Hi all.
I’m on Windows 10 with 32gb ram i7 7700 4.2ghz
Nvidia 1070
I go into detail here to explain exactly what’s happening for me though my question in brief is how do I send an adjusted photo from Lightroom to PL6 for further editing with the adjustments from LRC showing up in pl6?
I have saved the adjusted DNG from LRC onto my hard disk and opened it in pl6 and I’ve also used the plug-in from LRC and neither method is giving me a visual on the adjustments within PL6.
Okay so…
First, I’m getting excellent results so far as I trial photolab 6. I’m green to visual art/photo/video, with only 20 months experience. Though moving from LRC into this software is pretty thrilling. It seems to me to be a completely different perspective on processing a photo…
It’s refreshing and is accessing my growth.
That said,
I am clear, say least it seems MOST people start in LRC then use the plug in extras under file to send their initial RAW to PL6 for demosaicing and denoise etc.
I’ve had success with this method and photos move back to LRC without a hitch, displaying with all the adjustments made in PL6.
The reverse, however, is yet unsuccessful.
I was working on a set of photographs to be merged in a gigapixel panorama. In this case I brought the images directly in to PL6.
I was able to get beautiful, vibrant images from my color work and processing all in PL6 with the exception of a center photo shooting directly into the setting sun.
I just could not get an image that would balance with the rest of the panorama images out of PL6, so I transferred it into LRC after denoising and applying the DXO basic preset.
I was then able to successfully get the gradient of light and color out of the image by editing it in LRC.
I have now used 2 options to send the file back to be with the rest of its family in pl6 where all of the files will be toned and exported to Microsoft image composite Editor.
I have attempted the option of going to file and plug in extras, yeah the resulting file that opens in pl6 does not have any of the adjustments made in LRC.
First, however, I simply exported the DNG file with adjustments from LRC into the source folder and then opened it in the file explorer in pl6.
When the image loads in PL6, initially the colors and light show up with the adjustments as they were made in LRC, then it goes back to the initial raw file and just shows me the desaturated shadows from the beginning of the journey.
How do I transfer the raw file from LRC with adjustments over to PL6 where I continue editing it?
Have the engineers at DXO assumed their software isn’t good enough for being a later step in someone’s workflow? They don’t have it set up so that I can transfer with adjustments from another program to Pl6?
Hopefully I am just missing something. I have a small list of things I have to check on before I commit to the software long-term. If I cannot bring a raw file with adjustments into PL6, that seems rather absurd for a professional level editing program.
I must be missing something.
Help a guy out.
