Installing DNG converter in CS4 and Lightroom 2.o

I am using Photoshop CS4 And Lightroom 2 on a windows 63bit platform. I have upgraded my camera to a Nikon 5200 and need to upgrade the camera raw file. I have downloaded camera raw 7.3 and it went through an install process for Light rpoom. However, Lightroom and photoshop still does not open the raw files from the new camera. What am I missing?

CS4 and LR 2.x are not compatible with ACR 7.3. You will need to Upgrade to CS6 or LR 4 or both to use your camera's raw files.
Or, you can download Adobe's Free DNG Converter and convert your NEF's to DNG files that are backwards compatible with all versions of Lightroom and PS back to CS2 (if memory serves).

  • CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

    CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

    Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • If I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

    if I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

    Ok. That explains 8.3. I know some want to stay with 10.6 because they have software or hardware that won't work on anything later.

  • Q. Does Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 run safely on Snow Leopard?

    I have an iMac OS X v10.6.2 I use Photoshop CS2 but would like to upgrade to CS4 and Lightroom 2 however I continue to hear that there are numerous problems; crashes, etc. Is this still the case or have these problems been resolved?

    LR 2 seems fine on my imac - great in 64-bit mode.
    Photoshop CS4 has some serious issues for me — I've been shipping off 3-4 crash reports to Adobe and Apple +per day+. I'd recommend holing off until PS CS5 comes out, maybe in a few months. It should be 64-bit, so it can use more than 4GB of RAM. And PS CS5 will hopefully dedicate more than one processor core to saving files.
    If you just can't wait, you'll want to be running 10.6.2. There are some fixes to the OS resolving a font issue w/ Menlo and file saving issues with PS.

    There are some printer drivers that do not work correctly with Apple's new printing path that PS and LR2 use. If you let us know what printers you are printing to we can probably tell you if they will work properly or not or point you to new drivers or other information.

  • DNG Converter 5.6 and Canon S90 RAW Images

    This has been an ongoing query with the Adobe Customer Support Centre since November 12 last year. Refer case no #0181279281. Although the documentation that accompanies DNG 5.6 states that the Canon S90 is a supported camera, the converted images come out far too saturated and are not usable. Has anyone been able to rectify this problem? I use Photoshop CS3.

    …if I upgrade to ACR 5.6, will the image look the same (on my monitor) as when it is opened in ACR 4.6?
    Rob,
    Well, for starters, you cannot open the CR2 in ACR 4.6 directly.  You know that, of course, otherwise you wouldn't have to mess with the DNG Converter in the first place.  
    If you use ACR 5.6 and if you have correctly installed the additional camera profiles that will get added to ACR 5.6 once you correctly install the DNG Converter 5.6, you will have a variety of choices to open your CR2 file or a DNG derived from that file.  Even the "Adobe Standard" profile for your particular will most likely improve the rendition, but you can choose the "Camera Faithful" or any of the other five profiles specifically provided for your camera model.
    Note that the screen shot is a medium-resolution JPEG only.
    This ACR rendition was generated in ACR 5.6 with the "Adobe Standard" profile
    and an Exposure correction of +1.45.
    Also note that only the profiles for the specific camera that generated the raw file will show in the profile menu of the Camera Calibration tab at any given time.  Other cameras will cause that profile menu to show different profiles.  In actuality, the installation of the DNG Converter adds a gazillion profiles for all supported cameras, so it's a good thing that only the camera-model-specific ones show. 
    This ACR rendition was generated in ACR 5.6 with the "Camera Faithful" profile
    and an Exposure correction of +1.45.
    The rendition of the image will be different with each of the profiles (as you can see above), but even so, I doubt any of those profiles will match the rendition of the totally obsolete ACR 4.6.  The ACR 5.6 rendition is bound to be better.
    Each new version of ACR includes improvements, enhancement and bug fixes that are not publicized or even admitted. 
    If you have mastered the use of ACR, you can match the rendition of just about any raw converter and any other profile, especially if you calibrate your camera, which is extremely easy to do in ACR 5.6.  You can save as many presets as you want.
    That's why I strongly recommend Jeff Schewe's book.  As far as I'm concerned, it's required reading.
    Finally, there are many other reasons to upgrade to ACR 5.6, like the spot Adjustment Brush and the Targeted Adjustment Tool (TAT).
    Don't take my word for it, download the CS4 trial version and update that to ACR 5.6 (it comes with 5.0, also very obsolete).  You can keep different versions of Photoshop on your disk.  On the Mac, you can even run different versions simultaneously by launching the older version(s) first.
    Uninstalling CS4, though, may mangle your CS3 install, so keep that in mind.  My feeling is, though, that once you use CS4, you won't ant to look back at CS3.  DISCLAIMER:  I have no connection to Adobe whatsoever.
    I cannot speak to Lightroom because I do not use it, for a number of reasons that are not relevant to your issue.
    Respectfully,

  • Compatibility between Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 5 on a Mac

    Hi,
    A beginners question:
    I am about to buy a Canon EOS 1200D Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens. I am currently trying out Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5. I have Ps CS4 and I am thinking of buying Lr 5 in the future after the trial and I want to work with RAW photographs in the main.
    Are there any compatibility issues that I should know about with the software versions I have/might buy and the RAW images taken by this model of camera? I need to have the answer(s) to this question before I buy the camera and the correct software.
    For your information, I intend using a late 2013 MacBook Pro with a retina screen and 16 Gig RAM.
    Many thanks,
    David

    The EOS 1200D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.4 and Lightroom 5.4
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw 8.4 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and newer
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    So you'll be fine with Lightroom 5.4 or later.
    However PS CS4 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.4 and never will be. So you'll either have to upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud.
    Or you can use the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all EOS 1200D Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS4

  • DNG Converter 5.2 and Camera Profiles

    Hi!
    I tried to search for an answer but did not find any.
    Question - how and when DNG Converter will use Camera Profiles?
    How do I specify which profile to use?
    I assume it can use them - version 5.2 comes bundled with them...
    Тhanks for the help!
    P.S. Since new version has installer, I'd suggest to create uninstaller too.

    >This somehow implies that DNG Converter reads settings from installed Lightroom. I'm not sure that this is the case - DNG Converter seems to be completely independent product.
    Yes, it does...for the camera model, if you have modified the Camera Raw Default in either Lightroom or Camera Raw then DNG Converter will use the user specified default. If there is no user set default, then of course will use the regular Camera Raw Defaultwhich in the case of 5.2 is now Adobe Standard. (I can't remember what version of DNG Converter started reading the CR prefs).
    >If I give DNG file to someone, who uses DNG-compatible program (other than Adobe's), do I have to give him all profiles as well?
    If you are using a "custom" profile other than Adobe Standard, the behavior is to embed that profile in the DNG so it is self describing. The only complicating factor is what version of Camera Raw/Lightroom the recipient is using. If they are using a version prior to Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw 4.5, then those older versions ignore the embedded profiles and will use the earlier simple profiles that have been used since DNG/ACR was introduced.
    As for checking on updating the DNG Profiles in the future, DNG Converter, as it's rev'ed, will include any new profiles that come out and will update them for any already installed and add any new profiles available for a given camera. The odds of updating existing DNG Profiles is not largethat's what the 2 beta rounds was for, to shake them out. But it's possible. It's more likely that profiles for new cameras will be added.

  • Trouble installing DNG Converter 7.2

    Hi guys,
    Can get all the way through the install process for DNG converter 7.2, but when I try to launch it I just get this error message every time (and it reoccurs every time I click Relaunch or ignore). I'm on a MB Pro running 10.5.8.
    EDIT: Was running a previous version with no problems, and 7.1 works as well. Problem only lies with the new 7.2 update.

    Mayanbee,
    Adobe has acknowledged that no version of the DNG Converter above 6.4 runs on Tiger 10.4.x.  That is now official, even though not all Adobe pages reflect it.  Initially, Adobe had only stated that no version above 6.4 would run on Power Macs, but later it was acknowledged that it won't run on Tiger regardless of CPU.

    Correct, starting with DNG Converter 6.5, Mac OS 10.4 is no longer supported.  (The Adobe.com documentation needs to be updated.)
    Most likely this is or will be the fate of the DNG Converter 7.x in reference to Leopard too.

  • Updated camera raw / DNG converter for CS4 compatible with D800 NEF?

    I have just bought a D800 but cannot convert my NEF files into DNG. I have Photoshop CS4 with latest camera raw updates available. I see in the forum that an update is available in the lab but only for CS5. Shall we expect an update for CS4 as well? Thanks

    No.  There will be no more ACR updates for Photoshop CS4.  That version is no longer supported.  You can download the DNG converter and convert your images to digital negative files that can then be opened in the ACR that you already have.  Since your camera is so new I'm not sure if it's even supported by the DNG converter.  You might have to wait for the next update.
    Your other alternative would be to upgrade your Photoshop.  Of course, that will cost a little money.  But not nearly as much as your new camera did.

  • Transferring Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom from Macbook to new Imac

    Hello all,
    I am currently running Photoshop CS4 extended version 11.0.1 and Lightroom version 2.3 on an early Macbook model 1.1, I have the original install disks for Lightroom, but when upgrading to CS4 extended I downloaded the upgrade from the Adobe website. I am receiving a new Imac this month and would like to explore my options for correctly transferring (migrating?) these programs to the new Imac. My search on this forum reveals that migration assistant may not be the best option for these two programs, any insight is appreciated.

    LR won't be a problem, just install it on the new computer. As long as you don't use them on both systems at the same time you won't violate the licensing terms.  If you LR was an update you will also need the key from the 1.x version.
    For PS CS4 just run it on the MacBook and de-activate it (Help->Deactivate...). Then download the PS CS4 package from Adobe and install it on your new system using the same license keys you used to install it on the MacBook. Since you indicated you upgraded to CS4 (from what version you didn't say) you will need the license key from the original (CS, CS2, CS3??) and the license key to the upgrade to CS4.
    After installation of PS CS4 you may also need to manually install updates as it is often the case that the Adobe updater doesn't recognize the fact that updates are available.

  • I downloaded DNG Converter 8.7 and as a standalone app it doesn't see RAW files from my 7D Mark 2.

    I don't want to upgrade from Elements 11 yet.
    When I got my 60D I had to install the DNG converter and after a few uses, Elements 11 started to see them too.
    On a 64 bit Win7 PC.

    When you use Select the images to convert, you don't want to actually open the folder, just click on the name of the folder in Content Pane of windows explore, not in the Navigation Pane.

  • Camera Raw and DNG Converter for PSE10 and PS CS5.5

    I recently bought a Nikon D5200.  I have Photoshop CS5.5 at home and PS Elements 10 at work.  I had to download a DNG coverter in order to open my RAW files (NEF).  I have 2 questions: 1) Which are the latest updates that will work with each of these programs (the listings on the Adobe Download pages are confusing) and 2) Do any of these updates allow a new NEF file to be opened directly without the extra step of DNG conversion?  Bit of a pain.
