Can I re-convert dng files to psd files (or another format that can be used in Adobe Touch)?

I am using LR 4.1, CS6, on a PC running Windows 7.  Creative Cloud will accept dng's, but Adobe Touch will not.  I'd hate to have to re-save lots of photos one at a time.  (I'm not generally all that happy with dng format--it makes some files unreadable elsewhere, and any work done on a dng results in its being saved as a psd anyway.)
Thanks for any ideas.

1. Proprietary formats such as NEF and CR2 are secret.
2. The universal DNG is an open format.
By all means stick to the raw files produced by your camera if you intend to do your editing in the software provided by your camera manufacturer. If you do all your editing in Adobe software DNG, imho is a better workflow choice.
For archiving purposes I would sooner trust Adobe for future support on DNG than individual camera makers who are known to change their raw formats. Also the benefit of embedded data and no sidecar files, plus fast load data (introduced for DNG’s in Lightroom 4) are clear advantages
If you want to use a tablet with Photoshop Touch tools such as layers, selection tools, adjustments, and filters then a PSD exported from DNG in light room will almost certainly produce an optimum sized file. Tiff will also support layers but the file size will usually be much bigger.

    There are a number of third party solutions for this.  I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

  • How can I migrate my Thunderbird email to Outlook 2013 on a new computer? I am told I need to save the Thunderbird files as psd files - how do I do that?

    I saw the instructions for moving email from Thunderbird to Outlook 2013 via gmail files but I have lots of folders. Microsoft says that if I can save the Thunderbird files as psd files, Outlook will read them. But I cannot see how to do this. Is it possible?

    Do you have a link to the guidance that suggests you save to "psd" files?
    I wonder if it actually said "pst" files - these are the proprietary file format used by Outlook. But you'll probably have to pay for a conversion utility.

    Hi Mark
    Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem!  Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options.  I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20   years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?

    I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..

  • "The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer"

    I have been "repairing" or "restoring" an old photo using PSE 3.0. I scanned the photo to get it into my computer. I began by making 2 copies of the image in case I goofed and needed to start anew. I began "cleaning and cloning" [my terminology, not Adobe's] on a part time schedule. At the end of each sitting, I would close PSE and save the work back to the original file in "My Pictures". [I expect to get chided on this, so fire away.] After I had moved the image into and out of PSE a few times, I was presented with the phrase: "The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the organizer." PSE will not re-open the image now. The Properties show the file to be "Adobe Photoshop Elements Image" and the file name ends with .PSD . I cannot remember precisely what steps I took to close PSE and save the results the last time I worked on the image. I have "restored" or "repaired" about a dozen other old images thus far with satisfactory results [ I may look back and marvel at the naivete of that statement later] and this never happened before. Is this image forever barred from being imported back to PSE for further work? Should I begin the project from scratch with one of the spare copies? I have been using "Adobe PSE 3.0 Classroom in a Book", and "The Missing Manual" [Barbara Brundage] as my guides. Do I need to use the Photo Organizer exclusively to store my "works in progress"? I am using Windows XP Home.

    Larry,
    >save the work back to the original file
    As long as you have a backup (as you do) and are not repeatedly saving as jpg which will progressively degrade the file there is nothing wrong with this procedure. (You should save as psd or tif.)
    I don't know what happened to corrupt the file but you may be able to save your work. Download the free Irfanview from here:
    http://www.irfanview.com/
    Try to open the corrupted psd. If successful save it to another name as psd and again as tif. Then see if either or both can be opened in PE3.
    >Do I need to use the Photo Organizer exclusively to store my "works in progress"?
    No. I never include some projects in Organizer unless I want to be able to find them easily later based on multiple criteria.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • PE9 "The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer"

    I am trying to rebuild my Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer content after a previous computer was physically damaged beyond repair.
    I reinstalled PE9 and told it to import the image files from my HDD. It imported a large number but also rejected a large number with the message "The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer".
    These are files which were happily resident and accessible in the previous PE9 installation on the now-dead computer and there is nothing special about them. They are almost all .JPG format (this is not a RAW or CR2 problem) and those that I have accessed by other means (e.g. with Irfanview) are not damaged.
    Can someone tell me why PS9 is not able to import these files ?
    Thank you.

    Hi pacman110,
    I was getting the same error message when importing a folder with only jpg images to PSE 9 Organizer (trial version).
    Since I read a couple of threads where corrupted EXIF data was a possible reason for import failures, I changed the EXIF data - in the Windows Explorer's file properties dialog (Win 7) - to some value, applied it and changed it back again. After that the import worked fine for that file.
    Later I figured out, that all images causing the error were previously tagged in Picasa 3 and later untagged - so these images actually had no tags at import. Tagging the image(s) again (in Picasa) also seemed to solve the issue.
    In my case it unfortunately didn't solve the problem, because I wanted to get rid of the Picasa Tag (IPTC keyword). Therefore I removed it using the file properties dialog.
    Picasa still shows the image as tagged though. Removing the - on the file non-existing - tag in Picasa results in the same issue as above. At this point the only workaround is to remove the tag in Picasa, close Picasa and set and remove some tag with Windows Explorer, which is pretty annoying regarding the amount of files.
    Conclusion: removing a tag with Picasa seems to make jpg images unimportable to PSE 9 Organizer.
    Workaround: Add the tag again or remove with Windows Explorer or remove tag with Picasa, close Picasa and then tag/untag the image(s) with Windows Explorer.
    Maybe this helps.

  • InDesign: How can I export indd pages to layered psd files?

    I wish to create layered PSD files from the pages of InDesign marketing brochures so that they may be used as templates in Photoshop by photographers (or whomever) that neither possess nor understand how to use InDesign? I have seen offerings by other offering both an indd file and multiple psd files but I cant discern a simple way to make that happen. I am hoping to be able have it occur via a "click" -- convert indd to layered psd. Id doesn't not appear to allow PSD export. What is another method to do this? I'm on PC.

    One way would be to export every Indesign layer as PDF and to assemble them again to a multi-layer PSD file.
    But there is a also script that can do what you want. Unfortunately for you, it is for Mac only.

  • Photoshop touch can I edit the text from a psd file with that app ....

    Can photoshop touch edit the text from a psd file from my iMac on my ipad with that app ....

    I don't think you can because a Photoshop file (PSD) with layers will be flattened when you open up in Photoshop Touch.
    I prepared a Photoshop file with one layer of image, one layer of text over a background using Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Pro and upload the PSD file onto Creative Cloud. I then open this file in Photoshop Touch (on iPad) but it comes out as a single flat layer merging all three layers. Hope this helps.
    Below: 3 layers in Photoshop CS6 (with one layer of text)
    Below: Flattened into one layer in Photoshop Touch..

  • How can I edit separate layers in a psd file that was saved as only one layer?

    A designer provided me with a finished design and provided the psd, eps and ai files.  I'd like to make some minor changes in PS and would like to access individual layers - e.g. the text, background, etc.  When I open the psd file, however, it only has one layer.  how do I break out the original layers so that I can edit them?

    You can't. Once it's been flattened, you can't unflatten it. Talk to your designer: he/she will most likely have the unflattened version available.

  • Converting mpeg-4 files to format that can be utilized by Power Point 2003

    I have created my first Power Point 2003 Presentation, and am trying to add uninterruped music, a post copyright version of George Solti's Beethoven's 5th. When I imported the tracks from the CD, they are MPEG-4. Power Point 2003 can't read the file when I try to open it under "Movie and Sound>". I returned to iTunes and tried converting it to an AAC file, but the software doesn't recognize that file either. What file extension is recognized by Power Point 2003 and does iTunes have a conversion tool?

    In summary, use either WAV, AIFF, or MP3 format when you import from the CD.
