DNG Flat Field Plug-in usable with Bridge/ACR?

Can the DNG Flat Field plug-in be used at all with Adobe Bridge and ACR, or to apply a flat field must you import images into Lightroom and create DNG files using Lightroom?
Also - must you apply the flat field correction before you apply any other processing or development to the main image? i.e. I assume the main image and flat field calibration image must have identical processing steps applied to them and those should be default or minimal development.

Hi Alan,
No, the DNG Flat Field plug-in can only be used with Lightroom. It is specifically a plug-in for Lightroom.
The Develop adjustments do not affect the flat field correction. Internally, the plug-in will apply the calibration to the image data before any of the Develop adjustments come into play. (This is necessary because the flat field or shading correction needs to be applied very early in the image processing pipeline.) So, it does not matter what you have your Develop controls set to.
In terms of a practical workflow, it makes sense to apply your flat field correction before even going into Develop. This is because the result of a flat field correction will change the baseline or "starting point" for your image (e.g., it will change the color and/or tonal balance). So, it is better to find out what that corrected starting point is before you begin tuning color and tone in Develop.

Issues with DNG Flat Field Plug-in after installing updates

Hello,
First of all many thanks to the Lightroom-team for making the DND Flat Field Plug-in available. I am using it to correct images taken with non-retrofocus M-mount lenses on a Sony NEX-7. I have previously used CornerFix, which worked fine, but the workflow in conjunction with Lighroom isn't really convenient.
Now to the issue I am facing: initially, the plug-in worked very well, but after installing all recent CS6 updates, I am now receiving the following after selecting the reference image:
A new DNG-file is still created, with some adjustments being made, but it looks like not all vignetting and color casts are being corrected. After dismissing the above message, Lightroom keeps showing the flat field correction task as still in progress:
This can be cancelled, and I can continue to use LR without any problems. When I attempt another flat field correction, I face the same issue.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? And is it possibly correlated with the installation of a specific CS6 update (of which there have been quite a few over the past week or so)?
I should probably note that I'm running LR 4.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 and a Mac Pro 2008 with 24GB RAM.
TIA for any feedback!
Best,
Ron

I had the exact same issue with LR4.2, that is until yesterday. Then I did not get the error but I did not get the flat field image either. All I got was the original image indicating that it was in a group of two but the second image was not there. Tried synchronize but no image was indicated.as available. Processing did not hang and indicated that it went to completion. Must be a problem with 4.2 as it worked with 4.1. With 4.1 I got no grouping, just a new file with "ff" appended to the name.
Asside: I am using a shift adapter with a E-M5 and 28mm OM legacy lens. I shoot three images for a pano, then set the shift back to starting point and shoot three flat field image. Problem (not Adobe's fault) it that I often forget to shoot the flat fliel images. Break down to move on and then realize - Oh Crap! When I remember and using 4.1 it works well.

Plug in Issue with Bridge and Photoshop

When attempting to access Bridge in Photoshop (CS5 Extended) I received the following message: "Could not complete the browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript Plug-in". I have never received this message when using Bridge. I do not know how to access the plug in file. I am not sure how to correct this issue. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks, DanOmaha

CS3 with Bridge and DNG converter on new MacBook Pro and update recognition

I have CS 3 with Bridge. I installed it on my MAC desktop in 2008 and had to update the DNG converter to recognize my Nikon D700 raw files. I have a new MAC Book Pro and installed the software on it but it does not recognize the raw files, I downloaded the updated DNG converter but unlike the desktop it did not automatically update as I recalled it did in 2008. On the DNG Converter window the #1 selection is select image to convert, #2 Select location to save conver timages and #3 select name for converted images. Not sure what to do here, it all most leads me to believe i need to do this each time I download raw images?
Any step by step help is appreciated!

Metadata - Issue Can You Customize Apertures Metadata to work with Bridge

I am a photographer and my workflow is to import all my images into Aperture library and add metadata. When exporting image is it possible to integrate the data with Bridge? This is important feature as most people do not import images with Aperture. The issue is that many of the field names are different or non existent between the two programs. For example Location in Bridge is Sub location in Aperture. Can you add contact info such as URL, email that are included within Bridge?
Is there a way to customize the metadata fields to work with CS3?
Any advise is greatly appreciated

Hello Dhruser1,
I think that the DAQmx Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration should work for the SCC-SG24 module. Take a look at this article: Removing Large Initial Offset for Load Cell or Strain Measurements with SCXI-1520 or PXI-4220 in particular it mentions that using this VI in addition to the auto zero can introduce an offset. If you're doing both these is likely the cause.
Also, when you specify specific channels using the channels input are you also setting the "skip unsupported channels to false? If not this may be why it affects other channels.
I hope this helps, and if not please feel free to post back with an update after trying these things.
Cheers,
Brooks

Errors using Lightroom DNG Recover Edge plug-in

I'm trying the new Adobe Labs' DNG Recover Edge plug-in with Lightroom 4.2, but I'm having troubles on Canon 5D Mark II and Mark III images.
The plug-in:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lightroomplugins.html
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/lightroomplugins/lightroomplugins_dngre_docs.pdf
When I apply it to an uncropped image, I often get this error message: "An internal error has occurred. ?:0: attempt to compare nil with number" When I get this message, Also, after that, I have to cancel the process manually or else it apparently runs indefinitely with no result.
I got that error message all but one time that to use the plug-in on my first attempt to get this working.
One exception was when it appeared to work, creating a new DNG with the suffix "_full" on the filename. However, it only increased the DNG size by a vanishingly small amount. Lightroom still reports its size as the same, 5760x3840 pixels in the frame around the image in the Library and in the overlaid info text (hit "I" to reveal). The metadata panel shows the larger 5796x3870 size.
After that, the plug-in appeared to work, but it created an image that was labeled "2 of 2," with a dark frame around it in the Library module. However, I couldn't find 1 of 2.
Then I quit and restarted Lightroom, and both of the images appeared, grouped as a stacked image. Comparing the two images, though, there was no difference, though the metadata panel said the one with the recovered edges should have more pixels.
Anybody else seeing these errors? They seemed to be less of an issue after my restart of Lightroom but the plug-in still seems to be misbehaving in some ways.

Regarding the plug-in problems, I also haven't been able to reproduce it since the initial failure. This includes trying it with the initial images for which the plug-in didn't work; I suspect the problem wasn't with the specific images but with some other issue about Lightroom's state. Lightroom seemed to be working OK aside from the plug-in issue. I first used the plug-in immediately after installing it, with no Lightroom restart.
Regarding the cropping issue, it finally occurred to me that the "full" DNG created with the plug-in was cropped. So yes, once I reset the crop, I got the full 5796x3870 view. It was an expectations management issue for me -- I'd expected to see the full uncropped version as soon as I created the full DNG. This is an RTFM failing on my part, since the documentation (I now see) says, "This results in new DNG images (automatically imported) where clearing the crop will give you the full image area..." I'm sure you thought about this software behavior carefully (for example in situations where somebody had cropped and rotated an image already before creating the full DNG), but FWIW I expected to see the full view when I created the full DNG. (As an aside, at least to me, the phrase "a.k.a., active area, stage 3 image area" in the documentation doesn't help to explain anything.)
Regarding the user crop with the 5D3, yes, again a case of RTFM failure. You do need to change "add cropping info" to on.
Thanks for your responses.

Problem with Bridge search

Can't install Adobe DNG Recover Edge plug-in (Info.lua: bad header in precompiled chunk)

Hello,
I tried to install the Adobe DNG Recover Edge plug-in in Lightroom 4.3.
After adding it in the plug-in manager I get the error:
Info.lua: bad header in precompiled chunk
Can someone help me with this or had anyone the same issue?

I just got the exact same problem with a brand new installation of LR 4.4. Has anyone got a solution to this. It's very frustrating to see that this problem has been around and apparently not addressed for so long.

How does metadata work with Bridge and Premiere?

We are trying to figure out how to start using metadata with bridge. But it doesnt seem to work. I can load an avi file into premiere and change the metadata fields for description or scene or log or whatever, when i load it into premiere i see that data, when i look at it in bridge i don't see any of the metadata.
I can go into bridge and edit the metadata for a file. and when i look at it in bridge it is always there. but looking at that same file in premiere there is no metadata there.
we have 8 premiere workstations on a fibrechannel network solution we edit with. we want to have about 5TB of stock video clips available with metadata that every machine can search and use in projects.

I know nothing about Premiere, but perhaps they use different methods to store data. With Bridge it puts the metadata on the file. With some programs like PS Elements it puts the metadata in a table. With PSE one can select "write metadata to file" and solve problem. Check with Premiere to see how data is stored.
If you are entering keywords a good check is to look with Windows Explorer and see it there are any "tags" listed after entering it in Premiere. WE and Bridge read the same.

Flat field plugin BUG (Windows)

I battled long and hard to get the flat field plugin to work and finally it does. However there is a small bug important bug:
If the file directory name has a scandinavian character (in this case there was an ä), the plugin fails to work.
I hope this fill be fixed in a future release.
Message was edited by: perkyle

Thanks, this has actually saved me a lot of time chatting with Adobe support... the same problem does exist with German special characters (such as ä, ä, ü). I have just upgraded from pre-release version of LR5.3 to the final version and (by pure chance) used a directory with a special character. I thought at first the problem was caused by the upgrade. Thanks again for pointing out the bug.

Adobe Creative Cloud/Photography: does it come with Bridge?

Does anyone know if Adobe Creative Cloud/Photography comes with Bridge?

Yes, it does.
I've found that Adobe has put lots of effort into pushing Photoshop and Lightroom as part of that plan but does not fully explain the entire plan anywhere convenient.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
Derek Randall

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

How do I click a key and have Firefox populate a field I am in with specified text?

I provide online assistance for a specific group of clients. I am finding myself repeatedly writing almost the exact same paragraphs. Which Add-on would allow me to simply populate a field on a page with the exact text -- I'm hoping to set up 20 or 30 responses that I can just select instead of having to retype everything. Thanks for any guidance.

Nailed it cor-el!!!!! I am so delighted! It's exactly what I've been looking for. I gave you a SOLVED with pleasure.
