True, that’s a workaround.
But do we really need to create a new file on a harddrive? Wouldn’t it be better just to do this in RAM as part of the workflow on that image? I see “correction preview” in the upper left hand corner; but when I select the WB picker I get “full preview” in the lower left hand corner for some reason, can’t we just have a “permanent full preview switch” that renders “optical and NR” in RAM?
Each time such a question is raised, I notice that there are many “just do…” answers, but there are MANY of these quirks where we need to “just do…(something convoluted requiring extra steps)”.
I’d really like to avoid an extra temporary DNG file for each image on my harddrive and in my Lighroom catalog. We’re heading towards 40 to 100Mp files coming out of our cameras…I’d rather avoid needing 1GB of space per image due to multple temporary copies…
And also, once we have converted to DNG and opened again in PL5 we cannot export to DNG “all corrections applied” to Lightroom anymore, only to tiff.
