DNG back to Lightroom Color/fstop Shift and Changes Photo placement

[fleming.shipman]

This is a weird one. After sending RAW .CR3 images to photo AI via Lightroom, the DNG’s that are returned have a major color shift, incorrect white balance, and have a slight placement adjustment. Like the image is being cropped when it’s not.

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. Send RAW file from Lightroom to Photo AI
2. Make Denoise and Sharpen Adjustment only. Apply.
3. Once Lightroom reload the new DNG, compare original .CR3 to DNG.
