Exporting to Lightroom from PL10

Just having a play with exporting to Lightroom from PL10 - I do most of my processing in Lightroom at the moment but am tempted to use PL10 for certain things that are not available in Lightroom (eg depth mask). Usually I will process files through Pure Raw 6 and process in Lightroom but if I could export from PL10 that would be useful. I assumed that because there is an option to export without corrections if I selected any of the other options the adjustments made in PL10 would appear in the file imported into Lightroom. To test this I converted an image to black and white in PL10 and then exported it to Lightroom 2 ways - one as a non compressed DNG and one as a compressed DNG. Disappointingly neither image appeared in Lightroom in Black and white suggesting that the corrections are not imported to Lightroom.

Am I missing something?

DNG exports only export things like lens correction and RAW denoise and basically behaves like PureRaw.

If you want to export all other corrections made in PL then export as 16bit TIFF.

I was a longtime Lightroom user and moved to PL1 and never looked back. The only thing I sometimes miss is the DAM that Lightroom has which is vastly superior to PL.

Thanks for the help Keith! Shame - would have preferred to export the raw file to LRC with some adjustments - hey ho
