DNG exports in PL9

[s5urf (Stuart)]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have just upgraded from PL6 to PL9. Previously when exporting as DNG to LRC, all corrections were available as an option. Now there is no option - just a simple export process with no optionality. A DNG export does not pick up all corrections, whereas a tiff export does. How can I set DNG to pick up all corrections so a DNG is the same as a tiff?

Look here:

I need the DNG export option back how it was working in v.9.5!

Help! I can’t export my Light changes to non-compressed DNG! It worked in the previous version! I know the limitation with the new High-Fidelity compression what can be exported. But even No Compression does not keep my Exposure correction, etc!!! (Verified on two different Macs) How can I get the previous dmg-file (v.9.6). I did not keep the last one… Could not even imagine that this would break like this.

Unfortunately, in PhotoLab 9 the export to DNG with all corrections feature is no longer available. You can only export to DNG with optical corrections and the DeepPRIME noise reduction variants. The optical corrections includes Vignetting, Chromatic aberration, Lens distortion, and Lens sharpness (now called Lens softness). A number of users are upset about this because they were using the all corrections export to DNG regularly in their workflow.

Thanks. I can use tiffs so not the end of the world but it is a bit disappointing/irritating

DNG export does not apply the edits, only the noise and lens corrections. To export with all the edits without loss of image editability you will need to use TIFF 16-bit, which are much larger files but include all the details.

It’s a real shame as my workshops used to be DXO prime to output dng, with all corrections and exposure changes to Luminar Neo. Neo treats dng files as rare files meaning i could still change the exposure and white balance etc.

Exporting TIFFS is not the same in NEO, the exposure and colour balance is baked, meaning i may as well export a jpeg. It’s a little thing but it is annoying having my workflow changed like this.
