there's an option in the DNG converter to maintain compatibility with several different versions of ACR. The result appears to be the same with either version: a permanently corrected file.
Adobe dng converter lens correction windows#
I have that version too, but on Windows 7. One other thing to look at: I used v8.5.0.236 of the DNG converter to do the conversion. I don't have older and newer versions to test that hypothesis. I wonder if an old version like CS3 produces the same corrections as CS6 and even newer CC versions.
Adobe dng converter lens correction software#
I follow your reasoning that software that is several generations old could not apply proper corrections to a new camera. Then we have some conflicting experiences! If you have various brands of programs you have some ability to use or not use corrections, based on the program you select. At least there is complete consistency within each line of software. All of this is exactly the same as opening raw files within these Adobe, Skylum and DxO programs. When I open the same dng file in Aurora 2018 or DxO PhotoLab, the corrections are not applied. A DNG file from the RX100III displays with lens corrections the ARW version displays without lens corrections. I have instructed the codecs to display the actual content of the RAW files I use, including DNG files (rather than displaying the embedded thumbnails). I use a product called FastPictureViewer and its associated codecs that allow Windows to display RAW files of various types. Or - they are already applied by the DNG converter. I never see any correction options other than these generic ones:Īdobe gives you no option to not apply those corrections. I strongly doubt that ACR 4.6 from 2008 has that capability. Within the Adobe family of software, those corrections are automatically applied. It is up to the program that you use to open those files to use, or not use, those corrections. I think DNG Converter is merrily passing along the corrections to the dng file. Although I understand why you reach that conclusion. I don't see how my old version of ACR could be doing the correcting. That's unexpected.īased on what I discovered, I'm going to theorize that the DNG converter actually modifies the RAW data and bakes in the corrections. To my astonishment, even Adobe Camera RAW 4.6 in Photoshop CS3 (2007-08) properly applies the lens corrections from my RX100III ARW files after conversion to DNG. When opened in LR6 or CS6, those profiles are applied.
The obvious conclusion is that during the conversion of raw to dng in Adobe Converter, built-in profiles are included in the dng file. Clicking on that message pops up the window shown below that gives more details on the corrections being applied. Then, I noticed the message in the lens corrections panel that indicated that "Built in Lens Profile applied".
Once converted, the dng version looked identical to the jpg in LR6 (from a perspective point of view). There were obvious perspective corrections being done on the in-camera jpg. I downloaded the OOC jpg and raw files of that photo. I concentrated on one photo from the DPR review of the RX100 VI. I reached the same conclusion before seeing his post. While I was experimenting to prove one way or the other, he posted his message. See JohnGI1's post in this thread that says converted files do contain corrections.
