Subject: [Leica] DMR DNG profile hell !
From: faneuil at gmail.com (Eric Korenman)

a plee for help from any DMR users:

After a YEAR (!) of shooting I just realized that Adobe Bridge (and for that
matter Lightroom) are when I import DNG files from my DMR.

I shoot and store in TIFF mode on my DMR, I get super great color.
If shoot in DNG mode, I get horribly ruddy skin tones when I open them in
Adobe Bridge or Lightroom
Seems the DNGs are not being interepretted correctly by Adobe Bridge and
Lightroom.
The programs seem to think the color profile is ProRGB space, when actually
the DNGs are in Adobe RGB 1998 space.
Changing the color profile menu setting on the DMR doesn't make a difference
as this is only for JPEG and TIFF files.

I can fix the images one by on, if I open each DNG in PS and assign ICC
profile Adobe RGB 1998.

Anyone had this problem? Any fix? Is the DMR producing badly formed DNGs?

Eric
