Why are my huge DNG files?

My DNG files vary from approximately 46 Mb 66 Mb. I noticed other people have much smaller files. No idea why? Can I reduce the size of file DNG?

I don't convert to DNG format very often. Most of the time, I prefer to work with the original raw files. If my comments may not be 100% reliable. The size of the DNG files can vary depending on the options you choose. For example, including the quick loading data seems to slightly increase the size of the file. And, you embed the original raw file? Which can affect the size of the file as well. So, how do you set up your options?

  • 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!

  • Why are all my folders/files in the same display format? Win. 7

    A few days ago I had some folders/files in the "Détails" view, then I could get into this folder and the files/folders would be to "large icons". For some reason, all my folders/files turned to mode «Détails» If I changed the view of the "Large icons" folder, it would change just return to the 'Details' when I returned to the folder. I changed it if all folders/files are now to "Large icons", but it was so much easier having separate folders contain separate views. How can I return it to that?

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium.

    This article basically talks about about how take a point of view and copy to other folders, but it also explains how to do the opposite.  This also explains why the libraries do not allow this (which means that you can never have seen separate if you go to a library).

  • Why are my RMAN backup files still around?

    Environment:

    Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 64 bit

    Good morning (at least it's morning here at the moment),

    I have a test database that I have currently configured to do an incremental backup of level 0, every morning at about 03:00.

    I also do one "archivelog backup all" every 4 hours during the day.

    My archivelog deletion policy is "saved 2 times".

    I put RMAN in place with a 8 day recovery window (ALL - see below).

    I have multiple RMAN files dated 11 days ago.

    Question: Why these files are still around?

    I use the "DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE' after each database and backup archivelog. Here is my command file 0 extra strength:
    backup incremental level 0 cumulative database tag 'full_db';
    backup archivelog all not backed up 2 times tag 'full_arch';
    DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
    I know I can manually remove the files and everything with a resync OVERLAP but I was trying to understand why it happened in the first place.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Please let me know if you need more information.

    Thank you very much!!

    Hmm

    Perhaps, I see your logic.

    I post a thread as an editing tool that explains better than any I've seen.

    Give him a look and see if the answer isn't here.

  • When searching from a finder window, why are there no visible file path bar? Is where you enter something in the search engine.

    When searching for a finder window why don't the path bar of file at the bottom of the window disappears. Y at - it anyway to stay visible.

    Of course, I would like to know where the file or folder is where spotlight shows its conclusions. Is there a preference I need to change to make the default action to be one in which the path to the file still appears at the bottom of the finder window?

    Sorry, I discovered my problem. I didn't have a file selected in the list. As soon as I made the path to the file appears. Duh!

  • Why are some of my file names have black fonts and some in the same folder have blue fonts?

    In the same folder, some of my file names appear suddenly in blue font and others in black letters. What is the meaning of the different colored fonts?

    Open Windows Explorer.  Click Tools > folders and select the view tab.  Scroll down to "Display encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" selected?  Change the display of the Explorer WIndows if you change this option?  Generally, the encrypted files are shown in green and compressed files (i.e. zip files) are indicated in blue, while the normal files are represented in black.  They can also be colored differently if they are on a different partition or files have been created while the computer is connected to a different domain.

  • Why are there two program files on my new Dell with Windows 7 Prof? Program Files and program (x 86)?

    Is there a difference?  What type of programs are each?

    This means that the 64 bit version of Windows 7 is installed on your Dell PC. 64-bit Windows 7 can also run applications 32 bits (certainly not 16-bit!). When programs are installed, 64-bit programs will install under the "Program Files" folder while 32-bit programs will install in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder I hope this explains. samc1

  • Why are my CS2 bigger files?

    Whenever I save a file, InDesign CS2, it expands.  I noticed that I can clear each page and the point and save a file, and it is even greater.  The only way to reduce its size is to save it under a different name.  What is going on?  Is there any preference which can stop this?

    Save as it is the only way to do it.

  • CS4 converted dng files accepted only with the manual lenses and not auto lenses

    I have cs4 and a sony ilce7rm2 camera.  With manual lenses on the camera, my .arw files are converted to dng files using latest Adobe dng converter.  I open the dng file in photoshop cs4 without problem.  Well... unless I put an auto lens on my camera and take a raw picture, then convert it to the format dng, photoshop do not recognize!  What is going on?  The arw is converted to DNG as before... what the auto lens info says the program to not recognize?  Can I disable this prejudicial information coming from the lens?

    Hear you converted dng files are not open in photoshop cs4 or photoshop cs4 is not just specify what lens was used?

    You have the 5.7 camera raw for photoshop cs4 plugin?

    Have you tried to change the compatibility preferences in the converter dng to something like Camera Raw 5.4 and later?

  • Why is - my iMovie library file so HUGE?

    Hello! I'll start making videos of youtube, and I am their editing in iMovie. However, the library files are so great! Difficult to deal with the space. I'm editing a video 23 GB and now the library file to a video is close to 400 GB. How can it be that is great? I have some files of different libraries, I am still getting used to the use of imovie and straighten them all into one soon, when I get a bigger hard drive. How and why is a library of files almost 400 GB right? There are definitley only a project in this imovie library. hen I select "display the contents of the package", it is only 1 file for the project I'm working on that. No indication on what would be a massive help here. Thank you very much!!

    What is your project? What are the specifications of your imported 23GB clip? Looks like it's maybe 1080 p or 4 k video.   This encoder is used? iMovie sets project properties based on the first clip placed on the timeline, so if your video is a long GOP Encoder then editing in iMovie will be large as well. Some users use a separate library for each project so no need to combine projects into a library.
