Profile Editor and Olympus Pen E-P2

The DNG Profile Editor don't recognize DNG Files converted from Olympus Pen E-P2 ORF files.
I have used the latest DNG converter 5.6.0.148 and the DNG files I have obtained can be open in Lightroom 3 beta. But the profile editor can't open them.
I have used the Profile editor for several Olympus cameras without any problem.

I have found a solution : I open the dng file version 5.6 with Camera raw 5.6 and I choose to save the image using and older version (4.1 for exemple).
The dng file that I obtain can then be opened with the Profile editor.
It seems that the Profile Editor must be upgraded for the new version of DNG.

  • Profile editor and LumixG1

    I am runing all my cameras throught the profile editor (1.0.0.39) beta2 as I cannot find a newer version.  The three camera I am working with are the Canon 1DS2, Cannon Rebel XS and a lumix G1.  The rebel and 1ds2 work fine but when I try to open the G1's dng file (converted from the G1 Raw) the PE tells me its not a valid DNG file.  Am I missing someting ?  At first I assuemed the camera was too new but the Rebel XS was recognized.........

    Try the software that comes with the x-rite ColorChecker Passport and see if it works any better.  It performs the same function as the DNG Profile Editor:
    http://www.xritephoto.com/ph_product_overview.aspx?ID=1257&Action=Support&SoftwareID=917
    You will need to "register" with x-rite and login.
    Alternatively, you can upload your CC G1 RAW and I'll try it in the DNG Profile Editor and/or the x-rite software.

  • Profile Editor and DNG Profiles - Still Beta 2?

    Are the DNG profiles and Profile Editor still at Beta 2? I am confused because the Adobe Labs DNG Profiles resources page (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles) has not been updated since Oct 22 2008, but Lightroom 2.2 provides non-beta profiles. What is the present status?
    Thanks.

    It has been several months since I originally posted this inquiry and Thomas replied, and so I'm just checking again.
    Has there been any update to the DNG Profile Editor since Beta 2 was made available? (and, if not, is there anything you can share about what's going on with this tool?)
    I am continuing to use Beta 2 with successful results, but I am curious as to the status...
    Thanks,

  • DNG Profile editor and white balance

    I am very happy to see the practical realization of the extentions announced in the DNG 1.2 specification. This is a great step forward to achieve wide acceptance of DNG.
    While reading the User's Guide, I found following statement (in the Tutorial 1):
    >3. (Optional) If the image is not already white-balanced, you can perform a click-WB using a context click
    Why would one white balance here? What effect does that have on the result? The profile describes, which HSV will be converted in which HSV; this has nothing to do with the WB of a particular image.

    The WB feature in the DNG Profile Editor (PE) is there because it is possible that you might open a DNG file in PE that has not already been white balanced. Imagine you photographed an image under tungsten lighting but had the in-camera WB manually set to daylight. If you didn't set the WB before converting the image to a DNG, it will appear very warm when you open it up in PE. So PE's WB feature is designed to save you time by letting you do a click-WB instead of having to go back to CR or LR to adjust the image's WB.
    PE is named "profile editor" because it only edits profiles. It is not an image editor. So you are correct, you do not really need an image to edit profiles, technically. However, unless you have an image open you have no way to evaluate how good your adjustments are.
    Typically the only reason to make a profile or edit a profile is if there's something about an existing profile that you're unhappy with. And you'd be unhappy because you'd have an example of a "problem" image, where the existing profile doesn't produce the result you want. That's the image you want to bring into the PE, so you can pick out the colors that are "wrong" and fix them.
    Then ideally you would open many more images in PE just to verify that your adjustments generalize well.

  • Right steps to use DNG Profile Editor and ACR

    What is the right sequence of steps to do to use properly DNG PE and ACR ?
    Must be converted the RAW in DNG directly, without open the RAW in ACR ?
    Must be opened the RAW file in ACR, reset the ACR values to zero and then convert the RAW in DNG format ?
    Must be converted the RAW file in DNG and then reset the ACR values before apply the camera recipe created ?
    thanks in advance,
    federico

    thank you Massimo,
    the procedure is clear now.
    "What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
    what i want to say is that when i open the file raw in ACR i see some colors. when i apply the profile generated by PE, i see about the sames colors. i notice that the colors are about the same without the profile (little differences i see in the darken tones but only in the ACR graphic). this with my D700. with the D200 the differences before to apply the profile and after are strong, visible.
    Grazie Massimo,
    credo sia tutto chiaro adesso anche se mi lascia perplesso il risultato finale.
    "What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
    quello che volevo dire è che con o senza profilo, praticamente l'immagine con la D700 varia di pochissimo (me ne accorgo solo leggendo il grafico in ACR). con la D200 invece, applicare un profilo ha un impatto molto evidente, le differenze sono marcate.
    grazie
    ps: your english is right. it is mine that does not work so well.

  • Questions about DNG Profile Editor recipe code

    I have been playing around with DNG Profile Editor. With a text editor I made the following recipe:
    I have some questions:
    1. Right now I have my control points at 60 saturation. Will using two points for each color (say 70 and 40) make my changes more consistent across darker and lighter shades of the specific color?
    2. Does DNG Profile editor respect HueLow and HueHigh, are they just placeholder numbers, or are they ignored if two points are close to each other?
    3. What does FeatherAdjust do? I'm guessing it controls the rate of drop off of the corrections. Is the value respected by DNG Profile editor when it creates a profile?
    Thanks for your time and attention,     -Bruce.

    3. Use the 'Preview Color Changes' option in the Options menu.
    4. You can use 'Apply Raw Adjustments' in the Options menu to see your raw adjustments. This is __not__ recommended for building a general-purpose profile because you are then optimizing a profile with specific image adjustments in mind, rather than building a profile based more on the inherent camera characteristics.
    5. True, that is a limitation of this implementation.
    6. I am not sure what you mean. The Chart Wizard automatically optimizes the color patches in a test shot based on reference values for many physical charts, which is more practically useful than the numbers printed on the reference card that comes with the chart.
    7. Make sure you avoid color casts in the bottom row. The PE is picky about making sure your gray patches are relatively neutral. It is an attempt to help you get a better profile.
    8. Use 'Show Affected Colors' from the Options menu.

  • Camera Calibration in ACR & DNG Profile Editor

    I am having the hardest time figuring out how to use the camera profiles  generated with DNG Profile Editor in Camera Raw.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 in Windows 7. I have generated the .dcp file  with DNG Profile Editor and saved it in the folder: Program  Files/Adobe/Photoshop CS4/Presets/Camera Profiles.
    This is about as far as I've gotten. I have not been able use this  profile in ACR under the Camera Calibration Tab. I have been lead to  believe that is would show up automatically. I have not found any video  tutorials related to ACR and installing Camera Profiles. They all seem  to relate to Lightroom.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you would like to look or copy profiles manually (for example you have received a profile made by someone else; for Windows7 you should be able to see where the Profiles are stored by searching for *.dcp (meaning any file with the extension .dcp)
    That will show you where the Adobe supplied profiles are located. You can copy your custom profiles to the sub-folder of your camera type in the Camera folder.The other folder you see is where the Adobe Standard profiles live.
    If you cannot see the programdata folder (and that is the case by default) you can make all hidden files visible:
    (this from Windows Help, just search for show hidden files)
    Computer>Organize>Folder and search options>View. In Advanced settings check the radio button Show hidden files, folders, and drives and then OK
    Now you should see the programdata folder visible under your system (C:) folder
    I hope that helps.

  • DNG Profile Editor "base profile" question.

    I'm profiling a Canon 5D3 with both the Adobe DNG Profile Editor and the Xrite ColorChecker software. It's been about 3 years since I last profiled a camera, so I'm re-doing the learning curve. My question now is how and why the DNG Profile editor depends on a "base profile?" Specifically, why does the DNG PE Chart Wizard generate different results depending on what base profile is used.
    I see in the documentation that "all color adjustments made in the DNG Profile Editor are defined relative to a base profile." I understand that logic when making a custom profile via manual tweaks. You have to have a starting point. But I don't understand that logic when using the Chart Wizard. I expected the Chart Wizard to arrive at the same pre-defined target point regardless of the starting point. It does not seem to do that.
    I discovered the difference by using an apparently bad workflow. I shot my colorchecker chart, converted the CR2 to DNG and brought it into Photoshop via ACR to inspect. That stored "Adobe Standard" as the base profile in the DNG.
    Then I fed this DNG to the DNG PE Chart Wizard and generated a profile. I opened the image in ACR and applied "My Profile", which became the base profile in the DNG file. I thought I did something wrong, so I ran the same DNG through the Chart Wizard again and generated "My Second Profile." That version looked very strange, so I did it again and made "My Third Profile."
    Now I have three profiles. My First Profile was made from Adobe Standard base. My Second Profile was made from My First Profile base. My Third Profile was made from My Second Profile base. Each iteration becomes more strange (bad), so this is clearly not the proper workflow. But what is? What base profile should be selected for Chart Wizard and why does it matter?
    Being curious, I did the same exercise using the Xrite ColorChecker software. That software generates the same result, regardless of what base profile is stored in the DNG files. I'm not sure I like the results, but at least they are consistent.

    DNG Profile Editor lets you define color edits (in the first tab) using a set of color control points.  These control points in turn define a color lookup table used to perform the color correction when processing a (raw) image.
    When you use a Base Profile, the resulting color table in the final profile is a combination of the base profile's color table, plus the color table defined by any edits that you've added in the first tab (using the Chart Wizard counts as adding edits to that first tab).
    The reason you can get different and less smooth results if you apply the Chart Wizard iteratively is because you are applying lookup table after lookup table.  The current color table-building method used by DNG PE has some limitations regarding smoothness of color profiles if two color control points are placed too closely (this can happen with the Chart Wizard, or if you specify two points manually that are close to each other).  These problems can become more noticeable if you apply the DNG PE iteratively.

  • Converting LUTs to Camera Profiles in the DNG Profile Editor

    Hi,
    I've just started using the DNG Profile Editor, and can't seem to get the process right.
    I have some film LUTs that I'd like to convert to camera profiles for my 5D Mk II.
    Here's how I'm trying to do it, maybe someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    This is what I tried first:
    1. Take a Color Chart into Photoshop, apply the LUT via Color Lookup adjustment layer.
    2. Save out as 16bit TIFF
    3. Open as Camera Raw, then save out as DNG
    4. Open the adjusted color chart into DNG Profile Editor, run it through the color chart section to create a recipe of color adjustments.
    5. Export out as Camera Profile
    But when I open up a 5D image in Lightroom, the profile doesn't show up in the list, so I realised maybe it needs to be saved specifically as a 5D profile, but I can't figure out how.
    If I:
    1. Do steps 1-4 as above
    2. Open a 5D DNG file so that I can set a 5D profile as the base profile
    3. Load the recipe
    The color adjustments appear on the color wheel, but nothing happens to the 5D image, no colour change at all.
    Exporting it (which does say 'Export as 5D profile') does then give me a profile that shows up in Lightroom, but it doesn't do anything to the image...
    What's the correct way of doing this?
    Thanks!
    S

    I don’t know claim to know anything about the internals of DNG Camera Profiles, but I’m pretty sure you cannot take a RGB-file (TIF/JPG) DNG and make a raw-file DNG Profile for use with your camera raws, which sounds like what you’re trying to do.
    Despite looking like it might work in DNGPE, starting with an RGB-file recipe (rather than a RAW-file recipe) will only lock the specific colors on the color wheel, rather than create a raw-capable camera profile.

  • Adobe DNG Profile Editor

    Has there been any update to this beyond that in 2008 found on Adobe Labs? (I want to try using it to calibrate ACR for my camera with a shot of a MacBeth Color Chart.)
    To be more precise about this, I currently use ACR Calibrator to calibrate ACR for my Canon 1Ds II. I now see there is beta 3 of Adobe DNG Profile Editor but note that it utilises a small subset of the GMB Digital Colorchecker SG target chart.
    ACR Calibrator seems to produce quite different results from Adobe DNG Profile Editor.  I have followed the steps below when using the latter.
    Download DNG Profile Editor and drag to Applications
    Launch Photoshop and open the raw file of your macbeth target.
    In camera raw, place all settings to zero, curve to linear and turn off any sharpening etc. Click Save Image, choose dng as the file format and save it.
    Launch DNG Profile Editor.
    File / Open DNG File and choose the dng file you saved previously.
    Select the chart tab in DNG Profile Editor.
    Move the colored circles to the center of the matching colored corner square in your raw file
    Click Create Color Table.
    Choose File/Export <Camera> profile...  Give it a name and save.
    Exit DNG Profile Editor.
    Re-launch photoshop and open a raw file.  In Camera Raw, on the calibration tab, you should now see the profile you just saved.

    I don't know of any other references or CC Passport numbers other than what Google can come up with.  Babelcolor has some standard-deviation of spectrum numbers for a sampling of 20 charts done in 2006 and also some worst-color vs average-color visual comparisons to get an idea of how variable charts or at least their measurements can be.  Somewhere it says the me4asurements were done of the standard and also the minichart, mixed together, I assume.  I don't know if there is a list of the raw data or not.
    To understand the source of the variation you really need to see multiple measurements with the same instrument, with different instruments, and of different charts from different manufacturing runs and different ages and measured in different temperatures and humidities, otherwise it's not easy to say whether the variations we're seeing between the CC standard and the CC passport in the article are within the normal variations or not or if they represent a significant difference not explained by normal variations.
    Yes, I know the Babelcolor data and I have already included them in the study.
    Obviously I do not have the opportunity to have the information to get an overview of the real things, but by analyzing various measurements I saw that Myers had to be the closest to official data of the CC Passport and instead is the more distant. Hence my doubts about the measurement.
    Thanks anyway.

  • DNG Profile Editor - questions about

    0) Thank to Eric Chan for your work on this. Until now I used the Camera Calibration process through Photoshop and Camera Calibration table. But I see this as a big progress.
    1) Will it stay only DNG editor or it will be also for raw pictures without a necessity to convert them to dng?
    2) Will it be only stand alone aplication or as well a part of the LR?
    3) Now I can switched off and on one color change (by the left mark in the Color List Box). Could it be possible to switch off and on the whole Color List Box to see all done changes?
    4) I have red your comment that this tool doesn't work with lightness, only hue and saturation. But if I want to work on a specific picture (i.e. a man wearing a red sweater), it will be fine to have it in the brightness close to an end picture. Will it be possible to open a picture not only with WB, but also with exposure, blacks and other basic development setting?
    5) Under the eye drop tool, I can see numbers of "initial" or "starting" color. But I can't see the numbers of changed color. It would be fine if I know the new numbers to see how close I am to them. It would be fine if the number over the color List Box will be also for starting color and also for end colors.
    And one little proposal: if the color will not change, show in Color List Box only the starting (left) half of a color. Than I can simply see that I didn't set a new color or the color stay exactly the same (it is only a question if exactly the same or very close to the same).
    6) It could be, that I will not use the exact color checker table for what you did process on the tab Chart. But many of color checker are delivered with exact numbers and picture on a cd, so it will be fine if I could open this "master" picture of a checker producer in a right panel under the Color List Box and simply take from it the end colors. First go to the main picture on left, choose the "initial color" and then simply go to this "master" picture in right and take the "end color". What do you think about this?
    7) If I work on the tab Chart, I get the error window "not neutral gray patches, row 4 culumn 1". But if I move the circle to row 4 culumn 2 it works fine. Is there any difference or problem?
    8) And last: how far is acting the shift of color. It will not work only for the one color but close surroundings will be also efeccted. How smal or large is the surroundings? E.g. if we take 360 degres for hue.

  • Tracking Profile Editor - Continuation with a Call orchestration with Scope

    Hi,
    I am tracking data using Tracking profile editor and trying to use continuation.
    Orchestration2 is being called from Orchestration1 and the data I am tracking from Orchestration1 and Orchestration2 should be in the same row of the Activity table.
    Because of the Scope in Orchestration2, I am not able to have a ContinuationID from Orchestration2.
    Can someone tell me if you are able to track data from Calling and Called orchestrations in a single BAM Activity table row?

    Hi,
    Try one or both of the following:
    Use the BAM API and custom code to track the data.
    Rewrite and simplify the complex orchestrations. For example, use a non-transactional Scope shape instead of the Group shape or wrap a While shape
    in a non-transactional Scope shape.
    Refer the MSDN for details.

  • Lightroom 5 camera profiles and Olympus EP 5

    hI I'm fairly new to LR and trying to get different camera options besides ADOBE STANDARD in the camera calibration / develop module...
    I would particularly like to get the camera profile for the Olympus EP-5 which I understand is supported by the latest  DNG converter.
    Problem is I've downloaded it but still ONLY get ADOBE STANDARD.  I've converted some RAW images into DNG's, but still no camera profiles...
    I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be using the DNG converter, or if I need it at all in order to see the different camera profiles...?
    Looking forward to some advice on this, since I've found info on this to be very scanty... even tech support was not helpful...
    thx!

    Where are you getting the impression that Olympus cameras have other camera profiles?
    Mostly only Nikon and Canon DSLRs have more camera profiles than Adobe Standard.  I have installed up through LR 5.2 RC and ACR 8.2 RC and DNGC 8.2 RC and there are only Canon (50), Leica (1), Nikon (42), Pentax (4), and Sony (15) camera-matching profiles.  Nothing for Olympus other than Adobe Standard.
    You can, of course, make your own profiles using an X-Rite Color Checker and the DNG Profile Editor:
