Fixed: DNG imports after 6.2 update doesn't show the edits

I follow the instructions to download presets and add them to my Lightroom mobile app. I open the DNG file in Lightroom, click the three dots on the top right, click create preset and save it as a new preset. But then when I go to my photos to use the preset, the photo doesn't change. The preset doesn't add any filter to my photo. Any ideas how to make the presets work??

Greetings,

 

Lightroom Mobile for iOS (iPhone & iPad) 6.2.1 was released earlier today and contains a fix for this issue.

 

If you previously downloaded Lightroom 6.2 you should install this update as soon as possible to avoid this issue. 

 

Note: To fix images that were affected you need to do the following:

 

  1. Install 6.2.1
  2. Delete the file and move to trash
  3. Re-import the file again

 

Thank you for your patience.

You can still import your Presets using lightroom.adobe.com

 

Log in with same account information you are using for your Lightroom App. Click + button and import the DNG files.

The DNGs will appear in "all photos" folder in your Lightroom Mobile App. From there you can save and use your Presets. Make sure sync is on in your Lightroom App.


If you see a cloud with a strike through it you need to reinstall your App.You will have a 30 day trial to use this feature.

 

Let me know if that helps!

After updating the lightroom (version 6.2) does not matter the presets in DNG file.
I have a subscription and am now unable to work for an adobe error.
When will this be corrected?

Please Adobe.

When I import a DNG file with settings into the Lightroom app, all settings of the DNG files are reset to 0. The problem appeared after updating the app to 6.2.0. Can you please fix this?

I sell presets online and 4 of my customers since yesterday have told me that they have the same issue. This was the first time ever that something like this happened. I verified their imports and the integrity of the files and there is nothing wrong with the Files or the process that they follow. The presets seem to be blank on their end, they miss the information.

Hi, I also have the same trouble on importing dng. Usually after import dng file to lightroom the color of its preset will showing. However this doesn't showing. Have try to uninstall and re-install, download through different browser, still the same. Yes, I am importing dng photo and No, I don't reset the photo. I am using the latest version of lightroom in appstore. Please fix this issue. Thank you.

Updating to LR 6.2 is causing DNG files to not import settings! This is a huge issue, especially for many businesses that I hope they resolve within the next 24 hours! 😩

With the new Lightroom Mobile App update for iOS (6.2) you cannot upload DNG files and save a Preset fro that DNG File.

For Android you can upload xmp files by using the "Import Presets" option.

 

For iPhone if you have Lightroom CC you can sync your LR App to your Desktop Lightroom by signing into the same account on your LR App as you are signed into on your Desktop Lightroom.

 

Make sure both have sync turned on.

 

Hopefully they update the iOS soon to have the "Import Presets" feature!!!!

 

When you import a Preset to your Desktop Lightroom it will also import a Preset to your Mobile Lightroom.

Hey guys, I just updated the new version of lightroom mobile 6.2 and now when I import dng files with settings applied, the settings do not load! I sell mobile presets and customers download the .dng files and create presets from them once importing, so needless to say, I'm panicking. SOS!

After having opened a DNG (with a preset), the preset is not showing. I can only see the original photo, not the modified photo. 
Could someone help me? Thanks

After having opened a DNG (with a preset),

Did you IMPORT a DNG?

Who suplied the DNG?

Was it supplied with the purpose of creating a Preset?

 

the preset is not showing. 

"Not showing." where? In the Preset panel list? The Preset adjustments?

Have you created the Preset from the DNG in Edit mode?

What is the Preset supposed to do in editing?

 

I can only see the original photo,  not the modified photo.

How do you know that what you see is the original photo? Were you supplied an original and a modified version?

Did you do a 'Reset' of the photo?

 

Are you using Lightroom-Desktop v4.2 or Lightroom-Mobile v6.2 or Lightroom-Free ?

Some more details may help arrive at an answer for you.
