I have small weird job that I usually would not do, but since this request came from a really good client I am helping them out. (Actually, it is for a my client's client, but I am contract through my client.)
Essentially I need to capture four images of where a building would be going up for the renderings. The rendering company does not want post production work done and has requested the raw files, which I am fine with.
The only issue are the lens cast corrections. So very few people, even retouchers, have any idea what they are, and I don't want to get into a conversation about this with my client, which would add confusion. My plan is just to apply the LCCs on my end and export the images as DNG files.
I've never done this before though. Will the LCC corrections be preserved and applied in the DNG files? I assume the rendering firm will be using LightRoom. Will this present a problem?
Last, do DNG files preserve all the meat in the files too? Will highlight and shadow recovery still be as good as it normally would be?
