P: (Apple) HDR-DNG from Lr Mobile camera causing problems

[Jeff Bellune]

Premiere Pro guy here, but still a long-time user of Lr (classic and cloud).

I've got some DNG images taken with the Lr Mobile camera that I'm trying to get into Apple Photos as RAW files. The images were taken with various iPhone models, starting with the iPhone X. When snapped, I usually preferred the hdr-dng version to the regular dng version, so I deleted most of the regular dng's.

When I export now from Lr (either macOS 12.5 or iOS 15.5), the few regular DNG files I have export and add to Apple Photos perfectly. The hdr-dng files end up a blown-out white & magenta mess.

For reference, here are 2 screenshots of what the regular dng's look like in Camera Raw 14.4 and Apple Photos.

 Now here is what happens with the hdr-dng's:

Apple Photos (and in Preview on Mac, and in RAW Power, and in Pixelmator Pro, and so on): 

If I export as a DNG from Camera Raw, I get the same result as exporting from Lr.

I'd be grateful for any help or insight, even if that help starts with, "Hey Stupid!" 😀

Cheers,

Hi @Jeff Bellune 

This issue is being tracked by the Lightroom team as an Apple Feedback issue.  I have not ETA for a fix date.  In the LR app export menu, you can use TIFF as a high fidelity rendition of your image that won't have the same display issue.

Also, I'll convert this to a bug, so I can tag this internally for tracking.

I do realize that the Iphone 14 is not fully supported at this time in LRM but i figured i would point out this problem i have been getting while shooting In HDR with the main and telephoto lens.

I have been getting a magenta color in some of my images while pointing at the sun, here are some images for reference. It only happens in HDR so it probably has something to do with the merge or the tone mapping of the images.

This HDR fonction is Lightroom is the single most important fonction in any app in the App Store that i could find for images where you really need a high dynamic range and this is the single fonction why i dont use my Sony A7R4 as often anymore.

Thank you and i hope this helps.

Hello Stephcout2011, we've seen this issue before on iOS 16.0 beta. Just to confirm, have you installed iOS 16.1 Beta on your iPhone 14 Pro?

Thank you,

Elmira

 Recently upgraded to a iPhone 14 Pro Max. When shooting in Lightroom with HDR all the pictures have this purple hue (it varies by picture with size and intensity). Any thoughts on how to correct?

Hi, I have the same issue - all HDR photos taken by the telephoto lense on iPhone 14 pro have magenta stains of different shapes and sizes. No beta software installed, running iOS 16.6 and Lightroom v. 8.4.1 2C9D5C/103. Is there a fix? Because it seems the issue was first reported almost an year ago.

Hello @saintluu 

We have reported the issue to Apple, and are waiting for updates.  If there is any progress we can report here, we will.

Hi. I am the one who originally started this post. Just wanted to let you know that the same problem is persisting with the iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.2.

Thank you for your time. 

Stephane.
