White balance for DNGs (from JPG) - tigercat - 2019-06-30 White balance for DNGs converted from JPGs is a mystery. Reaching the point in LRT where my white balance adjustments from LR load successfully in LRT. LRT shows "WB(rel) Temp" and "WB(rel) Tint" what I set (-100 and 100 as example). When I apply "Autoübergang", "WB(rel) Temp" / "WB(rel) Tint" change to "?", the visual previews later show up as if no WB was ever applied. If I would have used CR2 instead DNG from the beginning, LRT has no problems dealing with balance adjustments during "Autoübergang" and for the final previews. I dug through the forum, narrowed down potential issues shown here, but none helped me out. https://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-keyframes-metadata-editing-from-lrtimelapse-not-visible-in-lightroom-or-vise-versa Workflow 1 JPG to DNG conversion with Lightroom "Export to DNG". Latest DNG converter. 2 Open DNGs in LRT, Holy grail steps until "Drag into Lightroom". 3 DNGs in LR, from Grid view "loading metadata from file" to the whole series (metadata from XMPs created by LRT). 4 Adjust White balance in LR 5 Save metadata to file (metadata goes to DNGs, not back to XMPs). 5 Back to LRT. Refresh. 6 WB shown for my keyframes as expected 7 "Autoübergang" button --> here we go, all WB removed. * Lightroom 6.14 * LRTimelapse 5.2.2 (free version) * DNG Converter 11.3.0 Is this solvable? Thanks for any suggestions. RE: White balance for DNGs (from JPG) - Gunther - 2019-07-01 Some things to check: - Are all images in that folder really such JPG-DNGs ? Make sure that no other file or any Raw-DNG is in that folder. - Try with a small subset of images first. - Check XMP-Metadata/White Balance Treatment, it should be set to "Relative" automatically - if not set it manually. - Do Metadata/Initialize in LRT set a keyframe to the first and last frame, save. - In Lightroom edit the WB of the first and last frame differently (keyframes). Save Metadata for both (Grid View, Save Metadata to files!) - Back in LRT Reload and do Autotransition. - The WB column(s) should show the transition. I've just tried this with 5.2.2, and it works perfectly. RE: White balance for DNGs (from JPG) - tigercat - 2019-07-03 Thank you Gunther, amazing quick feedback. Helped me a lot. Problem solved. I figured out the "Relative" setting in LRT was missing and I just didn't see it. It was set to RAW, and while I changed it to JPG,TIFF,... everything is fine, white balance is processed. The world looks much brighter now :-) |
