It's the latest camera that's the problem, not the latest LR.

When a new camera is released, third party software must be updated to support it. Camera manufacturers don't provide third party software companies with their color science. Adobe and others have to reverse engineer it. They have to buy a camera and create the camera profiles themselves.

Adobe support for just about every new camera ever released lags the release date for the camera by six weeks to a full calendar quarter.

What remains true:

Anyone converting RAW in June 2022 to DNG is wasting their time and effort. Just import those RAW files directly into LR and work on the file in the native and supported format.

Here's an example. The Panasonic Lumix GH6 was introduced on 2/21/2022 and was for sale (i.e.; available at dealers) in mid-March. It was mid-May before the release of ACR 14.3 enabled raw editing of GH6 .RW2 files.

But even if this is the case you would convert to DNG on import. The OP’s bug was when converting already imported files that he’d made changes to.

I still don't see the value of converting to dng after import.

I feel the same way plus you then have 2 files to keep.

Yeah, for cameras LrC/ACR supports, there is none.

I agree. I was addressing those that said converting to DNG was sometimes needed for new raw formats. I was saying that wasn’t the OP’s situation. His converting to DNG is superfluous.

Yes, I was emphasizing that point.
