Hello,
Just got my Mavic 2 pro a few weeks ago, so just learning the ropes.
I'm used to editing all my real camera pictures in Adobe Lightroom in RAW and tweaking them to my taste.
When I imported some images I took last week of my buddy rock climbing at dawn, I noticed there were some strange artifacts in the bright area of the image, near the sun.
Of course, the sun was blown out, and I'm okay with that.
What bothered me is that even in the raw, before ANY edits whatsoever, there are some strange orange gradient blobs right under the sun that look as if some sort of highlight recovery was attempted. This is before touching any sliders in Lightroom, which is why it bothered me.
I shot RAW + JPEG and the JPEG image straight out of camera does not exhibit this.
I've attached both the JPEG and the output of the unedited RAW, as well as crops of the sun, and the area of the unedited RAW circled where I'm seeing false color.
As you can see, there's awful orange gradient blob right under the sun that looks very unnatural.
If you've ever tried to slide the highlights or whites all the way down in Lightroom to try to recover a blown out area in the picture - that's what it looks like. BAD.
Any idea of what could be going on?
Someone suggested it could be flare from the lens filter, but it doesn't explain why the JPEG image looks fine and flare does not cause false color like that, nor does it cause Lightroom to attempt to recover highlight detail.
