Hi,

when i open the created dng in Capture One, the overexposed areas are filled with yellow. Could you please look into this issue?

What camera are you using?
Do you get yellow with Adobe raw converters, such as ACR or Lightroom?

Sorry, I have had no time to look at this.

Have you tested if it is also yellow with adobe products?

If not - can you provide a faulty file so I can take a look?

There are four possible reasons for this that I can think of

  1. The RAW channel is clipped. Then something extra ordinary is necessary, as otherwise the conversion formula will just go bananas. Maybe Adobe is taking that into account and Capture One not. There are several possible strategies for fixing this. The problem being that fixing it might degrade the Adobe conversion.

  2. It is a matter of clipping in the RGB color space. I am not sure why the image should become yellow though. So, this one is not likely.

  3. It is a matter of wrap around in RGB space. In that case, Capture One is the problem. We cannot do much about that, except handle the RGB clipping, which is outside of the scope of our converter, as it do no color space transformation.

  4. Some strange bug in Capture One.

Only 1. of those is anything we can fix.

Can you somehow supply the RAW and the Capture One output?

Note though that there are several problems with DNG and non Adobe programs. It does not seem like other are fully following the specs. We cannot fix them all. Actually some are unfixable.

You can send it to [email protected]. Both the RAW and the faulty JPEG.

The RAW is big and I am not sure mail will make it. But we will see. If it fails, you could try some means of sharing via the web.

OK. I have taken a look at the JPEG. And also at the RAW in RawDigger. And now I know what the problem is. The topmost, and also sometimes the middle, channel is clipping where it is yellow. And, we are sending the channels as is (except for noise reduction) to the DNG file. We are doing nothing to the color balance in the file.

It is then up to Adobe or Capture One to use the color conversion tables and the data to make a picture. It seems like Adobe makes that intelligently and clip all channels when one input channel is clipping, while Capture one handles this poorly.

It is probably so that Capture One do not consider it to be a problem, as Bayer images do not have this kind of strong color conversions. While Adobe find it more important.

I cannot really find anything we can do about this.

As an extra info - we do have a TIFF mode that has exactly this problem. We have on our TODO to fix that problem for TIFF. Id we do, which is not all that likely, then there could be a switch in X3F Tools to output RGB instead of X3. Then it might work with Capture One. This is messy work though.
