Hi - just purchased pureRaw 4 - and tbh - very very impressed with it - Unfortunately, this statement from the user manual - If you process images that have already been edited in Lightroom Classic, any changes made to the originals will be applied automatically to the processed images. This applies to all tools in the Develop module, including masks (local adjustments), crop, and black-and-white conversion tools as well as the application of input profiles and pre-defined development settings.
Does not work and when returning to LRC - none of the edits are copied over. Any reason why this is happening please?
Thanks

Simple - this was a LRC error as the ‘Automatically save to .XMP’ in the LRC catalogue settings had somehow been unticked.
Will leave this up in case anyone else has a similar problem.
I just paste settings from the edited LR file into the PR file in LR.
I do need to uncheck lens profile as it will add the LR profile onto the LR profile.
Hi there, I just purchased DxOraw 4 and have this same problem; the changes made in LrC are not applied when importing to DxO or after sending the file back. I do have the Automatically save to… box ticked.
Could there be any other solution to this?
That is by design. The intention is that you use PureRAW before you make any edits in LR, i.e. it’s designed to be a replacement to the LR’s Develop Module.
EDITED TO ADD:
See below, @mwsilvers has pointed out my comment above is misleading, please see his clarification here:
Unfortunately, the way you phased that is misleading. Yes, the intention is to use it before making edits in LightRoom. But, PureRaw is not a replacement for the Develop module where all edits are applied in LR. It is a replacement for the demosaicing of raw files during export in Lightroom. The output of PureRaw is no longer a raw file. I know that you know that, but I just wanted to clarify it for @MartindeGraaff .

I know its not a replacement but this is what DxO is saying in the user manual : “ if you process images that have already been edited in Lightroom Classic, any changes made to the originals will be applied automatically to the processed images. This applies to all tools in the Develop module, including masks (local adjustments), crop, and black-and-white conversion tools as well as the application of input profiles and pre-defined development settings.”. For me this means it should well work with an edited raw file. But it even happens that after the conversion to a tif file I get the error message: file not recognized, already processed or corrupted…
Hi, if this is by design the information in the user manual to be found on the website if definitely misleading : “ if you process images that have already been edited in Lightroom Classic, any changes made to the originals will be applied automatically to the processed images. This applies to all tools in the Develop module, including masks (local adjustments), crop, and black-and-white conversion tools as well as the application of input profiles and pre-defined development settings.”.
For me this means it should well work with an edited raw file.
I was stupid enough to buy it on believing this customer promise and it is quite sad that such a misleading advertising can go on and on and on…
@mwsilvers Thank for correcting me! I will now edit my post, to point to your correction.
I know what you are speaking of. Currently It is not working for me and I cant find the solution. The point people seem to be missing is that when an image has been sent to DXO for processing and then returned to LR, LR typically applies the edits of the image to the new DXO dng upon import. Sometimes it works. Other times not. I may make bulk edits to my images, then final edits to the ones I am planning on using and then decide if they need to have the noise removed, not before. When it is working properly, my adjustments and crops are automatically applied to the dng when it returns to LR. May be an LR issue, may be DxO. Either way, a solution would be nice as it is currently not working as intended
Per DxO Manual as OP Stated:
Please note:
All metadata from the original images are transferred to the processed images,
including the star rating, keywords, IPTC fields, EXIF data, etc.
If you process images that have already been edited in Lightroom Classic, any
changes made to the originals will be applied automatically to the processed
images. This applies to all tools in the Develop module, including masks (local
adjustments), crop, and black-and-white conversion tools as well as the
application of input profiles and pre-defined development settings.
