Best Raw file converter

I am unable to download my Canon 6D RAW files via Lightroom CS4 and tried to get a DNG converter that will work.
Please advise the optimum version I need to download to get my RAW files converted. Many thanks Bev

The 6D was supported since Lightroom 4.3 and Camera Raw 7.3.

Raw file converter for Canon EOS 5D Mark iii ?

When will Aperture 3 have a raw file converter for Canon's new 5D model? Should I work with JPEGs in the mean while or is there another better solution?
Best regards, Markus

Markus,
see this long thread
Canon 5D Mk III - RAW update?
I would shoot in raw+jpeg while you are waiting and use the Adobe dng converter,
see Adobe's Camera Raw Converter
Then, when the raw is supported by Aperture, reprocess your masters.

Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

Since installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
Somebody else the same problem?

I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.

Where can I download raw file converter for panasonic gh4

Is aperture raw file converter compatible with Panasonic GH4

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4? That camera is not yet supported, see the list of currently available RAW support: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
It usually takes a few month after the release of a new camera for the RAW support to be available. As a work-around, use the software that comes with the camera (probably SILKYPIX Developer Studio), to convert your RAW to a different lossless format (e.g. TIFF), while you are waiting.

Strange colour spots (red & green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it?

Strange colour spots (red&green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

I use "Export" function to convert the picture from RAW format to JPEG format, resolution 240 pixels per inch. Strange red dots appeared in the area supposed to be dark grey, as per the picture below. The red colour does not appeared in the original RAW picture when viewing from Lightroom, only exist in the JPEG it created. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

RAW files converted to JPGs - why?

Pics shot in RAW format in my Minolta A2 camera appear correctly as MRW files of 11.6mb each when imported into iPhoto. However, when I look for them in the iPhoto Library (in their correct catalogue position under year/month/date) they are displayed as JPG files. This used not to happen, and other iPhoto users say their files are corrctly tagged as RAW. Conversion to JPG of course means loss of quality with compression, negating the whole purpose of shooting in RAW. I should be able to import photos from the iPhoto Library into Photoshop as RAW files for processing there before export and any compression. Something seems to have changed, but I can't figure out what. Any suggestions?

First off, editing a RAW image results in the modified photo being saved in JPG format. The original RAW image is still there however. If you want something lossless, check your iPhoto preferences. There is a setting that causes edited RAW images to be converted to TIFF, or you can have it send RAW files to an external editor. Note that RAW is just an electronic negative format. In order to do anything with it anyway, there is a rasterization phase that converts it to JPEG or TIFF or some other format for editing and printing.
Bring up iPhoto help, and search for keywords "edit RAW". There is an item "Working with photos taken in RAW format" that will give you more information.

RAW file converting to jpg?

How to I convert a RAW file to a JPG format without opening the RAW file in ACR?
Richard Cooper

Colin, I started shooting RAW very near the beginning of my digital experience, way back in 2002 (!). Back then, I simply ran them through the Canon converter with no adjustments; ACR wasn't an option in Elements at the time. However, I did save all those RAW originals, and, on occasion, I've gone back to some of them, adjusted them with ACR and Elements, and wound up with a better edited photo.
On the other hand, the ones I took in JPEG before discovering RAW....they are what they are, permanently blown highlights and all.
Disk space, DVD's and even CF cards (1 GB are now $50 in some US stores) are so attractively priced now that I don't even think twice about whether or not to shoot in RAW. The camera is set on that 24/7.
Just one person's approach...

D300 RAW files converted to TIFF Anomally

Ok....heres the thing! I recently spent 2 months in Argentina working on shootshorses.com. I used a Nikon D300 RAW (12mb) and downloaded everything (70 gig) to an 80 gig ipod. Aperture at this point could not read the nikon nef file so viewed them in nikon view nx, picked 50 or so I wanted, converted to 16 bit tiff on desktop and imported to Aperture. (now 77mb files)
When upgrade for aperture 2 came out, installed and attached ipod and imported all the work. Started working on some of the same images in the new projects in order to uplaod more to web site. wanted to lift and stamp changes from tiff files and apply to freshly imported raw duplicate files then delete much larger tiff files. Point...the identical stamped changes make a completely different image.
Checked the new raw file against the previous tiff file with no adjustments on either, on screen (apple 30 inch) and the tiff files blow the raw masters away for depth and sharpness. do not understand why as they are both the original Raw file from the ipod.....Question is, why is this? Suddenly the raw files really look digital and the tiff files have a depth that approach the work done on the kodak DCS pro.... and that is a bench mark!
If anyone has any explanations it would be great. Many thanks
A perplexed David Sinclair.

AHHH... . amazed there is such a notable difference.... simple really. Only problem ,natural I suppose, Capture nx being same manufacturer, but makes me ask what else might be missed in the way of picture quality with Aperture. Many thanks for your answer

Canon 6D RAW file converter

I am a PS CS5 user and recently purchased the new Canon 6D. I have downloaded the RAW files from my camera, but PS won't read them (Canon software will). I was given the sugestion to convert them from RAW to DNG with the Adobe convertor so I can use them in PS CS5. It looks like the Adobe RAW convertor does not support the new Cannon 6D files yet. What are my options to have PS read my RAW files other than shooting in JPEG? Thanks!

I am having the same problem! I figured out how to convert but now a new problem! Can someone explain this...
The photo that I have taken is 19.1 MB
I had to download the DNG converter for my CS5 to read the file.
When I take the photo into CS5 my Camera RAW window opens up (before it goes directly into Photoshop).
I tweak my pic and then hit open...it opens in photoshop and then I save my file to jpg....and the file size is now 9MB...why is this happening? Why is it going from 19 to 10?! I dont want to lose that much?
Can someone help out? This may be an easy fix?!

Raw file converter not opening automatically in Elements 12.

I have upgraded my Elements 9 to Elements 12. I used to be able to open a raw file directly into the raw editor in Elements 9. With Elements 12 I click to open the raw file with Elements 12 but Elements opens into the basic editor with no picture opening. I then have to select Open Camera Raw from the file menu and select the photo again. The photo then opens.
Is there a setting i can change so that elements 12 opens directly into the raw editor?
Thanks.

There is no so such thing as "Open Camera Raw". Look again; it's Open in Camera Raw, which is for jpegs and tiffs that you want to edit in the raw converter, not a way to open the raw converter itself.
So when you double click a raw file in the finder, what happens? And what camera are these files from?

Raw files converted to binary docs (exec). Any ideas on how to get them back to raw?

Ok. Short and sweet first post here. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I've done this same process on jpegs many times without issue. This time I forgot where I was in my workflow and tried a batch rename on my raw files.
I selected all raw files in a folder, went to tools --> batch rename and entered my file naming sequence as I wanted it to read. Hit enter and watched the file names change correctly BUT the actual files were converted to "binary documents" and I can't figure out how to get them back to raw. My thumbs are gone. If I click on one of the files, the exec file tries to load in terminal.
What happened to my raw files? There are 255 images here from a wedding that I would rather not edit all over again. Please help!
Mac OSX 10.5.7
Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9

Ok. The files don't read any particular extension as seen in my previous attachment. F2 brightens my monitor. It is not associated with any other shortcut. Right click --> rename (not batch) brings the thumbnail back but without the edits. All I did in the beginning was batch rename a folder full of raw images plus 3 psd files. Nothing else. You can see that "new extension" is selected in the top field of the batch rename window. is this the mistake and how can I recover my edits if it is.
There are 253 edited images in this folder. Manual renaming will take ages. Editing all of them again is also making me ill. I was prepping the files for client submission which is due today when this happened.

IOS 5 Raw files converted to jpeg when imported

Prior to upgrading to iOS 5, when I imported my RAW images from my camera via the camera connection kit, they were not converted, re-sized, or altered.
Since iOS 5, my RAW files are re-sized, EXIF Data stripped, DPI set to 72, and converted to a Jpeg.
How do I stop this from happening?

It appears that I am having a simliar problem with Exif data. When a photo is cropped in IOS5 it removes the Exif data including the GPS coordinages (this is how I noticed). Perpahs the new OS isn't handeling Exif data correctly. Response from Apple?

Need help with Raw file converter for ps6 on windows xp

I had to re-install my CS6 on my computer and now I can't get any of the raw files open. I'm not on the cloud and am running Windows xp, service pack 3. Can anyone help?

Thanks Richard. I made sure that I was totally up to date via help-updates on all programs (cs6 & bridge) and it still doesn't work. Any other thoughts? I remember vaguely that I had this problem before and had to download a new file. I tried looking on Adobe site and the suggestion is the raw conversion 8.3. Downloaded that (said it was for windows xp, serv. pack 3) and I can see the file but when I click on that it comes up as a .pf file and I"m not sure where to go from here ... or if I have now messed up everything really well.
Yes, XP is on the way out of my life as I need a new computer so this maybe the push that I need. But in the meantime, I really need to process some images.
Any other thoughts?

RAW files converted to JPEG files on my mac can't be seen by my customer who has a PC: WHY?

I have been using Adobe CS5 for over a year now but only recently discovered how Adobe Bridge helps with work flow and post processing. My first time using Bridge I put all my RAW NEF files into folders and, after processing them in Photoshop, put all the JPEG files into a seperate folder. Before sending said JPEG images to my client, I batch renamed them to make sure the image file numbers were in the proper consecutive order. My client, who is a PC user, received these images and said she was unable to view them. Her computer system isn't outdated and I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm wondering if there was a formating change that happened when I did the batch rename or if the problem is Adobe Bridge altogether? I did all these on my Mac Book Pro which is only a year old..What am I missing??

Did each image have its .jpg extension? i think Windows likes to see the extension, Macs don't care.
