In reply to Andy Bracey.
Hi there, Andy. First, I want to thank you for the feedback. The primary reason why we decided to work on improving how we handle RAW and DNG files is because we had received many complaints from users indicating that their RAW files looked desaturated when importing into DeNoise AI. We take this sort of feedback seriously and when possible, we aim to provide fixes and improvements. This is one such case. When you have the RAW processing setting enabled and you import a RAW or DNG file, we will look at the metadata for the camera model. If the respective DCP camera profile exists, we’ll apply it the same way that Lightroom would, for example. We also apply the same basic tone curve that Adobe applies when you open a RAW file in Camera RAW.
We do all of this in an effort to improve the experience that our users have had problems with so far. But, we also understand that not everyone wants that sort of processing to be applied, which is why we have that setting available to be disabled. I’d also like to assure you that we’re constantly working on improving how we handle RAW and DNG files beyond this update. We understand that many of our users want to use their RAW files in a roundtrip workflow and we’re striving to make that process more streamlined and accurate.
