I have noticed that all my old dng files in the LR catalogue have just the 'first presets" attached and not the old revisions and improvements that are in the dng files on an external harddrive.
When I wanted to see and import those old, better looking image files, I made a new folder called 'Trialold' in the LR catalogue and I am trying to import those old better dng files to compare the two, but I do not know how? Importing as DNG, apparently killed the old pped settings during import and reverted them to my generic preset values. So should I copy, add, move them instead? What will keep those old dng settings intact in an upload or replacement?
AND when I try to import images from the external drive to the 'Trialold' folder, LR notices that these images are already in the library and does not let me import or even see the old pped versions at all.
How can I see and replace some now just simply' 'preset' image dng files in my LR catalogue with the old fully pped dng versions? And do so and see both 'development' level images displayed. To then choose either one as best. And available in LR.
How can I view a dng file altogether on a hard drive? I see no way to use the DNG converter that then pops up; what settings are needed?
