Windows 8 Elements 11 Problem with DNG and CR2 files

Have a Windows 8 machine with Elements 11 which has Camera Raw 7.4 installed and showing correctly in the editor. The Browser shows thumbnails of the DNG and CR2 files, but when an attempt is made to edit them, the editor opens but does not open the file. Same thing happens if I try to open the file using the File Open from the menu.
Also I have been through the help and forums and found an article about opening jpeg files as Camera Raw files (http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-jpeg-files-in-adobe-camera-raw-in-photoshop-element s/) and this does not work either.
Help please !

Disclaimer:  The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER.  I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails.  Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system.  Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it.  In any case, I find it works very well.

  • Dng and CR2 files display as icons in CS5

    Now I have installed CS5 on three machines - a new installation on WIN7, and here everything is alright - no problem!
    Two machines running XP wth a previous CS4 installation uninstalled show up in Bridge with this problem:
    dng and CR2 files display as icons!!
    Everything is updated, ACR plugin placed as should be, and Camera RAW is working fine when OPENING the file. It is only a display problem, but this is serious enough - you cannot go through your downloaded pictures.
    I have tried to follow a solution close to the one given for CS4:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
    but I am out of luck.
    Is it an XP problem, or has it something to do with the previous installation of CS4?
    Any suggestions will be great! I have searced, read, tried, searched, tried.... some share this problem, but I haven't seen any soloution.
    Thanks, Jan

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

  • In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

    Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview.  I have to open the file to be able to see it.  Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

    I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see  a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

  • Problem with Java and Zip Files

    Hello there everyone. I have a problem with trying to zip up directories with empty folders in them. They zip fine with my code, but according to winzip, the number of files in the archive is incorrect. It's supposed to have a total of 288 files in it, but when it's zipped up, it only says 284. I mention specifically the "empty directories" note because the zipping works fine without empty folders.
    Below is the code for the zip method:
    public static void zip(File[] list, File zipfile, File zipRoot)
         throws IOException {
          if (!zipfile.exists()) {
                   zipfile.createNewFile();
              else if (!zipfile.isFile()) {
                   throw new IOException("The zip file, " + zipfile.getAbsolutePath()
                             + " is not a file.");
              if (list.length == 0) {
                  LOG.error("The list of files to zip up is empty.");
              for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
                   if (!list.exists()) {
                        throw new IOException("The file or directory, " + list[i].getAbsolutePath()
                                  + " does not exist.");
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipfile);
              ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
              for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
                   if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                        LOG.debug(i + ": " + list[i].getName());
                   String entryName = getRelativeName(list[i], zipRoot);
                   if (list[i].isDirectory()){
                        if (list[i].listFiles().length == 0){
                             ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(entryName + "/");
                             zos.putNextEntry(entry);
                   else {
                        ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(entryName);
                        zos.putNextEntry(ze);
                        byte[] buffer = new byte[8096];
                        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(list[i]);
                        int read = 0;
                        read = fis.read(buffer);
                        if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                        LOG.debug("\tFound " + read + " bytes.");
                        if (read == -1){
                             //empty file, but add it for preservation.
                             //zos.write(buffer,0,0);
                        while (read != -1) {
                             zos.write(buffer, 0, read);
                             read = fis.read(buffer);
                        fis.close();
                        zos.closeEntry();
              zos.close();
    The files look like they're there, but I need the system to be able to determine the number correctly. 
    Here's the interesting thing:  It zips the files, and then when I use the size() method for zip files in java, it says 284 files.  But when I unzip, it says 288 again.  It's like there's files missing when compressed, but when decompressed, they return.  Note that the files are actually there.  If I open the archive in a third party app such as Winzip AND Winrar AND IZarc, they all show 288 files.  Any idea what would make the number of files appear incorrectly in a zip file when zipped by java with the code above?  Thanks in advance.

    I figured out the problem. When zipping files in windows using winzip, it doesn't explicitly count folders as a "file/folder" as a file in itself. It will create the folders for files to go in, but the folder itself will not be 'counted' when you query the info of the file itself. You have more control of the zip file in java, and can count the folder as a file or not.

  • Stacking of DNG and CR2 files

    When creating DNG files, I prefer to leave the CR2 files in the same directory and not embedded in the DNG files.
    This prevents the DNG files from doubling in size and thus prevents them from taking twice as long to open/read/write/etc.
    However, LR does not recognise IMG_1234.DNG and IMG_1234.CR2 as being the same like it does IMG_1234.CR2 and IMG_1234.JPG.
    It would be nice for it to automatically stack photos like this:
    DNG
    CR2 (or other native raw)
    JPG

    I doubt many use the same schema for both DNGs and RAWs in the same folder. For one, it'd be too easy to in some cases edit the RAW, and others editing the DNG. One reason I never shoot RAW + JPEG; having all three would be unworkable for me.

  • Problems with Canon 7D .cr2 files

    Hello, this question may have already been asked but I have been unable to find an answer -- if it is in another discussion, please feel free to direct me there.
    I have .cr2 files from a Canon 7D that produce significantly different results in Lightroom 3.3 versus Canon's Digital Photo Professional (3.7.1.1) software -- that is, the LR3.3 results show much poorer quality than DPP, with terrible grain throughout. There is also a significant color shift. These results carry through to output files (e.g. 16-bit TIFF, no compression), rendering Lightroom essentially unusable for developing my RAW .cr2 files, since they are not being rendered at highest quality.
    Here is a 1:1 comparison below. This image below is a more extreme example to demonstrate the issue, shot at ISO 3200 f/5.6 1/100 sec.
    And, albeit slightly more subtle, the grain is still clearly present in images shot at ISO 100.
    I previously used ACR in CS4 to review my .cr2 files when I purchased my 7D fall 2009, but found the grain so distracting that I switched to DPP with much cleaner results. I chalked the grain in ACR up to an early pass at reading the 7D .cr2's. When upgrading to LR3 I expected the render to be better refined, only to find it as bad as ACR CS4.
    If the grain is a permanent fixture of .cr2 RAW files in the ACR engine, LR3 is pretty much worthless to me. I had hoped to be able to quickly catalog/review and develop using the LR interface, instead of manually cataloging images, then going to DPP for TIFF output, and then Bridge/ACR for development.
    Any insight or advice on a good fix would be much appreciated.

    What noise reduction are you applying in LR?
    LR's noise reduction in LR 3 is just about the best I have ever seen and certainly far superior to anything in DPP. If you are just looking at the initial preview then only a minimum amount of colour noise reduction and no luminance noise reduction is applied by default, where as DPP applies considerable noise reduction based on in camera settings. LR previews will not match DPP's inital previews of the files, but the tools in LR enable you to produce far better final results.

  • Problems with JMF and audio files.

    Sofware:
    Java Version 1.5.0_03
    JMF Version 2.1.1e
    Windows XP SP2
    I have a application that consists of 2 parts. The first is an editor for creating exercises, like multiple-choice, matching and so on. The second part is a &#8220;client&#8221;, used to solve the exercises. The client uses Java Webstart.
    When I include audio clips in the exercises they play just fine using the client, but in the editor program I just get a clicking sound, and then the application stops responding.
    The strange part is that the editor and client use the exact same code to playback audio clips.
    The old version of the editor (developed for Java 1.3.x) works just fine under Java 1.3.x, but when the same byte-code is launched under Java 1.5 I get the same problem (clicking sound and then the application stops responding).
    Any suggestions?

    When installing JMF, two new packages are stored in the jre\lib\ext folder : jmf.jar and sound.jar.
    Sound.jar contains the same api that are in the packages sound.midi and sound sampled contained in jre.
    Maybe these new api are an improved version but i noticed some trouble playing sound and i delete sound.jar file, now it works fine.
    Try this, maybe you had the same problem.

  • [solved] Problem with Amarok and flac-files

    When I installed Arch for the first time a couple of months ago, I was happy to find that some flac-files that didn't play in Amarok on my Debian installation was now played back perfectly. However, upon trying to play these files today, Amarok refuses to play them. I get an error stating that there is no suitable demux plugin for the files. Other flacs play back fine though, and the problem files play back perfectly in mplayer.
    Another thing I would be very happy to resolve is that I have a few files that use japanese in their tags. IIRC these displayed correctly in Amarok on my Debian install, but in Arch all I see is squares where there should be japanese, despite me installing both arphic-ukai and arphic-uming packages. What am I missing?
    All help appreciated!

    Your tip worked like a charm and the files now play perfectly in Amarok once again.
    I solved my second problem by installing the ttf-sazanami package from AUR and adding both sazanami gothic and sazanami mincho as substitute fonts for Sans Serif (my default font) in qtconfig (not sure that I really needed both though, but hey, it works now ).

  • Indexing Problem with FILE_DATASTORE and .pdf files

    Hello all,
    Do any of you have an example showing how to index .pdf files through FILE_DATASTORE? I am able to successfully index text and .doc files but not a .pdf file. Below is the script that I use to index my files:
    create index myindex on mytable(docs)
    indextype is ctxsys.context
    parameters ('datastore COMMON_DIR filter ctxsys.null_filter');
    I am using Oracle 8.1.6
    Thanks you!!!
    -garrett

    I don't think that you are able to index anything else then plain ascii texts, because you are not using the INSO filter.
    Use preferences like this:
    exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference('NO_PATH');
    exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('NO_PATH','FILE_DATASTORE');
    exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference('MY_LEXER');
    exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('MY_LEXER','BASIC_LEXER');
    exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','MIXED_CASE', 'NO');
    exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','INDEX_THEMES','NO');
    exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','INDEX_TEXT', 'YES');

  • Problem with Report and distribution file

    Hi.
    I have a report that create the paycheck for my customer's employe.
    My first group on the report is the email adresse of the employe, so i can cut the report end send it by mail to the said employe.
    95% of the time it's working perfectly. But when i encouter a blank adresse or simply no result (no line return by the query)
    then the report execute, and crash giving me this error.
    access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
    REP-0177: Erreur au cours de l'exécution sur serveur éloigné
    Paramètre de référence 'REFADRCOU' non valide dans la liste de diffusion
    Sorry i did not find the equivalent in english. It say that the email field (REFADRCOU) that i am using for the TO is invalid and make the whole report crash.
    I'm not sure how i could deal with this.
    I had a idea of executing the query before report, in the afterpform, and if i have no result, add a blank line with select XXX from dual for exemple so it would have at least 1 row and won't crash. but it's not very elegant.
    Any idea or suggestion on how i could handle this problem.

    Hi.
    Thanks for answering.
    I solved the problem.
    First I stored the file into a string variable.
    And on that variable I do
    some processes. (Analyze the read
    bytes and add more text to the original file)
    Before I did that processes on
    .Text property on the object.
