IDimager5/Lightroom 4

[MrDill]

I'm new to all of this DAM stuff. I am ingesting my images off my camera, into my computer with ImageIngesterPro. Along with renaming, they are being automatically converted into DNG files in the process. I just started doing some editing on them with Lightroom 4.1 . Now I am wanting to keyword them and catalog them in IDimager 5. I noticed though, that my edits in Lightroom are not showing up on my DNG files in IDimager.

My question is then, am I stuck doing all my editing in IDimager if I want to see what was done to the DNG files? I am guessing it will show the derivatives such as jpegs and tiff files properly, no matter what software made them.

Apperently the Lightroom PIE instructions can not be read by IDI.
Can you change your workflow?
1. Ingest into lightroom with IIP > RAW (not DNG yet)
2. basic editing
3. Convert to DNG and catalog into IDI

I'm convinced all editing will show up now.

Second option:
Perhaps IDI can rebuild the previews? this is an option in the DAM i use (Expression Media). Changes made with photoshop for example are showing up after rebuilding the previews.
