Custom DCP Profiles on Pixel Shift DNGs

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?

      Fujinon Lens database

      By Sany · Posted

      Hi Members Do we have a database of fuji lenses and their reviews somewhere in this forum? I remember from my pentax days long ago on the pentaxforum, there is a lens database where it holds the specs, reviews and sample photos and a rating scale on several factors like sharpness, bokeh etc., connected to that particular lens. So was curious to see if something in that line exists. Another - can anyone share a link to comparison between XF 23mm f2 and XF 27mm f2.8 if you have come across on something like that.

      X-T4 Exposure spikes during interval timer

      By madnic · Posted

      I've had some... not success but definitely a slight improvement playing with different metering modes. Changing the ISO range had no effect. Not sure what you're suggesting with the bulb setting and external timer. That's just going to be fixed exposure length of what 1/2 second? I've got a similar timer that I've used with a Sony in the past and it doesn't allow for exposure ramping. I realise there are timers that do, but even then exposure ramping isn't exactly what you need for HG because it's not a linear transition over time.

      Adapting telescope (2" focuser) to Fuji X?

      The M48 to X-Mount adapter with lens cap. The focuser. Loosen the three (screws / bolts) and remove the inner part. Inner part removed and some M48 extension tubes are added to the adapter. Just use long enough extensions for the focuser to hold onto the combination but not so long that when you put them into the focuser, it hits the secondary mirror. That will cause a lot of bad juju. (The small mirror at the top of your Newtonian is called the secondary). Adapter combination attached to my trusty X-T10. Slide the tube into the focuser, tighten the (screws / bolts) and you are good to go.

      Adapting telescope (2" focuser) to Fuji X?

      By jerryy · Posted

      The shorter M48 to X-mount adapters are usually the ones that work. The trick with Newtonians is that the focus spot is almost inside the focuser. Edit: I am updating this portion, the older stuff that was here is still valid, but 'a picture and a thousand words and all of that'. If you look at the focuser closely, you see it has the outer part and the inner part sitting inside. Loosen the screws on the outer part, take the inner part out of the focuser and slide in the adapter with the camera attached. Tighten the screws and adjust the focuser as needed. The overall “trick” is to find the scope specs listing for what is called back focus (for many refractor scopes it will be 55mm, but for reflector scopes it will be very different depending on what kind of scope it is, rc scopes have very different back focus distances than do Newtonians than do …) Okay, Fujifilm X-mount cameras have what is called the flange distance (the distance from the mount spot to the sensor in the body) of 17.7mm. If your scope or accessory has a back focus of 55mm, subtract 17.7 from 55 to get 37.3mm that you need extension tubes to cover. Most Newtonians have very short back focus distances, so you almost need to have the camera inside the focuser. Other bodies, Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc. with deeper flange distances are more troublesome when trying to use them with standard Newtonian scopes. Edit: It occurs to me that I could hopefully make this a bit clearer by demonstrating with one of my scopes, so in a bit, I will post that and not rely on looking at other sites for visuals. I will try to do so quickly and come back and edit this posting. HTH.
