Lightroom edit my .dng files. Why?

• Why LIGHTROOM changes the DNG files on it s own?

  I noticed this quite a while and it s annoying as hell when you have an automated backup process.

  LR regularly DNG files... and LR changing again and again DNG files.

  This means that files that are modified yesterday are perhaps changed again today.

  I've noticed this with all versions of LR4.x and also LR5.

  so I just create a catalog from TEST to test.

  I Don t change anything on this catalogue of test images.

  all I do is open the catalog and browse the files and allow the LR open and idle for some time.

  and guess what... my DNG (and only the DNG files) files are constantly changed for no apparent reason.

  to check what has changed in the DNG files I use exiftool and this is the result:

  new file:

  InstanceID xmp.iid:c0474916-c24c-2448-b42c-522076f5a25d

  old file:

  InstanceID xmp.iid:2e88ce2a-2e5a-b34d-a85b-2af2ab3494da

  I also did a comparison hexagonal just now on these modified files:

  http://i.imgur.com/FAaZz.jpg

  Another example:

  http://i.imgur.com/vzMbS.jpg

  I have the function "automatically write changes to the XMP" lit.

  but when I Don t change anything... There is nothing to write in the files... right?

  Once again to do this 100% clear...

  DNG files are in the LR catalog for months or years (not in the test catalog but my catalog of actual work).

  DNG files are not affected by me (no changes are made in the LR modules, no new keywords or metadata changes etc.).

  only what I posted above is changed in DNG files.

  Does any other file formats (JPG, PSD, TIFF) in my catalog.

  I don't use DNG files with any software then LR. I have not the same seen in another program.

  PS: of course, I wrote about it in adobe... but as usual, nothing happens.

  even with regard to my graphic problems... I send a sample file of adobe... they write in return that the mistake could be reproduced... and 5 point later the error is always in LR.

  I do not use the DNG file format, but tried a test DNG file and could not resume this problem on my 64 bit Windows 7 using LR4.4.1 System. I checked the InstanceID by using EXIFToolGUI and he only changed when you do a CTRL + S save metadata in the file. Simply navigate the image in the library module or develop as well as other images in the same folder has NOT caused the InstanceID to change. I also did a search on 'DNG write metadata' in the Photoshop family forum and only found this post regarding the behavior of CTRL + S with DNG files:

  http://feedback.Photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/only_write_metadata_if_out_of_date

  If what you say is true, I believe there are many posts complaining about the issue. I have no doubt this problem, but logically it should happen only if somehow a CTRL + S or ' save metadata to File command is get called.

  Maybe send a file and we can test it on our systems. Please provide some details on the procedures of LR you use that causes the InstanceID to change with this file. Do not assume that we understand what you are doing!

• Is it possible to edit a DNG file in Photoshop and back to Lightroom?

  Hello

  The title of the question probably explains well what I'm looking for...

  I shot in RAW and then converted to DNG, I love DNG and I do not understand what so many people have against it, in any case that is not the point...

  I know have as my digital negative DNG format instead of the original RAW file, and I'm starting to make some changes in Lightroom. But then I realized that Lightroom is not enough for something I want to do. For example, just today I got this photo that I needed to remove some people and I had to use clone/heal but as you know, Lightroom clone and heal features are not as flexible as those in Photoshop.

  So now, I need to go into Photoshop, photo trouble and back to Lightroom and continue my editing. However, I couldn't find a way to do it how I wanted to do... What I did open up the original (unreleased) DNG in Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw is displayed and I ignore it, remove the people from the photo and save it as a TIFF. Then, back in Lightroom, I open the new TIFF edited and copy the Lightroom settings from one photo (DNG) to another (the TIFF edited).

  This workflow sucks and I know that there are a few options in Lightroom to automate it, but again, I don't think that would solve my problem. At least, I couldn't find a way to do...

  What I wanted to do instead was indeed withdraw people from the photo with Photoshop, but without these changes in DNG. But take a note here that these changes could be very destructive, I don't speak of the non-destructive editing in ACR or Lightroom, the abductees would be gone forever unless I have to draw some new. I really want to edit and save changes to the DNG format in Photoshop and keep publishing the DNG in Lightroom without using a TIFF file in the meantime, do everything in DNG format.

  Is it possible or not at all?

  Sorry, can't do... Ain t going to happen.

  What you have done is hit the wall is the fundamental difference between duty lite photo level and healing tone and color correction of the tasks (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and pixel heavy retouching in Photoshop.

  When you manipulate a lot 'pixels' you need to Photoshop and you will be forced to make the raw file as a TIFF or PSD file or by Camera Raw or better, through Lightroom.

  You can make the correction of tone and color base directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED create and save an image that is "rendered" which is no longer thought... then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in the original long side of your own Lightroom, if you choose.

  But no, there is no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with editing massive then save that réécrirait as a raw file... Ain t going to happen.

• Is it possible to integrate keywords assigned in Lightroom 4 in DNG files?

  Keywords, which I attribute to the photos in Lightroom do not appear as 'tags' when I display the properties of the photo in Windows Live Photo Gallery. Is it possible to integrate keywords assigned to the properties of the photo file in Lightroom?

  CTRL/Cmd-S will accomplish this.

• Why only edit DNG files?

  Comments have been made by some that they "only edit DNG files" and never touch the original raw images.  My question is, what is the big advantage in adopting this type of workflow?

  You do not have a sidecar XMP for each raw file.

• Can I record a Photoshop6 dng file for import back into Lightroom 4

  Can I save a Photoshop6 dng file for import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not simple.

  Hello!

  Format DNG aims to be a universal formats of files for files camera raw: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA

  You can save a DNG camera raw without problem.

  Just to go the low left corner of the interface hand and select "save image".

  (as explained in the help files here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html #WSB0DC278F-B3DF - 4a 60 - 88BC - B3D6A852C242 )

  Or you try to save a file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?

  For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a smart object (to allow a subsequent reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixels / editing of vector layers intact.

  If recording maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging and editing, if necessary.

• Photoshop "in edit...". "no longer works for my DNG files

  OK, I have read many discussions on this topic and tried all the solutions given, but the option no longer works for me because I've updated both programs.

  Currently working on:

  Mac OSX 10.11.6

  CC 2015.6.1 the Photoshop Lightroom and Camera Raw 9.6

  Photoshop CC 2015.5.1

  Photos with Cloud backup external HARD disk

  Lightroom catalog on computer

  Backup catalog Lightroom in the clouds

  Lightroom preferences for editing in Photoshop:

  File format: PSD

  Color space: ProPhoto RGB

  Bit depth: 16 bits

  Resolution: 300

  Metadata settings: automatically write changes into XMP

  Tried:

  Uninstall/install the two programs with reboots and even with uninstallation of preferences.

  Uninstalled and installed creative cloud.

  deletion of com.adobe.Photoshop.plist

  TIFF, Jpeg, opening... gives no problem. I always get the possibility to decide to open original/copy with LR adjustments/copy without LR adjustments

  Open a DNG by LR in photoshop open Photoshop, however, is no longer opens the image and so I can't save as PSD thereafter.

  It's completely dead my workflow because all my pictures are stored as RAW/DNG files

  After a chat with Adobe Support all issues have been resolved:

  Apparently, when you use an external source for your photos, this is the case for me save space on my local drive and for security and backup reasons, once I had problems seems to happen.

  The solution is quite simple: unplug the external source, import a random picture to LR by using the import function 'Add', open it in Photoshop using "change in". It worked flawlessly and subsequently when you reconnect my main source for the photo I have, I could again open DNG files in photoshop using the function "change in" LR.

  Adobe support thank you!

• DNG files appear darker after importing in Lightroom

  I just started with the demo version of Lightroom, having always managed so far with Photoshop and Bridge. There are a lot of things about Lightroom that I like, however, I am a little confused on why DNG files especially who were already resolved using the ACR in Photoshop are change appearance after having been imported into Lightroom, if I select an image, and in general, they become quite a bit more dark. With thousands of images to process I really want to be in a situation where they all need adjustment once again, so I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening?

  In both cases my chosen, work space is Adobe RGB and Lightroom do these changes if yes or no I option lets you apply adjustments to your car in development. Another folder that contains only files Tif and Jpeg derivatives does not seem to be affected in the same way.

  According to your description, it seems that the JPEG preview embedded in JPEG format is based on the image before the ACR changes *. Fortunately, it is quite easily solved in Lr, less (actually less obvious) in Camera Raw.

  In the grid view, select all images, then select Update DNG previews and metadata in the metadata. Be warned that it will probably take some time that Lr has to recreate the DNG files in the background.

  * in general, this occurs when you convert the raw unedited files originals to DNG using the DNG Converter.

• How to stop Lightroom (1.4.1 - I know it's old!) to automatically adjust my raw DNG file?

  How to stop Lightroom to automatically adjust raw DNG files?

  I use Lightroom 1.4.1 from a CS4 installation.

  I know it's old, but it works for my case, so no need to pay for an upgrade so far.
  

  I'm shooting with a Nikon Df RAW images.  And no matter if I shoot just RAW or RAW + JPEG.

  My camera creates a NEF file.

  I then use Adobe DNG Converter to convert the file to DNG.

  I then import the DNG in Lightroom.

  My Lightroom preferences include 'none' to develop the parameters when importing.

  When I view the imported file in the Panel to the POINT, there are some basic settings that have been applied.

  Temp, tinted, blacks, brightness, contrast.

  Certainly, the image is "prettier" with these adjustments, and surely I can come back to '0' settings if I want to see the image of 'RAW', but that the of is happening here and how can I have the image start with no adjustment?

  If he hit the "RESET" button, it returns it to these adjustments.  Confusing.

  Any suggestions?

  See you soon!

  Once back to zero in the development module access to the develop menu item and search for "set default settings." A click on it. That puts the default settings for this camera images to all zeros for all newly imported images. In regards to the already imported image, you could try to synchronize and or copy it to all others.

• Is it possible to import dashboard camera Samsung s7 dng files in Lightroom for mobile

  I just got a new phone the other day, Samsung s7 Edge, and he can shoot in raw, I discovered. I can see the the jpg and in file browser dng files, but when I open the Lightroom application and and try to add pictures I see only the jpg. I know I can capture images of the Lr app raw it itself, I found using the app fastest camera native.

  Found a better solution... and so far, it always works.  Always take a picture... sacrifice that will remove you the film from your phone.  After you delete the photo, the DNG should appear when you go to 'add a photo' in Lightroom Mobile.

• How can I synchronize the folder with the dng files original with the lightroom folder, where I've renamed the photos

  My drive hard extern lost all of a folder with pictures of wedding in it. I woked on the .dng files, renamed them and does in jpg format. This morning I couldn't find the folder with the original and jpg files more. So I have the original images in my backup hard drive. My question is, as I've renamed them and in the folder that I took of the backup folder, they still have the original name, I don't know how their synchronization.

  Hi gabyl,

• Hello! I am a family oriented photographer and have a bit of trouble to keep the colors of files exported between lightroom and photoshop consistent. I edited my images on 5 Lightroom and export TIFF files after ProPhoto color space

  Hello! I am a family oriented photographer and have a bit of trouble to keep the colors of files exported between lightroom and photoshop consistent. I edited my images on 5 Lightroom and export TIFF files after changing color ProPhoto RGB space. Then, I opened a picture at once and changed the settings of Photoshop CC ProPhoto RGB color (under the workspace). When I was editing on photoshop, I tried to export the image, but the colors seemed different, a bit washed out and blue, from the color of the workspace, I was on. I don't know how to solve this problem. Please notify.

  Thank you very much for this! Color sorted

• Lightroom 5.7 no display camera profiles in the DNG file

  Hello

  I just installed Adobe DNG Converter 9.0 and converted some Nikon D7200 fles to DNG for import into Lightroom 5.7. It works great except for the specific profiles of camera does not. Only the Adobe Standard is displayed.

  When I open the same DNG file in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6, [he] correctly shows all the camera for the D7200 specific profiles. What I am doing wrong?

  Here's what looks like the develop module camera menu profile in LR 5.7

  

  And in Photoshop CS6 Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) 8.7.1.311

  

  Thank you for your understanding.

  gonzalu, the reason is because the profiles are installed separately for Camera Raw vs Lightroom.

  If you use Lr 5.x, then to get the additional D7200 profiles visible in Lr, you have to manually copy/install the.  Try looking here:

  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D7200

  then copy the contents of this folder here:

  \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfilesusernameC:\Users\

  (where you should replace your real username, above).

  Then restart Lr and profiles should be visible now.

  (You don't need to perform this step if you use Lr CC, because the new profiles are included in this installation).

• Open the file in Photoshop with Lightroom edits no longer works

  I have LR5.3 and PS CS6. Given that I've updated camera Raw, my files opens as Tiff files when I want to edit in Photoshop. Therefore, any changes in LR before will not be retained. I don't see the window saying 'open in PS with Lightroom edits "? Someone had the same problem? In LR preferences, Tiff is accurate as a file to edit in PS format, but it does not work
