I’ve just upgraded to PureRAW 2 and I’m now using the LR plugin and I’ve got a couple of questions.
When I export to PureRAW 2 from LR, do I need to make sure that nothing is being applied in the Detail and Lens Corrections section? Or does PureRAW 2 know to ignore these and not duplicate that processing? I see these sections are blank when the dng is produced but I wanted to double-check.
With my workflow I import images into LR and do minimal processing - like I make a few tweaks in the Tone section to help evaluate the image. Do I need to reset those before exporting to PureRAW 2? In the past I just dragged the raw file into PureRaw outside of LR - but now that I’m exporting again from within LR I just wanted to double-check.
PureRaw does not take Lightroom’s corrections into account, it works directly with the unprocessed raw files. To launch PureRaw from LrC, you have to use the module options:
Note: Images processed by DPR turn up without further ado. They are also shown in a separate collection. DPR creates a new collection with every job. After a few runs, the list of collections can get quite long (and annoying), but the collections or the surrounding folder can be deleted at any time. Deleting a collection does not delete the images within.
I was having success with the auto import process (it was taking a while for them to show, but I understand that’s just LR being LR), but now it seems to not work at all. I assume this error is related, are there any suggestions on fixing it?
Thanks
I removed the plugins and reinstalled them as your suggested. It worked the first export/import. Second time - three hours later, photos not in LR, no collection added. The files have been processed, I can go find them in the allocated folder. They’re just not being imported.
In those few hours I was using LR and editing other photos, and then watching tv. However, I noticed today (after a couple of restarts) the plugin seems to be working again. The LR import is still rather slow and lagging, but generally within a few minutes of DxO finishing the processing, rather than hours.
Similar to what I’ve been doing (and was doing on the previous version of the software). I just let it spit them out to a folder and synchronise the folder after it’s done, rather than relying on and waiting for the auto import.
Roundtrip from Lightroom Classic (current version)
after processing has stopped in DPR, Lightroom sees the first image after about 15 seconds and further images are added 1 image per second.
My current experience is, that Lightroom Classic shows the first returned image after <2 minutes and from then on, one image per 6-7 seconds with DeepPrime - under macOS 11.6.5 on iMac 2019.

There is quite a discrepancy between what is shown by DPR’s progress bar and Lightroom’s Collections. The difference of 18 images corresponds to something like 2 minutes, consistent with the initial delay I noticed. What is keeping those output files from showing up in LrC?
I run into the same trouble. My fix is using Jeffrey Freidl’s Folder-Watch Lightroom Plugin (Jeffrey Friedl’s Blog » Jeffrey’s “Folder Watch” Lightroom Plugin). There are a lot of possibilities to configure it and when done right it works like a charm.
That’s my solution after the DxO Support told me it’s not a bug, it’s depending on the size of your LR-catalog …
