Unable to Import DNG's into Lightroom and Lightroom Classic #99

Per https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/processing-raw-image-files-from-a-raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera/#comments, I've produced viewable DNG's with macOS Preview, but I'm unable to import them into Lightroom or Lightroom Classic.

The raw output is generated through rpicam-raw, not raspistill, as cited in the article. I'm well aware that rpicam-still produces raw DNG's that LrC and Lr can import. I'm working on a time-lapse project. Using rpicam-raw, I can capture images at one every two seconds, using rpicam-stll, it's not fast enough, 7-9 seconds per image.

All the work I've done has been with the assistance of perplexity. An interesting experience!

The conclusion perplexity draws is that the DNG generated is valid and "the problem is almost certainly in the low‑level TIFF/DNG structure that PiDNG is writing (tag offsets, IFD order, or similar), not in the visible tags we've been tweaking."

Someone must have taken this path before. I'd appreciate any suggestions/guidance/pointers.

Thanks,

Don
