Missing/changed adjustment sliders for DNG files

I am new to Lightroom. Am wondering why, when I open DNG files in the Develop Module, the basic tab is different than when I develop RAW/NEF files? With NEF files there are sliders for shadows, highlights and clipping but with DNG they are different - blacks, recovery, fill light. etc.. Why is this and is there a way to make the Basic tab the same for both (both like the NEF Basics tab)?

Your DNG files already include older Develop settings, so it's respecting those existing settings.  The recovery and fill light sliders are part of an older Process Version called PV2010.  You can update to the new PV2012 sliders by going to the Histogram panel and clicking the lightning bolt icon, or by going to the Calibration panel and selecting 2012 in the Process pop-up.
If you want an intro to process versions, have a read of this: http://members.lightroomqueen.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1175/189/an-introduction-to-p rocess-versions  It was written for LR4, so just ignore the exclamation mark in the bottom right corner - that's now a lightning bolt in the Histogram panel.

  • "Embedded" camera profile for .dng file?

    Why does Lightroom 5 show "embedded" as an option for camera profile for .dng files created by my pentax k-30?  I thought that "embedded" profiles did not apply to .dng files?

    A JPG can contain color profile data not just a reference tag containing the name, although other Google results indicate that the APP2 segment is only has 65533 bytes of data and if the profile is too large for that then it is either chunked somehow or written into an XMP segment:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/metadata/doc-files/jpeg_metadata.ht ml#color
    “If the ColorSpace of the image is based on a non-standard ICC Profile, then that profile is embedded in an APP2 marker segment. If the ColorSpace is not based on a non-standard ICC Profile, but an app2ICC node appears in the metadata, then an APP2 marker segment is written with the appropriate standard profile. Note that the profile must specify an RGB color space, as the file must be JFIF compliant.”
    EXIFtool can extract and embed a profile:

  • Changing adjustment sliders colous

    I don't know if I missed anything but when using PSE 10 I find that many of the adjustment sliders are very difficult too see.  For instance if you use the spot healing tool you basically have a black slider on a black background.  Is there a way around this?

    I fear there is no way to change the UI of the PSE
    But PSE11 is with all new UI and bigger fonts and sliders. Why don't you go ahead and try its trail

  • Did Apple remove support for DNG files generated out of Capture One?

    I use Capture One to convert my Leica Dlux-4 RAW files into DNG format and then use Aperture2.1.4 as my photo processing tool.
    After I ran the latest OS update - Aperture gives a "Unsupported file format" message for all the DNG files.
    Is it possible that Apple removes support for photo formats in the OS updates?
    Anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution?
    Thx

    Go in the adjustment tab, and the first thing you'll see under the histogram is "Raw fine tuning". By default, "2.0" is selected. When importing DNG, you can switch it to "2.0 DNG" this is used to read DNGs from cameras Aperture doesn't support.
    Maybe the update made it go back to its default "2.0" while before you where on "2.0 DNG". If I'm right, setting it to "2.0 DNG" will fix the problem.
    P.S. sorry if I said "raw precision" instead of "Raw fine tuning" in the first place. My Aperture is in French and the name in French is "Réglage de précision raw" and I did a bad translation.

  • Changing "normal size" for QT file?

    I am not sure what this is but I guess it is the default size of the movie when it opens. Is there a way to change this value for a movie? I have looked at the AppleScript dictionary, but cannot see it listed.

    I come from the "old" Internet where file size is important. Big files don't work well with my dial-up so I've learned some tricks to keep my file sizes small.
    http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/samplemakeeffectmovie/samplemakeeffectmovi e.dmg
    I don't know how this app may work on an Intel machine. Rosseta is required.
    Its purpose was to combine two movie files and allow a transition (millions of combinations). Since I was using still image files I first had to give them "time". I added them "scaled" to a ten second sound file then extracted this new 10 second video. Still file sized as if a single image.
    Once I had merged two of these new files it became a new .mov file. Then it was copy/add scaled to add them all into a new file (the sound track). Last was the Texas map over the entire file.
    Try doing that with iMovie!
    And an iMovie file would have measured fifty times larger in file size.
    Tips and tricks can be found in my book.
    Terms of these Discussions require I state I may receive compensation from the link above.

  • Support for DNG files from Odyssey7Q.

    Just upgraded my Odyssey7Q to capture 4K RAW from the FS700. Importing the DNGs into Premiere yields an extremely purple image. The DNGs import fine in After Effects.
    Any chance to get this addressed in a Premiere update?

    Hi Dave,
    I did start the thread over on DVXUser - good to see you're working with Convergent Design on supporting their DNG files :) The odyssey 7Q is an excellent bit of kit and seems to be taking the world by storm!
    Are you able to say if support for this will be in the next release and roughly when we might expect to see that?
    I'm guessing we're about due for another release? Maybe for NAB time????
    Cheers,
    Paul.

  • Change Open With for all files with a specific extension

    Hi, I've been using OS X for quite some time, but more recently cannot see how you do the following which is proving frustrating:
    * Open Get Info for a file,
    * Use the drop down under Open With to choose Other,
    * Select an appropriate application that wasn't on the drop down list (in this case Smultron text editor for CSV files),
    * Press the Change All button and the drop down turns back to Excel which was the previous default.
    So basically, how do I change all files with CSV extension to Smultron when Smultron wasn't in the list of Open With items and I have to use Other from the list. This is repeatable for any file type with any application that isn't listed and is on both my iMac and my work's MacBook. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean!!
    Thanks

    Thanks NeroWolf,
    Your solution does work for that single file, but doesn't change the system wide association of that file extension with a particular application. It is because this works that I believe the problem I am having is uncircumventable and is in fact a bug in the OS. Could anyone else confirm this?
    Cheers,
    Stuart
    It might be a bug. What I found is that the icon does not change unless I log out/in or reboot, even when the app normally puts an icon on the file.
    For example if I change an audio file to always open with VLC, it does even though the icon remains as before. However, even though clicking plays the audio with VLC, if I right click the file and select "Open With" it still says iTunes (app) default which is incorrect.

  • Support for DNG files?

    Will aperture ever support the Adobe generated DNG file format?

    No offense and I enjoyed your comments.
    Thanks
    CCD or CMOS sensitivity to light is non-linear. One
    step of processing a DNG is to determine whether to
    linearize (i.e. decode) this specific CCD/CMOS
    sensitivity to a standard value. Aperture does not
    support linearize and I explain why I believe this is
    so below.
    There are two very different versions of DNG. The
    non-linearize one is little more than a wrapper,
    which is why Aperture can read these DNG's as the RAW
    is embedded. Now you state rightly that DNG
    converters must do more than put a wrapper on, and
    that is true ... but not for this type of DNG.
    The other (linearize) is an interpreted RAW within a
    standardized format (wrapper). Blackpoint
    compensation (subraction), scaling etc. are also
    manipulable variable. Aperture cannot read linear DNG
    even if the RAW is supported.
    Aperture RAW support is lacking and their support of
    DNG is based on non-linear.
    Well, then, how do SilkyPix, Lightzone and RAW Developer manage to open non-linear DNG from cameras they don't support and interpret them very well? That's what I want CoreImage to do.
    Aperture need
    to be vastly better at adding RAW support or telling
    us their roadmap, or providing camera manufacturers
    the API or ... but something!!!
    100% agreed. However, since it is part of the OS we depend on OS updates which are way too slow to follow on the camera market. Moreover, I presume the release manager has other priorities in scheduling OS X updates than those pesky photographers with their marginal second cameras. I think that's a big part of the problem. The release of a RAW update for just the EOS 400 and D80 were due to too much market pressure. It also shows Apple priorities: it is not the pro or consumer status of a camera that will decide ts priority, but only its amrket share. Sorry, but that's a mistake because professional photographers tend to have different cameras and some far less prominent than the Nikon and Canon DSLRs. This is a major win for LR IMHO.
    I agree with you that this is close to useless and
    the situation is untenable for professionals. Oh, my
    next camera is determined by Apple? Humm.
    Yes, I really wonder what they are thinking.
    Why would Aperture do this? Well, I believe it is
    because of their very strict definitions of
    "Non-Destructive" workflow. Ans so frankly I don't
    see them using DNG more fully because of their
    definition. This is how I believe it plays out ...
    Sorry to repeat mysel, but if they could do what SilkyPix, Raw Developer and LightZone do, it would be fine.
    So although you disagreed with my prior email points
    as "untrue" I hope I've clarified. A linear DNG has
    been decoded by something, and that something is
    proprietary and therefore the resulting DNG data
    content is proprietary.
    I hope to have similarly clarified what I mean by DNG support
    Since RAW is already manipulated data (contrary to
    some belief, it is not exactly what light fell on
    what pixel but has been demosaiced at the very
    least), it makes the most sense to me to have the
    camera manufacturer perform the convert to DNG in
    camera. That way, my negative is my one, objective
    source and I can select my camera on that basis and
    make my adjustments on the same basis.
    I agree entirely. I think it is futile to hope for major camera manufacturers to initiate a move to DNG because their marketing department probably feel (wrongly) that it comoditize their cameras. So, it is the software industry that has to impose a standard, and DNG is the closest thing we have. And a standard for RAW is needed. In that respect, I find that Apple does the worst job in the photo-related software industry.
    This does not prevent me from apeciating the other qualities of Aperture, but, he entire idea being based on RAW files, not supporting them in the first place seems stupid to me.
    Cheers.

  • Can't change "Open with" for multiple files

    For some reason, all swfs on my computer won't open in the Flash player that came with Flash 9. If I select 1 swf and set it to open with the player, it will work, however, if I select multiple ones, get info and try to set them all to open in the player (or "Change All") I get a dialogue saying I don't "have privileges to change the application for these documents only. Do you want to change all similar documents to open with the application Flash Player.app?" This is rediculous because I could so this in Tiger just fine. Also, I'm the admin and i'm in MY account, so I should be able to do anything I want, right?
    Any insights? I've repaired disk permissions by the way.
    Dan P.

    This is sometimes a problem with the launchservices database. You can try the following to fix it:
    Rebuild LaunchServices Database
    For Tiger users
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Press RETURN.
    For Leopard users
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Press RETURN.
    If this isn't successful then there may be other problems involved. You can try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can install the freeware preference pane, RCDefaultApp - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - which is useful for extensive control over various file associations.

  • Custom DNG camera profiles only available for DNG files?

    I developed a custom camera profile for my Sigma DP-1, using a colorchecker chart and the DNG profile editor.
    I exported the DNG profile in the default location.
    When I open Lightroom or ACR, the new profile is not available for X3F files, only DNG files. Is this normal???

    Well, I've imported the original X3F file as well as the converted DNG file in Lightroom.
    When I develop the DNG file, my custom profile appears in the list. When I click on the X3F file, embedded*  is the only option.
    It may have to do with an incomplete support of the X3F format. I have just repeated the exercise for my D300, and in this case the custom profile is available for NEF files.
    Too bad since I'm happy with some of the Adobe camera profiles for the D300, but less so with the default look for Sigma DP-1 files.
    I guess I should file a bug report...
    * or "matrix" or whatever is the term in the english version, I have the french version which says "incorporé"

  • Is it possible to change drive letters for library files

    Without having to delete and re-add everything? It would be very nice for all my playlists and my iPod and playcounts and whatnot if this were possible.
    If not, what is the easiest way to getting all your music with a new drive letter and managing to keep all playlists and whatnot.
    I ask because I'd like to be able to access my music on multiple computers but the drive letter D:\ associated with the library is taken on most systems I go on (and on many cannot be changed for various reasons)

    To be portable the iTunes library and it's assoicated files should be kept together in one folder, with all the media being in held a designated subfolder. iTunes for Windows normally creates the main iTunes folder at <profile>\<documents>\<music>\iTunes. Inside iTunes should be the sub-folders *Album Artwork*, *iTunes Music* and typically *iPod Games*. From iTunes 8.0 the iTunes folder will usually contain the following library files:
    *iTunes Library.itl*
    *iTunes Library.xml*
    *iTunes Library Extras.itl*
    *iTunes Library Genius.itl*
    sentinel
    If you rename or move the main iTunes folder as a whole, then hold SHIFT while opening iTunes (which gives an option to create a new library or open an existing one), then browse to the new location of the *iTunes Library.itl* file, iTunes will open the library, work out the new locations of any files stored in or below *iTunes\iTunes Music* and place new rips or downloads in the correct relative location. If such a library is put on a portable drive, the drive can be connected to multiple computers, each running the same version of iTunes, and the library can be accessed with iTunes irrespective of which drive letter is assigned by each machine.
    As far as I can tell you were taking an existing library, changing the location for files to a new target, consolidating to that new location and then moving the itl files. While this would appear to be the advice given I'm not sure it is as simple or effective as just moving the whole folder.

  • ITunes cannot change video kind for multiple files

    i put many video files to library, and then i want to change each video kind into music video, but unfortunately i can't find an easy to change those files at once.
    i have to change them one by one.
    my question is: is it possible to change "video kind" of many files at itunes library at once? how?
    thx

    No, it's not possible to batch-edit the fields on the Video tab. This seems like an outright oversight and will probably be corrected in a future version soon. What's worse, after you take the time to change the Video settings on your files one at a time, iTunes won't bother saving all the changes in the file itself. The Video Kind setting will change to the default "Movie" when the file is removed and added back to the library. For instance, all the "TV Show" files you back up to disk become "Movie" when added back to the library later. You have to edit the Video tab one by one again! It's maddening.

  • Change default app for DAT files as the su

    Hey
    I do a lot of work in the terminal and it's sometimes convenient to be "su" permanentely instead of login in and out of the root account. The problem is whenever I try to open a DAT file, it tries to open it with, of all the apps in my Mac, HP Photosmart or something like that -.-
    I've done the "cmd+i -> change all" several times now and it only worked for the non-root user...
    Does anyone know how to change the deafult app for DAT files as the su (maybe the command line(s) for doing so)??
    It's not like it's a life or death thing, it's just that it's a bit annoying having to constantly write "-a Microsoft\ Excel" whenever I want to open such a file (which can be several dozens of times in an afternoon and since the names of the files may change it won't suffice to 'arrow up' to the line previously used =\)
    Much appreciated

    I'll try that, thanks
    I sometimes need it 'cause of permission issues of the files...
    (E.g.,  Some file is sent to me or I'm logged as su to install something using ports and compile/run programs and the output files generated are only readable/editable as su... As I said, it's not a life/death thing, just wanted to know if anyone knew how to fix it once and for all )
    I'll post the result as soon as I've tried the proposed solution

  • Change default directory for Creative files (such as Media Databa

    I'm using a Zen xtra with WinXP Pro on my company laptop. The Creative software puts a lot of files (7 MB!) in my user profile under Document and Settings. Unfortunately, this is making my profile larger than my company allows, since they back up the profile over the network.
    How can I change the default directory for these file? I can't find any .ini files that might declare the path, and I can't find anything in the Windows Registry that points to my profile.
    Help please?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Thanks for the suggestion of deleting the JetFileBackup folder, Micromouse. I'll try it.
    Any other files look deletable? Without any way to move them, I may have to try deleting some and see what happens.
    I'm not even sure which Creative programs can be uninstalled (other than Nomad Explorer) and still be able to use MediaSource to play songs from my Zen Xtra (through a USB connection). Windows Add/Remove Programs says that I've used all of these programs today:
    Creative Jukebox Driver
    Creative MediaSource
    Creative MediaSource AudioSync Plugin
    Creative MediaSource NOMAD Jukebox 2/3/Zen Plugin
    Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra
    But all I've done is open MediaSource and start a playlist from my Zen Xtra. Anybody know which of those can be uninstalled without affecting my use? (Maybe this deserves a separate topic.)
