    Raw vs JPEG

    Lens correction data embedded in some RAWs may be sufficient for distortion correction but many programs cannot make use of it because the data format of the embedded corrections is proprietary and not open. In general, most lenses do not communicate any correction data. You may very well be...

    Raw vs JPEG

    Yes, that's true but I was referring to Adobe's software Lightroom which is proprietary & the code is not made public. In my opinion, Adobe's .dng is open to attract customers into buying/using Adobe software. Adobe even offers a free software to convert other raw images to .dng which as I...

    Raw vs JPEG

    DNG is a RAW image file. It is Adobe’s proprietary image standard that was created to store image data in a generic, highly-compatible format, unlike RAW files that have specific formats based on manufacturer and camera type such as Canon and Nikon, etc.. Although DNG was invented by Adobe and...

    Raw vs JPEG

    It's interesting isn't it? Is DJI instructing it's own software on it's own quads to wright correction data into the raw images that some but not all raw editor software can read? If they are, it would be to DJI's advantage to make that data public and accessible to all and keep all DJI pilots...

    have DJI become victims of their own success

    They can remove me as well since I'd love to see U.S.A. get competitive and putting people to work making drones here on the homefront.

    Raw vs JPEG

    As far as I know, all raw editors use correction files that are included in the software. The software installs new profiles/correction files during updates. This is necessary because new cameras and lenses are constantly being developed. In the case of Lightroom they are probably .lcp or maybe...

    How is it extracted and used?

    Raw vs JPEG

    The image editor did not have a correction for the M2P camera. Nor did lensfun. I put one together by luck and looking at other camera correction files.

    Raw vs JPEG

    For now, I fixed it close enough. I added an xml correction file where all the others are stored & named it Hasselblad.xml Here is what's in the file : <lensdatabase version="1"> <camera> <maker>Hasselblad</maker> <model>L1D-20c</model> <model lang="en">DJI Mavic 2...

    Raw vs JPEG

    Hello all. I'm hopeful to get some help/explanation for what's going on here. Thank you in advance. The image below includes screen-shots of both the .dng (upper) and the .jpg (lower) from a M2P. They were combined into a single image for ease of comparison. The camera was set to record both raw...

    New SmartController update available

    Failed twice. 3rd attempt underway. I really have better things to do than babysit :confused: Update : This time it added a 'Transmitting' session after the download. Like the first two attemps, it hangs a while @ 16% then again @ 98%. Update : After an hour … success. Good grief! Good luck...

    Part 107 or 101?

    Yes, but silly isn't the word I was thinking of when I took a double take after answering their questions and seeing that. After working closely with Federal regulations for 34 years on military aircraft contracts, nothing surprises me anymore. Good flying & thanks for the responses. And my...
