This is my first post to this forum. I’ve been using PR5 for 2-3 months, my first experience with any de-noise software. I was wondering about whether there was any kind of human readable meta data about the PR5 settings used on a DNG that I processed in the past. This would be nice, for example, if I decided that a photo I processed with PR5 in the past was over sharpened. I would instantly know how to redo it.
I’m afraid the answer is NO, since that’s what Google’s AI told me (Please correct me if that’s wrong). But wouldn’t that be nice!? I wonder if that’s a possible upgrade (or even update) for the future.
Stopped using PureRAW after version 3 and can therefore not try to check the situation, but…
…if you open a DNG exported by an older version of DPR, the settings might be visible in DPR5 through slider positions etc., but that’s just an assumption for now.
Other than that, you might find at least a few settings in metadata if you used ExifTool to explore the file. Again, I cannot verify this, but if you shared a file (or more than one), I could check metadata content.
As a new user, your ability to attach files is limited by forum software, but adding a link to a share can work around those limitations. If you don’t have dropbox, google drive etc. you could try wetransfer.com. Just make the files publicly available for a while.
Thank you, platypus, for your welcoming reply. I do have Dropbox, so I uploaded a few DNG’s from my DxO collection, only to find that I have to upgrade to “Dropbox Essentials” to make the folder public (I currently have the free version). I could do the free trial and remember to cancel but I shy away from that kind of thing. How do I become eligible to simply upload a file to this forum?
