High Lights Informations lost with DxO Pure Raw (DNG Export)

DxO PureRAW

I notice notable loss of information in the highlights after using DxO pure Raw and exporting to DNG. Is the issue supported and developers working on a solution? I don’t think I’m the only one to make this observation. Thank you for your answers.

I think it’s irresponsible to give this advice without seeing the raw file, examining its metadata and raw channels histograms, and no knowledge of further processing.

There were some problems with highlights resulting in pink or magenta casts for certain cameras (e.g. Nikon Zf) indeed, but they were fixed few months ago. In the release notes they were hidden under ‘Minor bug fixes and improvements’ (sic!). Can you provide some links of other “known” issues with highlights?

if one tries to actually search this very forum then examples will be easily found ( and from that same Zf topic too ) … no need to beat that dead horse if you don’t understand the matter ( no, not the .NEF file from OP )

Which is supposedly a camera-specific issue that has since been fixed, so re-testing is in order. Could you please link a relevant post?

@SergioStudio83 Are you shooting Nikon? Does the bug manifest with both regular DeepPrime and xD/2, or only one of those?

search and find … there were a lot of files shared over there, so everybody can download those and test as it was over there … what was fixed ( for a particular model ) was not a fix of a bigger general problem ( that’s why I noted - “no, not the .NEF file from OP” )

@George : ETTR Expo to the right (of the histogram) vs to the left

That I understood. But what is the use of ETTL? I never heard of that one.

the relevant test is done with tools that can display raw data values / demosaicked data values ( original raw vs dng from photolab / dng from adobe dng converter ) … and they very clearly illustrate the issue in a 2x2=4 way ( or 2x2=3.9 in dxo world )… posting jpgs is not that.
