Lightroom and DxO: fix lens flaws in a TIF file exported from LR

Hi,
I'm in love with LR, I don't mind if people tell me that other Raw converter do a better job in demosaicing. Anyway some time ago a friend told me about DxO Optics Pro, I tried and loved the lens corrections. I thought I could prform those correction at the end of my workflow on a Tiff file exported from LR to DxO. No way! It seems that DxO doesn't recognize the lens used to shoot the image. It seems that LR and Camera Raw delete all the infos related to optics used. Any help would be appreciated.
Bye!

I used the following command to swap exif data:
exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile DSC_0002.NEF -exif:all DSC_0009-2.tif
The TIF file contais less exif tags than the NEF (or DNG) file, and there is no tag about the lens used.
Here's what I get copying exif data from one file to another:

  • Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

    Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

    The will.
    Or at least they can, and do, sometimes, if you have good MOV karma..
    Why not supply a little more info, like:
    * Which OS
    * Which version of Lightroom
    * History of MOV files.
    * Export format.
    * Do other video types export OK
    * How many different MOV files have you tried - all with the same history?
    and of course:
    * What, exactly, happens, when you try?

  • HOW-TO Distinguish between file exported from Datapump and normal export

    How to distinguish between the dmp file export from the data pump utility and the export utility in Oracle 10g and 11g .
    Thanks,
    SS

    Like Werner suggested, it's never hurt to try anyway.
    use imp with SHOW=Y, if it works then Original otherwise Data pump.
    Once you determined one file, there's good chance that the rest are same. I don't think previous DBA will go through the trouble by mixing data pump and traditional exp/imp.

  • How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?

    My question it:
    How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?
    I have designed a "website" in adobe muse and exported it as an html file. I am not sure how to send my .html file in an email!
    Best,
    Nicole

    Unfortunately, the answer is, you don't. The requirements for HTML displayed in an e-mail reader are very different than those for HTML displayed in a browser. The output of Muse won't work as an HTML e-mail. You could upload the Muse site as a website and provide a link to it in an e-mail, but the HTML generated by Muse is not suitable for direct display by an e-mail program.

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

    I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software.  I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
    I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4  I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...".  Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
    I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine.  I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
    So my questions come down to :
    Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8?  Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
    Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
    I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4.  Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
    Hmmm?
    Thanks for any help, insight,
    Mike

    BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route.  I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support.  Appreciate the link.
    And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down.  I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am.  I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4.  I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers.  That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs.  Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
    Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

  • Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line?  Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

    Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose.  Any advice?  Not the most sophisticated user.

    Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

  • Using lightroom and Dxo together.

    I have been using DXO for sometime now and love the results I get. While the images are not what I would consider a final product, I think of them as a good base to work from. I absolutely love light room and would love to use both of these programs together in a way that is easy and time efficient. I hate that Light room does not automatically detect new images (like bridge does) because then I could easily just put the dxo edits into a sub folder of the main directory which would keep them nicely organized with the originals and still keep them separate and light room would automatically see them this way. Is there a way to do this that inst a complete hassle?

    I am keeping everything in raw pretty much until I output it. I I just have light room setup to automatically import everything once I put my card in. In DXO, I output the corrected files into DNG. In light room I use the library module to quickly sort through all of my pictures and assign ratings. I usually give myself 1-4 stars and only edit those with a three star rating or higher. I never give myself five starts because I am my own worst critic. I do all my basic corrections in the develop module. I find it to be very intuitive which allows me to quickly move through a large number of images. I find that DXO gives me a much better base to work off of which saves me time. I only output to tiff or jpeg when I edit files in photoshop where I sharpen for final output (printing or web) or do any extensive edits. I never use the other modules because I have access to a fuji frontier at work so I do all my printing there.

  • Firefox tends to freeze at random and to fix I must use ctrl+alt+del. From there I can restore my previous session when I reopen firefox. This has never been an issue before Firefox 6

    Firefox is giving me issues to where it crashes at supposedly random times. It has frozen up when merely left on but more than often tends to freeze when opening a new page. I have 4GB RAM, 3.00GHz Duel Core processor, 8800 GTX Nvidia GPU. This issue has never been so prominent until the Firefox 6 update.

    Go to''' Tools'''
    then '''Options'''
    In privacy choose '''Remember History'''
    Then go to
    ''General Tab''
    At the start up drop down menu when firefox starts select
    '''show my windows and tabs from last time'''
    That should fix things

  • Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

    Ok.
    My workflow is
    RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
    Since ten I've trying different things
    1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
    2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
    What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
    Thank you

  • Hello, bought a used Mac and I'd like to change the home file name from the previous owner having someone elses name on the home icon is driving me nuts thanks!

    Hello - new to mac -  bought a used Mac OS X 10.6.8 - I'm set up as admin yet can't seem to remove or edit the home file (john's computer with the home icon).  Anyone know how to do this?

    Before following these steps, you may wish to back up your important data.
    For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
    Enable the root user.
    Log in as root.
    Navigate to the /Users folder.
    Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
    Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
    Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
    After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
    Disable the root user

  • Lightroom and Vista....Any workaround for memory? - Cause it's slow

    I've searched all over for a soution.   I can not tolerate the lack of responsiveness that Lightroom 3 has when it comes to working on my RAW files.   Here's my system info...bear in mind that I was working on 1 NEF file
    Lightroom version: 3.0 [677000]
    Operating system: Windows Vista Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 6002)
    Version: 6.0 [6002]
    Application architecture: x86
    System architecture: x86
    Physical processor count: 4
    Processor speed: 2.6 GHz
    Built-in memory: 3070.5 MB
    Real memory available to Lightroom: 716.8 MB
    Real memory used by Lightroom: 993.1 MB (138.5%)
    Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 1115.8 MB
    Memory cache size: 0.0 MB
    System DPI setting: 96 DPI
    Desktop composition enabled: Yes
    That's a quad core with 3GB of memory however, Vista only makes 700mb of memory available for lightroom and as you can see, processiong one raw file puts me at over the allocated memory.   Lightroom 3 System requirements call for 2MB of available RAM.  I surpass that but the system requirements don't seem to take into account the Vista memory allocation issue.
    Is there a way, that anyone is aware of, to allocate more memory to lightroom 3?  I can not work at this pace.  I can't even export the processed image as a full size jpg because I get the "not enough memory" error message in lightroom.   I disable all uneeded processes when running lightroom by the way which includes turning off anti-virus.  I usually have my laptop running on the corner of my desk in the event I need to look something up on the web.
    This has become unusable in this current state.  Is this a Vista flaw, a lightroom flaw or a combination of both.  Is anyone aware of a workaround to this issue? 
    Thanks to all that respond.

    As stated elsethread, 32-bit Windows operating systems can address 4Gb of memory.  In general, out of the box installs will allow user processes 2Gb of that.  So Lr has access to 2Gb for the static application and for the memory it uses at run time. This 2Gb also has to be shared by other processes, so the OS provides virtual memory to let applications grow as necessary, up to that 4Gb limit.
    There are tricks for giving user processes more memory, but there is often a trade-off because of the way Windows segments this memory. One of the trade-offs is that access to the other chunk of memory is much slower, though not as slow as paging. There are other gotchas, too.
    What other processes are using up real memory?  Which ones demand to be paged in from virtual memory (which could slow down other applications like Lr)?
    So, Lr will use memory if the memory manager can give it memory, but it really has to take what it gets.  And some operations are memory intensive, especially on larger raw files.  If the memory Lr is using is being paged, it can result in perceptually slow application performance.
    I'd start with firing up Vista with very little running.  Exit all user applications, and kill services you don't need when working with photos, like real-time anti-virus protection (most of which are nothing more than a panacea that eat up resources and slow down the entire OS) and the search index stuff (which is basically broken until Windows 7) and stuff like that.
    Make sure you make a large raw cache, and put the raw cache on a fast disk that is not the same as the one where your previews are. Buy a cheap drive and format it NTFS just for this purpose, if you have to.  Disk space is cheap, and it can act as a backup for your photos on import. Get rid of all the video/sound/whatever driver cruft that is not the just the drivers. nVidia, et al, love to install toolbar cruft that gives you nothing except higher CPU and memory usage.  You might want to create a new user account that is as clean a possible with all this stuff disabled or removed.
    Lr /can/ work ok in a limited 32-bit environment, but you might have to tune the system a little.
