Created attachment 115276 [details] Incorrect lenses name content SUMMARY Import + conversion to DNG lost lenses name. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Import window and select RAW files (in my case, Lumix GX8 files) 2. Show "Preferences" panel on right side 3. Enable "Convert RAW images to DNG container" 4. Enable "Incorporate original file" 5. Enable "Losless compression" 6. Click "Download" button 7. Compare original RAW file properties with the DNG one OBSERVED RESULT Lenses name doesn't match between original RAW and converted DNG file EXPECTED RESULT Lenses name should be exact the same.
After a quick analysis, I pinpoint the problem in the Adobe DNG-SDK. With my RAW files from Nikon everything is OK, but with a test sample from the Panasonic camera, I can confirm the problem and there are more fields wrong. Gilles, I think we need to update the SDK. Maik
Thank you Maik. I'll carry over DNG conversion till it's fixed.
Maik, to update the DNG SDK from Adode, this require also to update the XMP SDK from Adobe. I already tried to do it in the past, with 5.x release, and... it fail due to incompatibility between both SDK (Adobe is magic)... We can try again, in hope that Adobe has fixed the problem. Gilles
I think updating the DNG-SDK will not help us. Exiv2 reported an error reading the maker notes. Presumably, the data in the QByteArray is wrong. We have the copy of the maker notes for Canon disabled, I would then suggest it for Panasonic at the moment. And wait and see what changes with Exiv2-0.27. Maik
As i know, Exiv2 0.27-RC will out next week-end Gilles
I had already tried to compile it with digiKam, but there are probably API changes. Maik
Exiv2 0.27 ? I compiled digiKam with it 2 week ago without problem... I will take a look this week end. Gilles
Yes, 15 days ago, for example, the change Exiv2::version() no longer existed, now versionNumber() and versionString(). But it was even more. Maik
Git commit a057c1535993b941e376d977826b456f1337444e by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 28/09/2018 at 16:29. Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. do not copy the makernote from Panasonic M +2 -1 core/libs/dngwriter/dngwriter.cpp https://commits.kde.org/digikam/a057c1535993b941e376d977826b456f1337444e
With this patch, you not have a makernote in the image, but correct lens data, because we read and copy and these are stored in XMP. We look to Exiv2-0.27RC. Maik
I don't know what's the markernote for, but it seems the important info will be preserved in the DNG. I guess the patch is for version 6, it is not? Thank you
This issue will not be resolved with Exiv2-0.27 at this time, so we will continue to ignore makernote from Pansonics. Maik
:( well, meanwhile I'll forgot to convert to DNG my RAW files ...
