No, this is patently wrong. Internally, Lightroom uses a custom color space with PP primaries and a linear tone curve. This is not the same as ProPhoto RGB. Try reading: The front GUI of Lightroom uses Melissa RGB; which, for clarification, is ProPhoto colour numbers plotted against the sRGB tone curve! WHICH IS NOT LINEAR...

Why would you tag a jpeg with ARGB? Jpegs should always be sRGB, because the sRGB gamma curve is better suited to an 8 bit image for general viewing. The ARGB colour space is irrelevant in todays photo workflow, and really should be ignored. Colour spaces in Lightroom are FIXED at Linear ProPhoto in the background, and Melissa RGB in the front GUI. You can NOT change them. Only exports from LrC/ACR can be changed to a smaller colour space. So, in LrC/ACR you ARE working in ProPhoto. If you move an image over to Ps from LrC, Ps needs to be set to ProPhoto as the working space, but you need to switch the Grey Gamma to 1.8 an set that as the default. Working this way, if you save the image in Ps, it looks the same when you view it in LrC, because it's in the LrC working space. Once you finish the image processing, simply export it as a jpeg, converting to sRGB as the output space, and the ACE colour engine will do the conversion for you. The result will be a jpeg in sRGB that looks the same as it did in LrC or Ps. Just forget about ARGB as a working space. As a measure of calbrated monitor colour space it's fine, but you monitor profile has nothing to do with Adobe Internal CM - unless you are softproofing for print.

Noel, that does NOT work!

That, and the other NFs, are suffering the same in 26.11 on Mac Sequoia latest version too Joachim. V26.10 the depth map function still works, so perhaps rolling back to that will be a suitable fix for you.

It seems to have killed off ALL neural filters, including Depth Blur, which is critical for creating depth maps. If I roll back to 26.10, everything is back to working correctly. Most of us prefer to have things that work, so come on Adobe, fix your stuff will you!

Yes, 10.14.6 Is your PK Toolkit folder in your plugins folder alongside Generator, or is mine in the wrong place? Cheers

Does anyone know how to get the free version of PG Toolbox Plugin to function in Ps 22.3.0? I've dragged the main PK Toolkit folder to the 22.3.0 plugins folder and restarted Ps, but it still doesn't show up under automate. Many Thanks

I've seen some information in a few videos on a particular YouTube channel where the presenter repeatedly says that a Raw Smart Object opened in Photoshop constitutes "lossless 32 bit Raw". Is this correct?

It works perfectly in Raw Therapee using a flat shot straight after the main picture. Watch my video Raw Therapee Flat Field* - YouTube - skip to 8mins 15s to see.

A flat field or LCP frame DOES remove dust from the image - as long as there is no blurring applied to it.

Just tried running the plugin and it's not removing dust spots. Is the plugin adding a blur to the calibration frame? My plugin version is 1.0.0.9 - is there a newer version that I'm not finding? Best Regards Andy

Thanks Tom If you do 'pull the pin' on the 11 hours of sharpening training, I can promise you it'll be worth it! All the best.

Thanks for that Bob. What I really don't understand though, is why Adobe have added 'bells and whistles' but not made fundamental improvements to the basic foundation of Lightroom/ACR. It's a raw file demosaicer and processor, and as such the two cornerstones are demosaicing and input sharpening. Everything else, including the new profiles, is/are meaningless if the foundations are shaky. And shaky they are. How old is the demosaicing algorithm, and why are we still limited to a choice of one algorithm? Why are we still limited to a single iteration deconvolution sharpening method, or unsharp masking with no distribution threshold? And why are we still not given a 32bit float conversion engine? Hell, we can RL decon sharpening, a 32bit float conversion engine, and a 4 point fully adjustable USM distribution threshold - with separate fully adjustable halo suppression - in a FREE raw converter! Adobe remind me of IBM - 'we're too big in the market to fail'. RT, Iridient and C1 are far superior at raw conversion than Lr/ACR. Yes, Lr is still king when it comes to DAM, Soft Proof and Print, but the raw conversion HAS TO come first.

Hi Tom If you take the image profile back to Adobe Standard, do they still look blurred with your original sharpening preset? I only ask, because of what Ian said in his reply to me - +40 makes Adobe Color look more pleasing out of the box.

Thank you for that info Ian - much appreciated, and things are as I thought. From a personal PoV I have zero interest in the huge swathe of colour profiles that adorn Lr v7.3 - I'm too much of a Photoshop junkie to be bothered with them in Lr. The things I wish the Lr dev team would do are: 1. Give us a totally neutral preset (a la Raw Therapee et al). That would save the donkey work. 2. Update and overhaul the demoz algorithm, or give us the ability to select from a choice of algorithms. 3. Expand the input sharpening options to include a 4 point threshold USM, and full blown RL Deconvolution sharpening. In other words, package Raw Therapee into the DAM and Print side of Lr - wow, that would be epic! Thanks for your time Ian Best Regards Andy

Thanks Ian. Let me get a confirmation from you on something else if I may. At a base level, they have not changed the unique demosaicing algorithm, just the default 'auto applied' process settings/profile/CLUT, neither have they changed the MelissaRGB GUI. Or have they?

Can anyone throw some light on as to why the amount default setting has been changed from 25 to 40 in Lr v7.3 ? I would be very interested in why the Lightroom dev team felt this was needed - has there been some change to the sharpening algorithms?

I had the same problem and after hours of head scratching I decided to bite the bullet and call Tech Support, who I have found in the past to be marginally better than useless. But I got a lovely lady called Anu who took over my machine, and after around 4 hours and 2 call-backs it got sorted. Logging in as Root User she ended up deleting every file and folder named adobe or com.adobe from Application Support in both /Library and ~/Library directories. The machine was then rebooted in Safe Mode then restarted again as Root User. The whole operation removed all traces of anything Adobe from the system - something that the CC Cleaner doesn't seem to do. Then she logged into the CC website under her own UN/PW and downloaded the CC Installer app - this installed no problem at all. Using the installer she downloaded and installed Photoshop and Lightroom. The machine was then rebooted under my own admin account, then she signed out of the cloud and I logged in. Everything now works thank God. The one thing I gathered from the whole operation is that the download error code 1002 leads you down the wrong rabbit hole - the problem persisted even though I changed the machine from a wireless connection to a hard-wired Lan cable. The installer seems to expect mac permissions to be set a certain way and if they are not as the installer wants them then the operation quits at 2%. I haven't had to call TechSupp since the Cloud was launched properly, but this problem had me climbing the walls with frustration. My advice would be to call them - and if you get Anu Tripathi on the line you're golden!
