Why only edit DNG files?

• 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!

• How to import multiple DNG files in first

  I want to import several files from a blackmagic 2.5 K camera raw DNG. Each clip is saved in a separate file:

  

  I can import each clip separately by selecting the folder and clicking on a DNG file, but - for obvious practical reasons - I would import all planes at once. However, when I try to do, first does not matter the clips. Instead, it is important each folder and inside them, there is not a single element, but also many clips as files DNG aggravated this particular clip. In other words, if the clip had files DNG CENT ONE, first matter this clip ONE HUNDRED times, not once:

  

  In this image, each file contains the INTEGER, not only a DNG file clip. Is there a solution for this? Otherwise, the DNG files must be imported one by one, which of course makes the workflow much more difficult.

  Hi @Softananda, I have the same problem as you, but I managed to find a more temporary solution which is perhaps useful for you or other users.

  You can go into the folder where all your rushes are and simply search for all files that subfolders ending with 00000.dng

  This way, you will have all the dng files first of each sequence, and you can move directly to your media in the first pool, where they appear as unique sequences of all your dng files.

  For me, it works like a charm.

  I hope it's useful for someone.

• Are fixtures in the DNG files reviewed metadata

  I just experienced an unusual event. I use lightroom 5.2 on windows 7. I've been using lightroom since the original beta version.

  I just finished hours to edit DNG files. I selected all the thumbnails and trained to a collection. I noticed that after by sliding down as all the thumbnails showed the icon there is a conflict in the metadata. I selected all the thumbnails and reset the metadata. I lost all my changes.

  Unfortunately, I had not yet recorded a new catalog.

  Is there a way to retrieve my changes?

  Jim :-(

  Jim,

  You * must * see "Of Metadata" - you? - what usually shows when you read disk metadata in the catalog. You * don't * see the other two steps, because this is just what happened to be the last two steps, I made for the picture before reading the metadata. Have you tried clicking on the second to the last stage of the story and then the who..., to see if you can understand what stage returns your photos to the desired state, before the Oops?

  On the other hand, if you have a previous Catalog/backup, you can resort to without losing too much, well, that's what backups are for.

• Lightroom edit my .dng files. Why?

  Hello!

  First, excuse my bad English, I'll do better than I can.

  I just noticed that my backup software backup images edited in Lightroom. Indeed, the files has been changed: md5sum changed. However, If I open this .dng file outside of Lightroom, I can see thatthe image itself is always the same, the changes made in lightroom is not visible. Tit's normalLightroom is a not destructive editing tool. But what is the change in the file? It's a big problem for me, because my backup software consider that this file has changed, that's why he back it up. I thought that that only the catalogue is changed.

  Can someone help me understand?

  Thank you!

  Lightroom writes metadata (data image, such as stars, keywords and so on) in the DNG files to your application or any change when you have autowrite enabled in preferences.

  Questions 1)

  Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

  He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

  If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

  If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

  If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  

• 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!

• Is it possible to choose Import in the DNG file only?

  I couldn't get any support or contact information, so I try to get an answer to my question, as follows, from here.

  Is it possible to choose Import in the DNG file only?

  I like to keep the disk space and the ability to remove unwanted jpg copies is unnecessary work for me a lot of your time.

  Then nobody knows where to send the program errors or suggestions for improvement?

  Thanks in advance

  You can also make sure that you don't have the following "Processing JPEG files" option to raw as separate photos selected. See the screen capture.

• Filter in adobe bridge to select only the Raw files to DNG format convert

  Here's my problem - I have a new camera DMC TZ70 and 5.7 Lightroom does not recognize the. RW2 files. I would need to buy LR6! Maybe later.

  So I thought that I import via the bridge and convert to DNG.

  So I open the bridge, and then select the camera - great - BUT there are files for Raw, the same number of JPEG files images and some .bdm. TDT etc files. (for example 3 raw + 7 others).

  I can set up a filter to Show only Raw files when I see what files are in the folder of the card at the Bridge, but when I select "get photos from camera" I can either select all OR deselect and then I need to MANUALLY select raw files. There seems not to be a way to set up a filter in the form of Downloader so that bridge selects only the Raw files for conversion.

  If I left it all, Bridge Converts the RW2 in DNG files, but also provides in the JPGs and other files. I can delete these later, but this seems an inefficient way to do it.

  Is it possible to manually select raw files in the form of Photo Downloader?

  Advice please, thank you, Mel

  I guess the answer's bridge doesn't do what I want, but not Lightroom - bought LR6

• My bridge update 5.2.0.4 destroyed previews of all DNG files. They only appear on the side and small and I can't open Camera Raw in Bridge. Someone else has the same problem?

  I've updated Bridge yesterday. CS6 5.2.0.4. Mac OS 10.9.5

  All previews (DNG files) to the bridge now appear on the side and only small miniature size.

  Also Camera Raw has been disabled.

  I tried cache purge for folders as all purge the cache.

  I also spent over an hour on the phone with technical support that being mainly involved switched between departments and try to understand someone on the phone.

  Can anyone help?

  I'm going to guess at the root of your problem is "also Camera Raw has been disabled."

  Can you check what version of Camera Raw, or not at all? Here is how to validate: keeping up to date of Photoshop

• 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?

• Can't see edited PSE file in lightroom... why?

  I'm editing my photos in PSE with Lightroom, but after change in PSE, I save because I'm supposed to (by clicking on the Red 'X' to save the file).  Then when I return the edited photo to LR is not sitting next to the "original" photo  I see and the file edit.psd but it does not contain my changes.  I'm changing the name of the file and to .jpeg .psd is that my problem?

  Thanks for your help, smile Sunday

  Kari

  Kari,

  You must NOT change name and/or file format during the recording of the PES after changes. LR will only recognize the file that he made before launching PES accordingly upon his return.

• When defragment us, it says we have a fragmented file, why it only shows what file, so that we remove it or clean it up?

  Is there a way to check what is fragmented and can we clean up or delete?

  * original title - something stupid we do not! When we defrag and it says we have a fragmented, file why it shows which file, so that we remove it or clean? *

  Hello

  What exactly are you trying to do?

  Disk Defragmenter groups fragmented files and folders on the hard drive of your computer, so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume as well, your system can access your files and folders and save new ones more efficiently. By consolidating your files and folders, Disk Defragmenter also consolidates free space of the volume, makes it less likely that new files will be be fragmented.
