DNG Issue

[wirrah]

Since I updated to the latest version of LR Classic 13.0.1, Camera Raw 16.0 on Mac OS 13.6

exiftool 12.68 although 12.67 gave the same message. This is a DNG file converted, by LR, from a Fuji RAF file. Same issue occured with files converted from ORF (and real lens names!)

First time ever there has been an issue

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -preserve -lens="fujix" DSCF3986.dng

Code Select Expand

Error: [minor] DNG Version 1.7.0.0 not yet tested - DSCF3986.dng
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors

Lightroom 13 (released this month) generates DNGs in DNG version 1.7 (June 2023), whose spec can be downloaded from here:

I think that Exiftool message is saying that Exiftool hasn't been tested against DNG version 1.7.

Agreed. I'm getting around it by running it before I convert them to DNG since it won't update the DNG file. All good!

If you add the -m option then ExifTool will write these files, but it is safer to wait for ExifTool 12.69 in case Adobe screwed up the forward compatibility like they have in the past.

Much appreciated. Will wait for 12.69 but will probably have a play with the -m option on some test files.

I've read through the DNG 1.7 specification, and Adobe hasn't made any blunders this time so it is safe to use 12.68 with the -m option.

Works perfectly. Thanks again for your help.
