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.

  • 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.

  • Issue with the material field in ME23N after upgrade

    Hi Experts,
    We are having an issue with transaction ME23N in ECC6.0 after upgrade from 4.6c.
    In this transaction for the given PO the value of the material is not populating. The material coloumn is displaying but the value of the material is not coming.
    For the same PO with the same data we are able to see the material number in ME23N in 4.6c.
    Please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    Hi,
    If you are a functional consultant then check the configuration settings in SPRO and compare it with the one in 4.6c system to find if the material number display in ME23N is enabled in your new system or not. Go to tcode SPRO and Material Management-> Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Screen Layout at Document level.
    Execute this and select on ME21N or tcode that you are having problem with. Then press details button and double click on Enjoy fields. Check if it Display check box is ticked or not.

  • Issues with some apps requiring administrative privileges after installing Mavericks

    Hi everyone. After updating to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have experienced the following inconveniences.
    1) Dropbox keeps asking for my administrative password at every boot.
    Quite annoying. Reinstalling the app didn't solve the issue. Instead, Finder integration seems now gone.
    2) VirtualBox won't start.
    The error message is "Effective UID is not root (euid=217 egid=20 uid=501 gid=20) (rc=-10). Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.".
    Needless to say that uninstalling the app with the script and reinstalling it didn't solve anything.
    3) XQuartz is also gone.
    It keeps popping out with this error message: "The application X11 could not be opened. An error occurred while starting the X11 server: "Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running. Click Quit to quit X11. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.".
    If I hit "Quit", the message comes out after some seconds. I used XQuatz to run Inkscape, which I have now replaced with iDraw, but the issue is still annoying.
    As far as I understand, the problem seems related with administrative privileges required by the apps. On my two other Macs (Mac Mini and iMac) things are fine, so I assume that somehow maybe some system files are messed up on the MBP. I ran a permission repair but it was useless. I searched the forums but it seems that nobody is experiencing the same troubles. I hope someone here may help me solve these issues without a fresh install. Any ideas?

    I think this may now well be a keychains issue.

  • Is anyone else having issues with pages not opening many files after the update

    I have just updated my pages app and now many of my documents cannot be opened. Any ideas ?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    I FAIL TO LIKE APPLE RIGHT NOW!

    Hi
    Very few Apple people are reading this forum. It's a User to User forum.
    I would try to delete the pref files (or rather start a new user account) to see
    if it runns OK.
    or read collected material:
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.

  • Issue with bringing up Weblogic 10.3 after changing username passcode

    I am facing Issue with bringing up Weblogic 10.3 after changing username passcode in security realm Madhok, basically i have removed the default weblogic user and defined m,y own custome user and provide the credentials in the server start tab. When i try and bring up the admin server it comes up fine but the managed servers fail to start from admin console and i can see security credentials authentication error in logs? Why would that be considering the admin server is able to come up with the same credentials.

    We had similar problem in the past, our problem was:
    Problem:
    We deleted weblogic default user from security realm and create new user when node manager and the managed servers were down. When we tries to bring up the managed servers after starting node manager we kept getting authentication denied errors.
    Solution:
    Recreate weblogic user and now try and bring up managed servers from command line using weblogic user. Once they are up shut them down and bring them up again with the new user you have created and it will work
    Reason:
    The managed servers in 10.3 seems to be storing the authentication details in there local managed servers ldap or cache. When you start the managed servers the don't know the new credentials and are authenticating against older values of stored credentials, hence they fail. Once they are started with the old credentials they communicate with admin servers to sync there cache with admin servers and the new credentials gets updated and from then on you can restart the managed servers with new credentials.
    Note: Sometimes after restart you may face the problem as the sync process with admin server is asynchornous, weblogic prints a line saying something like Performing async operation with server address null. If the line gets printed sync has happened and you are good. In case you don't see the line restart again and you will see the line after which you can restart with new credentials.

  • Blocked plug-in after installing flash?

    I don't understand why I have "blocked plug-in" after installing Flash.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

    Hi

    Have you tried the solution provided by

    If this is not the cause, then I would suggest you return to a previous point with system restore. or simply uninstall the updates december 10, 2014 , then check if issue persists, we should first find out whether one update included in is the culprit.

  • Macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
