DNG Files Greyed Out

[fdickenson@me.com]

After editing and converting in LR, my DNG files are greyed out. Any suggestions why?

I expect that the embedded previews look that way.  Can you share one of the files?

Here is one of the DNGs that is greyed out.

Thanks.  The embedded JPEG is gray and washed out.  PM uses the embedded previews in DNG files for display.  So since the image data looks like that in reality, it's going to look that way in PM as well.

Thanks Kirk, however, the files look fine in LR. Do you have any idea why? Also when I click on the .dng file and choose "get info" the preview shows up fine. I am attaching a screenshot

LR is rendering the DNG according to your adjustments.  Preview is rendering the DNG with its own rendering system.

Why the preview that your DNG file has doesn't reflect the adjustments you made in LR is a question for Adobe.  I can't tell you why the preview in the DNG file is rendered incorrectly.

Thank you for your help! I converted the files to .DNG again in LR and voila, they all appear fine in PM.
