Custom DCP Profiles on Pixel Shift DNGs

[risottto]

I just got the GFX 100s for art work reproduction purposes, and it's 100 megapixels are an ideal upgrade.

As a starter, my workflow for years has been to get a good shot of a my colorchecker SG with a specific lens/camera/lighting setup that I will be shooting the artwork in, the I create a custom Reproduction DCP profile using Lumariver Profile Designer, and I apply that to the RAW file in Lightroom to get a proper calibration. I can verify by exporting the calibrated color chart file and uploading it to deltae.picturae.com. If all went well, I get Delta-e of 2 or less and pass FADGI, everyone is happy!

Yesterday I thought I would try pixel shift multi-shot on the 100s, and it successfully created a giant sharp, noiseless DNG file, but when I imported this DNG into Lightroom or open in Camera RAW, i cannot apply any of my Custom DCP profiles! I only get the option of Color or Monochrome, just like it was a TIFF, not a raw file anymore?

Does anybody know if there is a way to create a pixel shifted DNG that you can actually apply a DCP calibrated profile to?

I think this should be possible, because I opened up the Pixel Shift DNG in the old app called Adobe DNG Profile editor, and in there you can see that in the DNG is an embedded color profile called "Embedded (GFX100S)", I can replace it with my custom profile by browsing to it, and it looks like it should in the preview, but unfortunately there is no way to save the DNG, just to export a DCP profile, that I can't actually apply to the Pixel Shift DNG!

 

Any ideas on how this can made to work? Would be awesome to provide clients an option to get 400MP pixel shift images, but not if the color is a generic uncalibrated profile!

 

Thanks in advance

I encounter the exact same ColorChecker DCP problem as you did with Fuji pixel shift DNGs in Camera RAW workflow. This appears to be a known bug of Fuji DNG. But it's been a year since your post and I see no one answered your question so far, I wonder why. I assume you probably have already found a solution for this, if so, do you care to share your insight?

I'm also curious about Adobe DNG Profile Editor (ADPE) where you mentioned you were able to export a DCP but couldn't apply its settings to your DNG. ADPE doesn't export DNG file, that's kinda expected. But what about using a pixel shift "ColorChecker" DNG image to generate a profile from ADPE (instead of from ColorCkecker's own Camera Calibration)? And then export this custom DCP to Adobe Camera RAW for pixel shift DNG editing, wouldn't that be more feasible?
