LR CC Panorama fails on Leica Monochrom DNGs

Just installed LRCC on my Mac (v10.10, MBP) and it seems to have problems creating panoramas from Leica Monochrom DNGs.
It only says "Unknown errors occured" (very helpful error-msg by the way!).
For a test i tried using NEF files from a NikonD700, and it works as expected.
The panoramas work fine in PSCC, so it seems to be a LR problem to me...
Would be neat if this could be made to work, as it would be great not to have to go outside of LR for this!
Thanks a lot!
Chris

Yes it is that simple. Just do a google search for Lightroom and Photoshop preference file locations and you should find them. The next time you start the programs, they will rebuild them. Of course, you'll have to re-enter any custom preference settings you've used. Good luck. Of course, when you think you've located them. Just rename them and move them into another folder first. That way, if you've picked the wrong file, you can easily move it back. Once things are working, you can just delete them.
BTW, this is a good troubleshooting tool for any mac applications that are acting wonky. Just delete that preference file, and more often than not, the problem will be fixed.

Leica Monochrom and Lightroom export problems

I am using the latest version of LR on a 2011 Mac Book Pro. I am running into problems when I export Leica Monochrom DNG files that are shot AT AND ABOVE ISO 6400. Lightroom is brightening the files on export a lot so that the final exported file does not look anything like what my edit looked like. This only happens with full resolution exports. Other Leica MM users have experienced the same issue. I have photos and screen shots to prove this. What is the problem?

What I was hoping for was an original raw image with all the OP’s adjustments intact so I could demonstrate what was happening at various zoom levels and with different settings, but that seems overly difficult to come by so I’ll give my analysis of what is happening and what to do about it:
The brightening has to do with the micro-noise-grain that has been excessively sharpened making the image a mixture of mostly white and mostly black dots immediately adjacent to each other rather than continuous tone of a low-ISO image. This is not an error with LR or with the camera, and will happen with any such image from any camera. The “brightening” is merely the visibility of the white granules at 1:1 zoom. When a zoom level less than 100% is used, LR or Windows Photo Viewer or Mac Preview must determine how to combine multiple pixels together to represent one output pixel in the reduced-sized image. Different viewers use different methods to combine adjacent pixels into one. Some use Average, some use Median, some use the value of a single pixel position to represent the entire reduced-size combination pixel—this is called nearest neighbor and is the fastest but least accurate. LR is known to use a fast but inaccurate resampling algorithm which is why there is a warning on the Detail panel to use 1:1 zoom to judge sharpening and noise adjustments.
The problem here is that this lightening and darkening depending on zoom level is messing with toning adjustments, so how to tone and adjust such images, is to temporarily turn off Detail sharpening and turn up noise-reduction then adjust toning in Fit view. Then zoom in to 1:1 and adjust the noise-reduction up or down to remove most of the obvious grain, and turn up sharpen masking so all you’re sharpening is edges. Maybe even turn off the Detail slider (set to zero) to keep from enhancing micro-noise texture.
If you do want grain for artistic effect then do that after you’ve removed the ISO noise. The difference with high-ISO noise and added noise-grain is the high-ISO noise is single-pixel in size and will not be resampled accurately while the noise-granules created by the Effects panel can be control both in size and intensity so as not to respond negatively to resampling nearly as much.
If you are exporting images to nearly full resolution then dial back the export sharpening quite a bit. If you are resizing quite a bit smaller than any micro texture will have been averaged out by the resizing and adding more sharpening during Export sharpening will help things look crisp, again.

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.

Monochrome dng

Hello,
I have been writing my own DNG headers to raw sensor grabs successfully for a while now. These have all been CFA sensors but now I have a monochrome sensor in the mix and I would like to save these as DNG as well. I have tried a variety of settings with the PhotometricInterpretation, CFAPattern, CFARepeatPatternDim tags and have had no success. Excluding the latter two tags will produce a greyscale image with dcraw but photoshop will not open these DNGs. I could just save these images as PNG but everything else is DNG and it just looks nice when everything is the same.
Any ideas on header tags for a monochrome DNG?
Thanks!
jt

Have you tried these options:
- Make a monochrome TIFF file instead of DNG. It should be fairly easy. You need about 12 tags.
- For DNG, don't make a CFA file, but a "linearRaw" file. PhotometricInterpretation = 34892 = LinearRaw

Leica Monochrom and another question

Does anyone know whether, or when, Aperture will support the Leica Monochrom camera. Seems odd that it doesn't do so.
Also, ( and maybe this is related ), my version of Aperture is 3.4 running on my 2010 27" iMac under OS 10.7.5, is this the latest available under that version of the OS? I note that there's a Aperture version 3.4.5 on the App Store, but my iMac's Software Update will not update to that.
Thanks!

No one here know, only Apple does and they don;t announce in advanced. There have been other disscusions asking this, check the More Like This box on the right hand side of the page for other threads.

3.4.5 should run on Lion 10.7.5 so a couple of questions.
1 Did you buy Aperture from the App Store originally or did you buy an older boxed or on-line version?
2 Is Aperture installed in your systems Application folder and named Aperture. Software needs these both to be true in order to see the app and update it.
3 Finally what version of Aperture are you running. Go to Aperture->About Aperture and report the version number listed there.

Leica monochrom

Just another Aperture user who would love Apple to provide an update for the Leica Monochrom camera.
The camera comes supplied with Lightroom 4, which is just not in the same league as Aperture.
Please Apple, provide us with an update!

Latest version of Aperture is not recognising .dng files from Leica Monochrom. Is anyone else getting this problem?

Is anyone else finding this to be the case?

Well, the files are probably not the same as those from the M9. In fact I'm pretty certain this isn't the case.
The monochrom is not listed on the RAW support page:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
I'm unsure whether running them through Adobe DNG converter would work, either (yes, I know it's DNG to DNG, but it may change the format). Have you tried it?

Leica M Monochrome DNG support

It doesn't seem like Aperture supports this file format, can someone help as I seem to have exhausted every other option.

Unfortunately Apple still does not support the Monochrom RAW/DNG file. Actually Apple does not support any non-Bayer sensor (Fuji Xtrans for example).
The workaround suggested by leonieDF unfortunately does not work. The Adobe DNG converter generates dng files that are still not supported (regardless of "convert to linear image", "compression" options or any raw version chosen).
Bruce's option works. Unfortunately the TIFF file generated is usually 3x the size of the DNG and does not seem to be as good to be manipulated (shadow detail for example). You can use Adobe Camera RAW but there are at least 2 other RAW converters (RPP and Photo Ninja) out there that now supports MM DNG's.
There are a number of programs that now support the DNG for the Monochrom. Lightroom would be the obvious one since comes with the Camera. PhaseOne C1 also now supports the DNG.
I understand that Apple is working on getting the MM files supported. It seems that it may require not only a RAW support update but also OS update. I would suggest to send a feedback to both Aperture team and Apple OS team. The more feedback, the more they will know we want support for this camera.
What I have been doing so far is to shoot JPG+DNG and editing the JPG. Once support is released, I can just use the RAW as primary and the edits will then be done at RAW level (may need more adjutments though). Not ideal (far from) but I am not ready to move to Lightroom.
Cheers

Issue sending Leica M9 DNGs to CS4 Photomerge

I've just attempted to send two M9 DNGs to CS4 photomerge and was asked to install Camera Raw 5.6.1 - otherwise there was a risk the program wouldn't run. True enough - it crashed.
My problem is that I can't find Camera Raw 5.6.1 anywhere. Is anyone able to help?
Thanks
C:

Thanks for your message - this is the error message. I have 5.6 installed...
One thing that's interesting is that it shows how little I'm using Photoshop these days - Lightroom 2 does pretty well everything I need (and the print module in LR3 beta actually works!)
Still - I do want to make this panorama without having to export TIFFs, and I will need to edit Leica DNGs in CS4, so I hope someone at Adobe can advise...
Best
Chris

Leica X1 DNG files not viewable thumbnails in Media Expression

Hi-
I just bought a Leica X1 which shoots raw in DNG format but the raw DNG files it creates to not display thumbnails in Media Expression (formerly a micorsoft product, now Phase one).
I am running mac OS X 10.6.4
One "solution" offered in the Leica forum was to run the Leica DNG file in DNG converter... I did and it worked but that is a really really clumsy solution to what I feel should not be a problem.... and renaming and deleting original files etc it a real PITA if you shoot any number of photos.
I know that Nikon had issues with new versions of NEF files which had something to do with "header changes" in the NEF file before ACR could decode them, and I'm wondering if there is some similar issue with DNG that I am not aware of.
Any information would greatly be appreciated.
cheers,
tom

the "appear for a moment" is probably Aperture showing the preview image in the .raw file, before deciding that it can't handle the raw image data.
(If it is this, then odds are Finder will show the images but Preview.app will also fail to.)
Clearly MacOS understands the .raw file format, but thinks that it doesn't have support for however your camera identifies itself in the EXIF data. Modifying the Raw.plist is the way to try, for now.

Cannot download leica m9 dng files into lightroom

I started using LR (5) only recently (about 50 days ago). Have no problem downloading RAW files from my Nikon 600 but I am having difficulties downloading DNG files from my Leica M9 although I have done it before successfully when I started. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?

What happens when you try?
If you get an error message, please quote it word-for-word

CS cannot open Leica M8 DNG files

Photoshop CS 8.0.1.
Converter 4_3_1
After running the DNG Converter CS cannot open the DNG- files.
I'm getting an error message that says:
"Cannot open.......because it is the wrong type of file?"
Who knows the solution of my problem.
Kees (from Holland)

My Camera Raw version is 2.0. and that was the cause.
After downloading and installing Version 2.4 the problem had been solved.
And indeed, the DND converter is unnecessary.
Jeff en PEC, thank you warmly for your suggestions.
Now I am a happy Photoshopper.

Panorama failing after pan begins

For the past couple of weeks, Panorama has stopped capturing the image almost immediately after beginning a pan. The image jumps into the camera roll (just like it does when you have finished) and no more images are pulled in.
I can't figure out what's going on. I have at least almost a GB free on the phone.

Problem solved. Can't remember what I did though!

New iPad doesn't support leica x2 dng or jpeg

Anybody else experiencing issues importing X2 files with camera kit? No problems reading the media with usb to lightroom or PS5.5

What does 'doesn't support ...' actually mean in this case? Ther's no info in your post as to what you are trying to do, or what the results of that are; all we get is your conclusion that your files are not 'supported', which is usually not the case at all.
Look into your camera's menu and see what options you have for naming your photos, what formats are used, etc., etc. iOS is fairly restrictive about what it will see and identify as image files coming into it
Try changing modes (PTP, whatever) in your camera if you are connecting it
If you're using an SDXC card, that's not suported by the CCK (as Apple points out in their documentation).
If your filenames are coming out as something other than the more or less standard "8 characters dot something", then iOS wont' see them as images.'
There are probably a few other little foibles that I'm forgetting about at the moment, but I think those three will solve things in most case, at least in those cases than can be solved. Good luck.
