Hi everybody,
I'm trying to process my Dual-ISO pictures shot with my 5DMkIII with the cr2hdr v3.0 BETA3 Lightroom CC plugin on Windows 10.
But unfortunately at the end of every "Dual-ISO Converter" Export, the log window tells me I selected only "no Dual-ISO" pictures and tag them with the corresponding key-word !!!
I swear the original picture are Dual-ISO CR2.
What goes wrong ? What do I miss !
Thanks a lot
Upload a CR2 somewhere and link it here.
I'm having much the same problem since I got a new PC last week.
Same LR (5.7.1), camera (6D) & plugin (3.0 Beta 3.3).
I've been using Dual ISO plugin quite happily before this.
I export to Dual ISO plugin & am told there's no dual ISO on the shot. I'm at my wits end here!
I've also tried dragging shots over cr2hdr file with no joy.
Sample shot attached:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21483920/20160703-IMG_8079.CR2
I'd be very grateful for some help here.

No problem here. Which cr2hdr.exe are you using? Running cr2hdr from the commandline will tell you ...
Thanks Walter.
I couldn't get to it in Command Line (my DOS is a bit rusty) so here's the file:

Merged cr2hdr-20bit into unified
Outdated. Replace with most recent cr2hdr.exe:
https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Other%20tasks/job/cr2hdr-20bit/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/src/modules/dual_iso/cr2hdr.exe
Thanks again Walter.
I've downloaded this file, renamed the old one & pasted this in to BIN folder.
Removed old Plugin from LR, closed LR, opened LR, added plugin & tried again.
Still won't work.
The plugin folder I'm using is cr2hdr.3.0BETA3.3.lrplugin downloaded 24/5/16.
It's the same that worked on my old PC, before I bought this new one (which I'm regretting!).
Is there a more up to date lrplugin file I could try? Any other suggestions?
Regards
Paul
You just have to replace CR2HDR.exe. No need to reinstall plug-in.
If it doesn't work:
Copy a single dual ISO file to BIN and open command prompt there (Hold down Shift key and open context menu -> Open Command Prompt here ...).
Mark and copy text message to clipboard and post results here.
C:\Magic Lantern 6D\cr2hdrBETA3.3\cr2hdr.3.0BETA3.3.lrplugin\bin>
Is this what you mean? I don't think it is.
I can open a command window as you suggest, but how do I fill it with what happens when I drag the image over cr2hdr.exe, as it happens so fast I can't read it.
Try this:

cr2hdr: moved safeguard from median_int_wirth to kth_smallest_i...
No input files.
GUI usage: drag some CR2 or DNG files over cr2hdr.exe.
Command-line usage: cr2hdr [OPTIONS] [FILES]
Shortcuts:
--fast : disable most postprocessing steps (fast, but low quality)
(--mean23, --no-cs, --no-fullres, --no-alias-map, --no-stripe-fix, --no-bad-pix)
Interpolation methods:
--amaze-edge : use a temporary demosaic step (AMaZE) followed by edge-directed interpolation (default)
--mean23 : average the nearest 2 or 3 pixels of the same color from the Bayer grid (faster)
Chroma smoothing:
--cs2x2 : apply 2x2 chroma smoothing in noisy and aliased areas (default)
--cs3x3 : apply 3x3 chroma smoothing in noisy and aliased areas
--cs5x5 : apply 5x5 chroma smoothing in noisy and aliased areas
--no-cs : disable chroma smoothing
Bad pixel handling:
--really-bad-pix: aggressive bad pixel fix, at the expense of detail and aliasing
--no-bad-pix : disable bad pixel fixing (try it if you shoot stars)
--black-bad-pix : mark all bad pixels as black (for troubleshooting)
Highlight/shadow handling:
--soft-film=%f : bake a soft-film curve to compress highlights and raise shadows by X EV
(if you use this option, you should also specify the white balance)
White balance:
--wb=graymax : set AsShotNeutral by maximizing the number of gray pixels (default)
--wb=graymed : set AsShotNeutral from the median of R-G and B-G
--wb=exif : set AsShotNeutral from EXIF WB (not exactly working)
--wb=%f,%f,%f : use custom RGB multipliers
Other postprocessing steps:
--no-fullres : disable full-resolution blending
--no-alias-map : disable alias map, used to fix aliasing in deep shadows
--no-stripe-fix : disable horizontal stripe fix
Flicker handling:
--same-levels : Adjust output white levels to keep the same overall exposure
for all frames passed in a single command line
(useful to avoid flicker - for video or panoramas)
DNG compression (requires Adobe DNG Converter):
--compress : Lossless DNG compression
--compress-lossy: Lossy DNG compression (be careful, may destroy shadow detail)
Misc settings:
--skip-existing : Skip the conversion if the output file already exists
--embed-original: Embed (move) the original CR2 file in the output DNG. The original will be deleted.
You will be able to re-process the DNG with a different version or different conversion settings.
To recover the original: exiftool IMG_1234.DNG -OriginalRawFileData -b > IMG_1234.CR2
--embed-original-copy:
Similar to --embed-original, but without deleting the original.
Troubleshooting options:
--debug-blend : save intermediate images used for blending:
dark.dng the low-ISO exposure, interpolated
bright.dng the high-ISO exposure, interpolated and darkened
halfres.dng half-resolution blending (low noise, high aliasing)
fullres.dng full-resolution blending (minimal aliasing, high noise)
*_smooth.dng images after chroma smoothing
--debug-black : save intermediate images used for black level subtraction
--debug-amaze : save AMaZE input and output
--debug-edge : save debug info from edge-directed interpolation
--debug-alias : save debug info about the alias map
--debug-rggb : plot debug info for RGGB/BGGR autodetection (requires octave)
--debug-bddb : plot debug info for bright/dark autodetection (requires octave)
--debug-wb : show the vectorscope used for white balance (requires octave)
--iso-curve : plot the curve fitting results for ISO and black offset (requires octave)
--mix-curve : plot the curve used for half-res blending (requires octave)
--fullres-curve : plot the curve used for full-res blending (requires octave)
C:\Magic Lantern 6D\cr2hdrBETA3.3\cr2hdr.3.0BETA3.3.lrplugin\bin>
By the way, if I convert image to .dng in LR & then process, it does something then renames file to xxxx.dualiso.dng BUT it still has horizontal stripes.
HTH
Does this help? I ran cr2hdr then image name & got this: Perhaps there's a debug switch I could use...

This might be a clue...
After I use the LR plugin or Command Prompt to run cr2hdr, the timestamp on the cr2hdr.exe file is updated. This doesn't happen with dcraw.exe or exiftool.exe.
See my last DIR post & the one below for timestamps.

Disconnect computer from net. Disable all antivirus and other protection stuff and retry. Report back.
No luck using plugin or command prompt I'm afraid.
Details below.
I have to go to work now for a few hours Walter, but I really appreciate your help.

Please could you give me an update on this issue Walter?
Problem exists on your site/computer only.
If you want me trying to solve this riddle it might be best to access your computer via Teamviewer. What about today 17:00 UTC?
Thanks Walter. That's a very kind offer.
Unfortunately I'm away for the next few days, but would next Monday (11th) at 17.00 UTC be an option?
Regards
Paul
Monday 1700 UTC it is!
Thanks Walter. :)
CMD.EXE was missing in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
No problem opening command prompt, though.
EDIT: Windows at it's best ... http://picload.org/image/rrdliaop/bad.png
Nicely done! Last I helped out on teamviewer I wasn,t that lucky. Showed out the guy trying to work MLP had an ancient 32bit system mac.
I'd have been completely stuck without Walter's help.
Thanks again my friend. :)
