DNG Conversion Of Sony ARW Not Carrying Over In Camera Lens Corrections

One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?

This is one of those confusing issues where the way Sony describes the feature makes it sound as though it's part of the ARW format, and the way Adobe describe ACR and DNG makes it sound like this would be one of those manufacturer specific details that DNG is supposed to convert into a the Adobe format.
Yes, that might be so. It's similar with the manual of my Nikon D600. Nowhere does it say explicitly that all these adjustments (including lens correction, Active D-Lighting, etc) work only for the JPGs. And it cannot be otherwise.
A Raw image is not defined yet, not written in pixels yet, heck it is not even an image.
The Raw image is only affected by the exposure, that's pretty much the only thing. Even White Balance is nothing but a metadata tag that - luckily - is read by Lr.
A DNG is Adobe's answer to the various Raw formats. But it is designed to behave like a Raw image. Therefore you cannot expect that camera settings that affect JPGs only carry over to DNGs.

There are so many features on cameras that are only supported with JPG output that it almost makes it not wroth bothering with RAW, as by the time you get to the end of the process, with all the extra steps and work involved in handling RAW, you pretty much wind up with something that looks like a JPG anyway, and you had to give up using some of the camera's features to use RAW.
This shows that you don't understand what Raw is and what its advantages over JPG are.
I would recommend that you educate yourself about the advantages of Raw. Your photography would benefit from this, believe me.
Google "Why should I shot Raw?" and you will find lots of good webpages.
Finally, Raw shooting is much simpler than shooting JPGs where you always have to fiddle with the virtual 100s of different settings for JPGs.
What do you have Lr for? In Lr you can adjust your Raw image by looking at it on a large calibrated monitor, whereas for the settings in your camera you have to rely on a 3" monitor - at best.
Make your life simpler and your photography better: Shoot Raw.

  • How can you sort bookmarks in the Sidebar by date added? Works in Library but does not carry over to Sidebar.

    When opening the Bookmarks Sidebar, the oldest bookmarks added are at the very top, easily visible.
    The most recent bookmarks added are at the bottom, requiring me to scroll all the way down every time I want to visit a recent bookmark. This is a major nuisance. I'm actually a little shocked that this happens when it's such an obvious hassle.
    How can I flip the list of bookmarks so the newest ones are right at the top where I can easily access them?
    Sorting in the Library does not carry over to the Sidebar as far as I can tell.

    Looks as though the SortPlaces add-on should be able to do it.

  • Adjustments not carried over to external editor?

    I've noticed that all my adjustments are not carried over to my external editor (niksoftware). Is this intended? Is there an option I'm missing that would allow me to do so? Because basically this forces my workflow to first do any adjustment externally and then come back to aperture to do the aperture-specific adjustments. Is this how everyone does it?

    This answered my own question, sorry for asking.

  • Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

    I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info".  I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column.  UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes.  When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced.  It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync. 
    I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

    Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

  • Batch Renames do not carry over to Finder

    When I Batch Rename my photos in Adobe Bridge, the images file names appear to change in Bridge, but when I close out of Bridge and open my images in Finder the images keep their old names and do not carry over the new Bridge batched rename.
    Can anyone tell me how to get my files to permanently change their names from Bridge to Finder?

    Working across a server in general, is not supported by Adobe.
    Bridge in particular is very sensitive to any problem(s) in your server configuration, which we cannot troubleshoot for you.
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Is it possible to create a new List from another List's template and NOT carry over the associated Workflow?

    Related to
    this post, in cases where it's desirable to have two different workflows for two different Lists—is it possible to NOT bring forward a hardwired workflow when creating a new List from a saved template?
    I.e. List #2 still has the workflow from List #1 hardwired in.  List #1 still needs its workflow but List #2 wants to have a separate Workflow.

    More importantly, because it's relatively easy for most folks to just start from scratch with a new Workflow—how does one disassociate a carried-over Workflow from the new List?
    Use the web-GUI. (List Settings > Workflow Settings)
    From Designer, there's a shortcut button at the top of the page in the Workflows tab: "Administration Web Page".

  • Session data not carried over. with IE6SP1 and WL7

    Hi,
    We recently upgraded our clustered WL to WL7x and after that we started seeing
    a strange problem regarding session data of our HTML/Servlet pages.
    When we access the pages through this cluster, the session data(browser cookies
    not accepted) is not carried forward in IE6 SP1. With IE5x it works fine. The
    Local Intranet is always coming as blocked for the cookies. I am not able to reset
    the settings also.
    The same set of programs are working fine with server running WL5x.
    Is it anything due to P3P or is there any setting I should do at WL7 level for
    this problem? When I do the URL rewriting this works fine but, as many are static
    HTMLs submitting servlet request, we are not able to do URL rewriting.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    kavitha

    It doesn't seem to be a problem with serializable attributes though.
    Also Weblogic doesn't use the distributable tag. So that should
    not matter too.
    Can you investigate further and try to pinpoint the issue?
    When we access the pages through this cluster, the session data(browser
    cookies not accepted) is not carried forward in IE6 SP1What do you mean by session data not carried forward?

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 function does not carry over all Lightroom adjustments

    LR 3.3 with ACR 6.3
    After selecting "Edit in CS5" I do not get the dialogue box asking if I would like to apply Lightroom adjustments.
    Image opened in CS5 includes some adjustments from the Develop Module, but not the Transform Lens Corrections that I had applied.
    Anyone have tips on how to fix this?
    Thanks much.

    OK, I managed to figure it out.  I had been getting a warning box about Camera Raw 6.5, which my "about Lightroom 3..." shows that I have.  I had been selecting "open anyway" and was losing the transforms so I just tried "render using Lightroom" and it worked fine.

  • RAW from my Sony NEX-5R doesn't work - the lens correction at 16mm doesn't exist

    Hi guys,
    i have a big problem with the RAW's of my Sony NEX-5R. When i take a picture with my Kit-Lens at 16mm it looks so bad an their is no lens correction. I tried serval thinks. Reinstalled Aperture; create a new libary, etc. but nothing works. I don't want so switsh to an other program, so maybe somebody could help me.
    Here is a example:

    I had hopes with this : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5358 since it was last updated quite recently (17th of Jan 2014)
    But unfortunately, this is not true.
    My pictures taken with my NEX-6 and the 16-50mm lens are still distorted, even though I updated all I could, and I always imported my RAW pictures directly from my camera to Aperture...
    I hope an update will fix this quite soon...

  • Lightroom 4 settings are not carried over to Photoshop CS5

    When opening a raw and unedited file using the 'Edit in Photoshop' menu selection in Lightroom 4 the image opens as expected in Photoshop CS5. The images seem to look identical to me. If I then exit from PS without doing anything to the photo I am prompted to save the file. I do so and return to LR4. Comparing the original raw file and the tif created by PS they appear to be identical.
    Next, I make some whitebalance, exposure, and cropping changes to the raw image in LR4. 'Edit in Photoshop' opens the image in PS CS5 but the image appears different. Cropping is there but other adjustements seem to me to be lost. Again clost the image without any editing in PS CS5 and am prompted to save the file. I do so and the saved tif appears in LR4 just as it looked in PS CS5. However they are different.
    I'm using a Windows 7 64  bit computer.

    The most significant point is that the first time you go to Photoshop with an image, you start with one image inside LR and you end up with two - the original image, and a brand new edited version. Generally this is "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments"; in other words, something that looks the same as the LR starting image currently does, as a starting point for PS alteration.
    Subsequent times you take this edited version of the image back to Photoshop, the Edit In.. feature automatically switches to "Edit Original" as default behaviour. This is so that you don't get a whole family of fresh image versions appearing in LR, and a whole cluster of TIFF files on disk. Just the same image progressively changing over time, as PS work is done.
    A PS-edited version seen newly in LR, starts out with zero applied LR adjustments - so it appears at first, exactly as PS has just saved it.
    Say (to help clarify this ) you make a virtual copy at this point - and apply some more LR adjustments onto that. You can now see three versions: [1] the starting original which did not go to PS; [2] an untouched version of the PS edit, which has so far been left alone by LR; and [3] another version of the same PS edit, this time with some new LR adjustments overlaid.
    If you push the image back to PS for some more editing, save that, and return to LR then both versions [2] and [3] are going to update so as to reflect this later editing. That is because both are deriving their underlying content in a live manner from the same file on disk, which has since changed.
    While you are editing any file within PS you are always viewing the actual content of that file. This will naturally look the same as the untouched LR version [2] does. But it will not look the same as the adjusted LR version [3] does - because the live LR settings which cause [3] to look different to [2], are not included in the PS file which they share. They are separate from that - they are being nondestructively applied and displayed on-the-fly by Lightroom only, and in this example, only in the case of one of the two derived versions.

  • F110 - Pmt Method in Vendor Master not carried over

    Hi SAP Experts,
    Am relatively new to SAP-FI and would like to ask for your invaluable tips on my problem.
    Am using F110 where my payment method is "C" and all of my vendor open items don't have any payment method for each invoice.
    When I run F110, the payment method "C" in the vendor master is not taken by the system and so all of my open items are marked as "exceptions".
    Did I miss out on any settings in my vendor master or in my payment method set-up so that when F110 is ran, the payment method in the vendor master will be used by the system if the invoice does not contain a payment method.
    Thank you all for your help!

    Hi, upload vendor open items with requaired method using FBL1N. Select required items and click Button Mass change.
    Payment method in master data will be picked up to Item by default if you don't maintain it manually or by substitution.

  • Animation not carried over from Motion to FCP

    In my FCP project, I sent a clip to Motion. In Motion, I imported another motion file of a car with spinning wheels that I made earlier and used that in the new Motion clip, along with some additional animation. Now, when I go back to FCP the car is visible, the additional animation is also visible, but not the spinning wheels. Is it not possible to embed Motion files within Motion?
    When I export the clip from Motion directly to a QuickTime movie, everything is fine. But I'd rather don't go that route because it's much easier to move between FCP and Motion automatically.
    Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

    I'm guessing Final Cut is not referring back to the Motion file correctly.  If that is the case here's a fix.
    Open your Motion file back up (recent projects if you aren't sure what it is) and resave it by a different name somewhere you can easily find it.  Alternatively you can export is a ProRes4444 clip if you don't want to have to render it on your FCP timeline.
    Return to the clip in Final Cut.  Control-click on the clip that should be a Motion document and pick "Reconnect Media."  Point Final Cut to the resaved/exported Motion file you created.  You may have to uncheck the box about showing only media with the same reel name.  Hit Connect.
