WB issue in LR 5 with K-3 DNG

mactrash · 11-10-2013, 03:31 PM

I can get most equal in Camera LCD vs Computer LCD... is doing the conversion (whatever PEF / DNG) by use Digital Camera Utility 5 that in the org CD

But there is still Color shift like orange become red etc... issues.

I used colorchecker to create a lightroom profile, still not help... I believe this new K-3 pef and dng is in a very big different format

We should happy Pentax made the first best JPG output DSLR

The named issue exists not only in Lightroom, but in Camera RAW, SilkyPix and Pentax Digital Camera Utility as well.
The attached images are developed in the latest SilkyPix DS Pro 5 with default settings *. First two images are from PEF and the second two are from DNG.
0461 - M AWB PEF
0462 - AWB PEF
0463 - AWB DNG - SilkyPix colour mode set to DNG instead of natural. *
0464 - M AWB DNG - SilkyPix colour mode set to DNG instead of natural. *

The OOC JPG files and OOC TIF files have no issues with white balance.

These photos are very similar to ones I have had. However, I have seen it less or not at all since the latest update to LR. Also I do not think i saw it in PS Elements 12. I have not used that program much with K3 files but it has not been a problem there.

Actually there is a way, to get the M AWB parameters in lossless format, for further editing. You can develop the RAW file using in-camera software into TIF and then work with it in one of the editors. I am yet to check the latest LR. Could you please post any M AWB files processed by it ?

Should write to adobe

GRDs camera do have similar MWB but they render ok in lightroom

Maybe we need LR 5.4+ for fix this issue.

I tried LR 5.3 today and I can confirm that the result is the same as in 5,2 i.e. the M AWB is not supported properly.
