 27MB. The DNG is 370MB. All ok. Microsoft reports my NEF as being an image of 6000x4000. It says the DNG is 1024x683. Weird. Looking at the EXIF Data for the...

    DxO PureRAW Impressions

    I've already commented on another post on PureRAW but here are some of my personal conclusions. For background, I shoot with a Nikon D5300 and Olympus E-PM1 micro four thirds. For post processing, I use LrC and Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen. I shoot mostly landscape. I downloaded a trial version...

    Using DNG in LR6 longterm

    Hello Two scenarios: New Camera --> DNG --> LR6 --> Crop/Straighten --> Print New Camera --> Lightroom Classic--> Crop/Straighten --> Print Will I see any difference? Obviously, LR6 doesn't have features (eg dehaze) that LR Classic does. But, I don't care for the new features. I actually...

    RAW file converted to black and white on import without instruction

    Question about Lightroom 5. I've been using this software for some time. It is too old to read the raw files (RAF) from my new Fuji camera so I use the Adobe converter to convert them to DNG and then import them into LR5. Yesterday I shot an event in raw + jpeg. I used the windows 10 photos app...

    Library module Removing duplicates - HEIC vs JPEG and CR3 vs DNG

    Hello I am a real newbie. due to a number of mistakes I did over the years (of course, as I did not know this website and forum and basically I worked with a "trial and error" method), my Library is full of duplicates. Basically: - many pictures from my Canon camera, have CR3 version and DNG...

    Editing in Raw vs TIFF vs DNG- impact of external editors

    I have reviewed what I find on forums and also google searches and am not clear on the answer. The question is do you lose anything by editing LR classic in TIFF vs Raw vs DNG. The impact is primarily with the use of external editors. For example if one wants to use Topaz AI Denoise they suggest...

    Image Quality, iPhone 11: DNG vs JPG vs HEIC

    I've always been a pretty dedicated raw shooter, and was really excited when it became available on the smart phone a few years ago, and have been shooting with it pretty much exclusively. A few days ago, I got an iPhone 11, and just thought I'd do some tests, especially since I'm teaching...

    Suddenly my DNG files are double their size in LR 6

    Usually my DNG files take or took up around 25 - 30 Mb per shot. Now i discovered that since lately they are all around 50 Mb in size. I think I clicked on the import dialog somewhere wrongly (?) where I was asked to keep original Raw files inside the DNG or not. But for the life of me, I...

    Library module DNG+JPEG

    Lightroom shows files names like "P1030088-2.DNG+JPEG" in the corner of a preview thumbnail but in the computer's file system that file is actually "P1030088-2.DNG". There are also cases where Lightroom reports a file of "P1040011.dng" and in the computer's files system it shows the same name...

    Backup pc/folders

    Hello, I use Robocopy to make a mirror of my internal drives to an external one. Now I have a corrupt DNG file. For some reason, my external drives also have a corrupt dng photo. So my question is, which software do you use to incremental backup your drives to an (external) disk? Extra...

    Missing DNGs XMPs Remain

    I sincerely hope someone here can help. I'm lost. I have just discovered on recovering several folders from backup that there are several with no DNGs, some with only XMPs and some with only JPGs. I'm here because LIghtroom was having conversion issues at one point, wouldn't convert on import...

    Converting raw files to DNG

    G'day; long time no chat! I'm still snapping away at mostly unimportant subjects for something to do --- still using Lr5 mostly; On1'18 (sometimes :() and Affinity :) has replaced Elements 12. Not sure where to post this old -- antique:) -- Lr5 stuff so you are welcome to move or remove...

    Should I DNG?

    My camera shoots RW2, and I'm wondering if I should convert to DNG or not. I haven't so far, assuming any conversion has some kind of loss to it, but stumbled upon an article recommending converting from proprietary camera raw to dng systematically. What are your thoughts on this, kind forum...

    First LrCC Android Impressions: the Holy Grail is Nigh!

    After being a loyal iOS only user for 11 years, I've finally decided to give Android a try with Note 9 -- most of all, for the S Pen, and the 512GB internal memory, and the microSD card for storing my Lr Mobile-uploaded albums, 330K+, locally. I also wanted to try importing in the field and...

    JPG to DNG

    I'm new to photography, new to LR and new to this forum so here goes with a very basic question. My camera only shoots JPG images and I wonder whether it matters whether I choose to Copy As DNG or just Copy. I now know that DNG is designed for RAW files but in my case, with JPG, what would the...
