Are .dng files compatible with iPhoto?

I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix dmg G2 camera. I have iPhoto '09 on my iMac, running OS 10.6.8. I was unable to load the RAW images from this camera to iPhoto, so I converted them to .dng files. I even downloaded the latest version of the dng Converter, but I am still unable to download them to iPhoto. I get the following error message:
"Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
I am pretty sure I was able to download .dng files in the past. Has something changed, or are .dng files just not compatible with iPhoto?

Not all dng-files are alike. I have used dng with iPhoto before, without problems. I could not find any documentation for dng in iPhoto, but for Aperture it is documented that dng works for  "DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the 'Convert to Linear Image' option turned off". Probably the same will hold for iPhoto.
In Snowleopard the following cameras are supported:

  • Are CS3 files compatible with CS and CS2 apps?

    I am upgrading from CS to CS3 Mac. Are files created in CS3 compatible with CS Photoshop, DW 8, Flash 8, Illustrator and ID?
    And, will uninstalling CS app files effect the CS3 install? This assumes I save certain components I want to keep from each of the older apps.
    I have already installed CS3.3 successfully.

    > Are files created in CS3 compatible with CS Photoshop
    Depends on the features you use. Choose maximize compatibility when saving.
    > DW 8
    For the most part, they should be.

  • Are Compressor files compatible with DVD Studio Pro?

    I am buying Final Cut Pro X and Compressor, but I am working on a school project that needs to be finished in DVD Studio Pro. Would the compressed files be compatible with DVD Studio Pro even though FCP7 and FCPX are not compatible?

    Yes.  Compressor 4 (or any version) will create the DVD-compliant files that are used in DVDSP.

  • What photo printers are compatible with iPhoto '08?

    On Apple's support site, they list the printer drivers that Leopard comes with, but I'm finding that just because Leopard comes with the driver, that doesn't necessarily mean the printer is compatible with iPhoto... unless my research has mislead me.
    What iPhoto-compatible printers are you all using, or which photo printers do you recommend?
    Thanks,

  • Are animated ellipses in OAM files compatible with DPS?

    I tried creating a basic animation with an ellipses flying into the stage. but for some reason the ellipses isn't displaying on Adobe Content Viewer.
    I've done the same thing with a rectangle, and the animation works fine.  Are animated ellipses in OAM files compatible with DPS?

    Ellipses animations on the Desktop Adobe Content Viewer are coming out as squares. Preview looks fine on the device.

  • PHP photo galleries that are compatible with iPhoto?

    I don't have MobileMe, but I do have a personal web site running PHP and would like to publish my photo albums on my web site as a good place to store them. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best PHP photo gallery software (preferably free) **that is compatible with iPhoto**?
    Of course I can always export everything out of iPhoto and then import them into ANY photo gallery software, but I'm hoping there's a good one out there that does have iPhoto support.

  • USB monitor not compatible with iPhoto or Maps?

    My AOC USB display will not show photos in iPhoto (other than thumbnails), nor will it show maps in the Maps app.  The manufacturer tells me this is something Apple needs to remedy.  Does anyone know of a third party solution?  I've heard there is some kind of hardware USB graphics adapter but I don't know if that will solve this problem.

    Peter:
    Do you have a memory card in the phone that you can transfer the photos to? If so, you can get an inexpensive card reader and use it. That's how I get photos from my LG onto my HD.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Olympus Evolt E-500 Digital SLR is compatible with iPhoto?

    Does anyone know if the Olympus Evolt E-500 Digital SLR is compatible with iPhoto ( I do not want to have to use Olympus software)? I know it is not listed on the official Apple list but am curious if anyone could speak from experience. I am looking at purchasing a digital SLR and am considering the Evolt E-500 but would like to understand its compatibility with iPhoto.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    RAW ORF files will not work as of yet. JPEG and TIFF are okay. I have CS2 and had to download a RAW beta from Adobe to process my RAW files. I knw that my friend had problems with CR2 files (Canon 350D) when Tiger was at 10.4.2. He would see the thumbnails in finder column view but Preview and iPhoto before the last update would not work. When 10.4.3 came all is well; so I ma hoping 10.4.4 will let us use ORF RAW files fromour E500. If you get a chance check out the forums at www.dpreview.com and the Olympus DSLR forum and the MAC tools forum. When I got my E500 I started shooting RAW right away. You will find more control in processing the the RAW to jpeg. Hope this helps.

  • DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

    Hi, 
    When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer.  I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown.   It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
    To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC.  Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
    I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem.  I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem.  I tried this and indeed it did fix it.  The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)".   This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be.  Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
    My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
    And, my thrid question is this.  If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
    Thanks -- Dan

    Hi David,
    You testing does not coincide with mine.  I have consistently kept "Use
    lossy compression" turned off.  With lossy turned off, it seems that using
    Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
    "Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
    Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
    spec containing "Fast Data Load".

  • Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

    I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well.  I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4.  Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails.  I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4.  Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5?  Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

    Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...
