Imported DNG's don't display Camera Raw adjustments

[Garth Wunsch]

Workflow:
Imported images, card to HD, opened in Bridge, renamed etc, opened in Camera RAW and created final images. Converted to DNG, imported into LR3. Images do not display in LR3 with Camera Raw manipulations and when exported as jpeg's, the they also don't have the rendered files, just a conversion of the RAW image. I think I'm missing a check the checkbox someplace???

How exactly did you convert to DNG, Garth? Through ACR? That should save the adjustments into the DNG, which should then be read by LR. You're not applying a Develop preset which resets the adjustments, are you?

Hi John... I used Adobe's DNG converter. I'm new to LR, but I don''t see where there are any presets enables. It's like the little files are missing to tell the image how it is supposed to look. When my EM2 catalog corrupted and lost 2,500 images, it also said some of the metadata may be missing from the other 22,500 images that were left and I should go check each one out... yeah right! It seems like the metadata might be missing from all of them. OUCH! They come in looking fine, and then as I scroll them across the bottom of the screen they go BLAHHH. How's that for high tech terminology? I am importing the images from the "corrupted " catalog. I think I have to bring all 55 DVD's in from their offsite storage and use them to rebuild the  LR catalog and replace the source files.

Ah, that sounds like you might be writing metadata to one place with ACR (eg, sidecars, or a central cache), then looking elsewhere with LR. I haven't looked into or thought about this problem too much, but if you still haven't figured that out, I'd explore that route.
