Hi, can anyone let me know why there is such a drastic difference between the color of TIFF files stacked vs DNG files stacked? Same settings across both runs. I feel like I am missing something here. Any help would be appreciated!

Color differences
Re: Color differences
Hi Alex,
Please provide more context, what are these JPG images? Screenshots? From Helicon Focus or some other software? Of the source images or the rendering result? How were the TIFF and DNG source images acquired?

Re: Color differences
Hi,
As labeled in the post, the JPGs show the different outputs using TIFF and DNG files. Stacked in helicon focus. The TIFF and DNG files were exported to Helicon Focus from CaptureOne using the 'Edit With' option.
Re: Color differences
Have you looked at how other software displays these exact DNG and TIFF files? You can right-click any source file in Helicon Focus and select "Open containing folder" to gain easy access. You could even try importing these images back to Capture One to see how it itself renders them.
Re: Color differences
These were exported from CaptureOne so that's how they look. Same thing in photoshop. Is there any reason there would be such a difference between using those two different file types?
Re: Color differences
Have you tried viewing these exact exported files in Capture One? Because they are exported, they are converted from original files, they are not the original files and they may very well look different from the originals due to how Capture One converts them.
The difference likely comes from the fact that DNG is a raw format and TIFF is not. There are many ways to render a raw file, and the way Capture One renders them to TIFF is different from how the Adobe DNG Converter renders them (which is what Helicon Focus uses).
The important thing is that as long as you save the result to DNG, you are free to choose your own setting for developing these DNGs later
Do you mean that Photoshop also shows them differently?
