Shadows & Highlights setting in default profile will not be used for conversion

Software RawTherapee

Hi to all
First of all I want to express my thanks to everyone involved in this software!

RT Version is: 5.4-1015-gcef5d1277 on WIN10
Hi, this is my first post here :slight_smile:

And now for the problem
in the pp3 I use as default profile there is this section:
[Shadows & Highlights]
Enabled=true
Highlights=10
HighlightTonalWidth=70
Shadows=30
ShadowTonalWidth=30
Radius=40
Lab=false

After applying it to an image, the pp3 only contains this:
[Shadows & Highlights]
Enabled=false
Highlights=0
HighlightTonalWidth=70
Shadows=0
ShadowTonalWidth=30
Radius=40
Lab=false

… no matter if the RAF or the Iridient-converted DNG is used.

I copied this section from a converted image, so there shouldn’t be an error

hi @Sunhillow, can you upload the full pp3 file? thanks!

hi @agriggio! Thanks for looking

this is the profile I use as default:
Default.X.LUT.iri.provia.pp3 (2.9 KB)

It uses the Fuji X Film Simulation LUT

Hi, the problem is that you have a wrong Version entry. You should replace Version=327 with Version=344. Then, you have to edit the value of the key FlatFieldClipControl, because in recent versions it is not a boolean but an int (so, just replace false with 0). After this, it should work.

If you are wondering, yes, we do need a notification mechanism to warn the user about what is going wrong with their pp3’s…

Hi Alberto, thanks a lot! It works perfect now :wink:
So, in future I should better cut out the relevant sections of a working profile than to edit an old one.
