dng photos
AnsweredHello,
When I load dng photos in RC, I got the thumbnails instead of the full resolution photos.
Any idea why ?
Thank you.

Dear suntchan,
As TON14 mentioned it is not recommended to use DNG format as it only uses it's thumbnail you can put RAW photos into RC and it will process them successfully but to save up space and have access to tweaking the raw file. I'd also suggest you to first convert and postprocess the images and then use JPGs.

I use a two fold approach, take images as raw and do a two step process, I increase contrast and sharpen slightly (without introducing more noise), if shadows are too black i lighten them and reduce any blown out areas, (modern dslr;s have fantastic ability to capture detail which can be recovered if you shoot raw). I then save those out as 95% quality jpegs for doing the solve. I then flatten the raw images to as neutral as possible using adobe raw in photoshop (aiming for as linear as possible) these 'flat' images are then use to texture the geometry got from the jpegs, the reason for that is to have a texture output file that the render package used can then apply its own tone curves to to keep as much data as possible.
