As a PureRAW 5 owner, I am testing PureRAW 6 right now. I am a Fujifilm user, so the most interesting new feature for me are the compressed DNGs.
My only workflow is export RAWs from Lightroom to PureRAW and automatically import the resulting DNGs back then process further in Lightroom and others. If I do it with a single RAW file, everything is fine. However, running a larger batch (I tried 10 and 20) and setting the output to compressed DNG, I get a mix of compressed and uncompressed DNGs. In a batch of 20 there are usually only 4-5 compressed ones and the others are uncompressed.
I did check that the output is set to compressed, no matter which RAW photo I select. I also checked that if I single-process the files which resulted in uncompressed DNGs, I get the correct compressed files. It seems that the issue is with batch-processing.
I did some more testing, and this issue seems to be Lightroom related. If I send the batch from Lightroom Classic, I get the mixed results (but always much more uncompressed photos). If I import the same RAW files directly to PureRAW 6, all the output is compressed.
I have done lots of testing in the last few hours, and found something which may explain why you cannot see the issue (BTW I’m also on Win11).
If I choose Process instantly… in Lightroom, the issue does not happen, everything is compressed nicely. If I choose Preview and process… however, it happens every single time. Even with a smaller batch, like 4 images. Also, Process instantly… is much much much faster.
