DNGs from Process Recipe & Export Useless

Permanently deleted user
Can someone else try this and tell me whether your results are the same?

When I use a Process Recipe or Export Variants to create DNG files the DNG files are useless. The colors are very green and not at all correct.

Capture One Pro 11
Build: 11.0.0.282
Mac OS X 10.11.6

    I can confirm that too. I exported and they are green and dark.

    I tried it too, just because of this thread.

    Phase One's website https://help.phaseone.com/en/CO11/Expor ... xport.aspx states

    When using the Export Variants option, Capture One makes virtual copies of the originals, applies any adjustments made and saves them as either JPEG, TIFF, PNG, DNG or PSD file formats.


    But what I see is that after export to DNG:
    - Finder's DNG thumbnail and Capture One's import dialog correctly show my adjusted image,
    - Preview, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Gimp and Capture One open the DNG with no additional adjustments,
    - the DNG does contain the white balance from the variant I cloned it from before inverting, adding layers and exporting. (Now, that's weird!)

    My initial adjustments before cloning: only white balance.
    My additional adjustments on the clone: white balance (background and 2 layers) and levels (inverted background).

    Exported to TIFF everything is fine.


    Regards,

    I'm getting these green images as well when exported to Tiff "Zip" file. Looks like it worked when processing as Tiff "Uncompressed".

    I just tried exporting a Nikon raw file as a DNG, TIFF, compressed TIFF and JPEG (as a control). All exported to a readable file.

    The only issue is that despite a "respect crop" command, the DNG showed the full frame.

    FYI.

    I also see weird things (using v11, Windows 10). Previously unedited NEF image (Nikon D800E), cropped heavily, used a simple brush adjustment layer to masked a branch on a tree and pulled down the exposure rendering the branch really ugly. Edit should be easily detectable in the embedded preview if C1 updates it. Exported to DNG.

    The export dialog indicated 34Mb, the DNG on disk is more like 70MB. Hmmm...

    - Photo Mechanic apparently sees just white pixels in the preview image
    - DxO Photo Lab says i can not load the image but shows a thumbnail with my edits (crop and masked branch)
    - On1 Photo Raw 2018 shows all pixels as white (in line with Photo Mechanic)

    Something is rotten...

    Do any of you know whether the Phase One people will see this thread? Or do we need to be filing bug reports?

    Filing a bug report is the only sure way to get their attention. You could include a link to this conversation.
