HDR and Dual ISO Postprocessing / Opening DNG files in 32bit mode in LR
« on: December 28, 2014, 02:40:42 AM »
Thanks for the great efforts in developing and supporting this tool!
Just a small question - did anyone find a way to open DNG files in 32bit mode in Lightroom (exp. slider ranging from -10ev to +10ev)? Is there a tag or anything like that in the DNG file that needs to be set for Lightroom to open the file in 32bit mode?
I know about the trick of using dng_validate to convert the DNG to TIFF 32bit and it works nicely but I'm trying to avoid the big TIFF files and the more limited control over WB.
I tried to open DNG 32bit files created by HDRMerge and by PhotoAcute; same result - Lightroom opens them in 16bit so they have to be converted to TIFF 32bit before importing.
