That would be a very nice.addition. I have found that many of the SOOC jpegs I capture with my Nikon Z fc and manual focus Voigtländer lenses are already very sharp and contrasty. Some of these jpeg mages only require relatively slight tweaking and it would be nice to have a more robust NR algorithm for them. While historically I only edited raw files, I no longer feel the need to do so for at least 10-15% of my images captured in good light. This camera is my first Nikon and I’m blown away with the quality straight out of camera, especially with these wonderful Voigtländer lenses.
Basically PL only has partial DNG support. So it is missleading marketing to say if “suipports DNG” It only supports a DNG ig that DNG was produced by a camera PL supports,. So it does NOT “support DNG produced by Lightroom or Adobe’s DNG convereter”*.
This isn’t correct. PL will support a dng produced by Adobe DNG converter, I am not sure about Lightroom as I don’t have a recent version of Lightroom. Raw files from my Sony RX-100iii converted to dng using Adobe DNG coverter work just the same as the original ARW files.
Having said that, PL DNG support is very much lacking as has been discussed in this forum many times. It is really a shame that if I use Adobe DNG coverter to convert my Canon EOS R raw files to dng the lens sharpness slider is not available. DXO knows about this issue and have said it would be corrected in a future update of Version 6. So, I am waiting patiently.
your statement “PL will support a dng produced by Adobe DNG converter” is only correct if the generated DNG by Adobe DNG converter includes data by a camera which is supported by DXO.
If not, you got a message that the dng file could not be developed because the camera is not supported by DXO. The same file can be opened with Affinity photo and each other software I own.
For me this is not a real DNG support.
You are not correct at all. PL will support SOME DNG’s produced by Adobe DNG converter but not most of them. That is a fact as I have Adobe DNG converter and have tried it…
I stand corrected. I knew the part about the dng file having to be created from a raw file supported by DXO, but failed to include that important bit of info in my statement.
As I stated above in my reply to Guenterm’s very kind post, I left out an important fact of which I was aware, that the Adobe DNG converter generated dng has to be a conversion of a DXO supported raw file which is supported by DXO.
That is a fact as I also have Adobe DNG converter and have tried it…
I apologize if my post angered you or offended you in some way. I will try to prevent if from happening in the future.
I hope you have a day that is just as nice as you are.
Well said. It’s not real DNG support. It’s kind of pointless to have the conversion if it still snags on the camera.
Do you by any chance know of a free app that will support the GoPro GPR format? I don’t want to have to buy Lightroom just for that.
I came across that earlier while searching for a solution. It doesn’t work for PhotoLab. PhotoLab still recognises that the resulting DNG file is from a camera it doesn’t support and refuses to open the DNG giving you an error message to that effect.
Thank anyway!
That’s correct…Darktable is listed in one of the articles linked within the basic article.
You can find a roundup of free options here.
I think it would be the fastest solution to install, test and report here for all other GPR fans.
