Question

Something wrong with Adobe DNG Converter and Lighroom

I noticed this issue in a smaller quantity last week but now it seems even more. Yesterday I made a picture of a bunny and after converting the image with Adobe DNG Converter (version 11.0.0.61 at first and updated to 11.3 and still same problem) and the green were overly saturated compared to the original .ORF file from Olympus E-M1 Mark I and that subjects with a green background behind them seem to lose the texture and colour like the demosaic gets confused about what's where:

Converted .ORF to .DNG (Full Size JPEG Preview and Fast Loading Data)

Screenshot of the original .ORF file opened with Microsoft Photos

I imported the .ORF file in Lightroom with 1:1 Preview and I still get the same problem:

There's a hole in his ear.

I noticed similar issues on one of my bird in flight image were under the wing there was a green colour cast and the eye was glowing green, the subject was behind a tree and the size of the bird was very small in the frame (it was about 50 meters away, maybe more).

I am very confused about why is this happening. For now, I have to stop converting to DNG but worse is I can't trust Adobe Lightroom right now to do my edits and I shoot only RAW.

    First impression is some setting in DNG converter is not at default, something in WB? perhaps in HSL?

    Not at all familiar if the DNG converter will read your cameras metadata and pass that along as a mod, as in some in camera setting, probably not.

    WB or HSL in the DNG converter?????

    Anyway, DNG or not, no one should expect the image to match in LR and Microsoft Photos.

    Have any of these image results been edited in the Develop module?

    It may also help to post your exact Lightroom and OS version thanks . . .

    No changes have been made to the images, just converted and/or imported in Lightroom.

    I'm currently investigating an issue issue with DNG Conveter  11.x. in LR Classic 8.x versions. Please try clicking on the Develop module 'Reset' button at the bottom of the right panel. Do you still see the issue if so try applying the 'Auto' button in the Develop module Basic panel. How does it look now?
