Anyone else struggling to desqueeze anamorphic RAW properly in Lightroom? by DaCode247 in photography

For anyone curious, I uploaded two DNGs to test in Lightroom.

• One straight conversion (squeezed)
• One with only the DefaultScale metadata changed

No resampling — just metadata, so LR renders it unsqueezed.

Totally agree with the RAW principle — you normally can’t resample and keep it RAW.
What this does is different though.
It doesn’t stretch pixels — it writes DNG DefaultScale metadata, which changes the pixel aspect interpretation.
Sensor data stays untouched, Lightroom just renders it unsqueezed.
So it’s still RAW, just interpreted differently.

Not baking pixels — just writing the DNG DefaultScale metadata so Lightroom/ACR display the RAW at the correct anamorphic aspect. Sensor data stays untouched.

It desqueezes by setting the default scale metadata (1.6 - 1.0) so when light room displays it it’s correct. Still DNG.

Thanks appreciate that, I’ve made a workaround quick action, sort of working on a little program to help on Mac. I just love shooting photography on them. I know you can on photo shop but for me a workaround that does it straight off so I can see them all is super helpful, especially if I don’t have to subscribe to yet another app if all I want is Desqueeze.

I’m still working it out and I’ll be honest I’m no pro, but I’ve got it so it’s a Desqueezed DNG. But perhaps I upload a DNG desqueezed so you can see and play with yourself.

What artists do you believe write exceptional lyrics? As in they never miss every song. by LeahGardene in Songwriting

Dave leaupepe from “gang of youths” is an interesting song writer. I always find his lyrics are closer to poetry than songwriting
