Hello,
I use Lightroom 14.2 and Pure Raw 4.8.1.
All my photos have location data and are displayed on the map in Lightroom.
After denoising these photos with Pure Raw 4, the location data was deleted.
I couldn’t find any settings for this in Pure Raw.
Can someone help me?
Regards,
Matthias
I think you mean “Lightroom Classic,” since you cited version 14.2; “Lightroom” is now a different Adobe app with a different version number and (unless this changed recently) no way to use plug-ins like DxO PureRAW. (Don’t worry; I use “Lightroom” generically the same way, and so do many others, since for many years, that was indeed Lightroom Classic’s name. It’s just important to be clear what you’re doing when you’re having a problem like this.)
How is the location data getting entered into your Raw file metadata? Is it recorded by the camera when the image is captured? (If so, what camera body make and model?) Or is the location data entered manually by you using Lightroom Classic’s (LrC’s) Map module? Or some other way?
If you add a keyword to a Raw image file in LrC, does that get deleted when you export back to LrC from PureRAW? (This will tell you whether the problem is with passing EXIF metadata generally or just location data specifically.)
Please describe in more detail how you are passing files between the two apps, because there are several ways to do it. You can use Plug-in Extras in LrC, Edit In in LrC, or open the file into Pure RAW independent of LrC and then Export from PureRAW and Import it into LrC.
HINT: The recommended way–and I realize you may already know and be doing this, but you didn’t say how you’re doing it–the recommended way to use these two apps together is to Import the camera RAW file into LrC, use File > Plug-in Extras to send it to PureRAW, and then Export as DNG back to LrC. This way should round-trip whatever metadata was embedded in the Raw file by the camera and whatever metadata you added in LrC, including location data and keywords, before sending it to PureRAW.
