Can't find any raw files to convert when I am using Adobe DNG converter
Recently I purchased a new Olympus XZ-1 camera. I shoot exclusively RAW pictures (raw files for this camera are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop Element 8 it was imposible, nor then I could see those pictures in the organizer. By surfing on diffrent forums, I was able to figure out that Camera Raw included in Element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not supporting the .orf raw from Olympus and if I didn’t want to upgrade my Element 8 to Element 9 or 10, a simple alternative was to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my .orf files into dng files, which could then imported by Element 8 and opened in Camera raw 5.5.
I downloaded DNG converter version 6.6 and installed it in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that once inside DNG converter, when selecting the folder where all my .orf files are (Select folder), I can't see any raw files to convert there! I tried to select a folder with NEF files instead (raw files from Nikon) and it is the same problem! Why can’t I see those files of mine I want to convert when I select the folder in DNG converter?
I'm dying for help!
Thanks a lot!
When you are selecting the folder in the DNG converter, you only click on the folder. You DON'T double click on the folder. After you have set your options, and chosen the folder, you click on the Convert button. It is only after you have clicked on Convert that you will see the list of files that are being converted. You will also be able to see an indicator of the progress of the conversion. It really does work. Just to verify, the procedure I outlined is one that I did just prior to trying to write the instructions. It really isn't rocket science. Just choose the folder, only the folder, and click on the Convert button.
You'll notice that the button prompts you to select the folder, it doesn't say anything about selecting a file. You only select the folder that contains the files. You will never see a list of files using this method. If you only want to convert one or two images you can use the other method. Leave the DNG converter closed, open the folder containing the DNG files in your operating system folder browsing utility, choose the file you want to convert, and drag it onto the icon for the DNG converter. That is how you choose individual images.

I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.
Unfortunately no - Photos use extensions and the vendor (adobe) will have to implement the extension to allow external edits in PS or PSE
For now you must export the photo, edit and then import - not great but a work arond
And you can continue to use iPhoto until Photos meets your needs - launch it in your applications folder - if you need assistance on this see Why won't my iPhotos open?

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.
Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that: -
In addition to the FormsCentral subscription charge ($152.87 including tax) I was billed about the same time for $15.93. I can't find any way to get in touch with anyone from Adobe. The phone number I'm supposed to call is cut off on my invoice. Can someone respond ASAP? Thanks
I have forwarded your request to the support team that should be able to resolve this issue for you quickly. Expect to hear from them shortly.

Spotlight Can't Find My Raw Files
For months now, Spotlight has been unable to find my raw files. If I type .CR2, it finds them just fine, if I type any digit(s) at all before the .CR2, it can't find them. The same problems happen with my older camera that ends raw files .CRW
I'm not concerned with the metadata, just the file by name.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
GeorgeAh, the difference is between using the "quickie" Spotlight versus the full Command-F, which returns much better results.
Reading what you are getting strikes me as showing that the metadata importer handling your new camera's files is not working quite right. Thus, I have one drive that is searchable with Spotlight, but not indexed (it is a bit tricky to set it up that way). If I do a quick Spotlight search on "4039" my camera raw files that are on the fully indexed drives all show up, but the copy on the non-indexed drive does not. If I do a full Command-F search, with the two criteria of Kind:Canon Camera and Name Contains 4039, then it does show up. So I would guess that your new files are behving as if they are not fully indexed, and that the camera raw support in the metadata importer is lacking for that camera's files. Perhaps your new camera's raw format is just not fully supported yet. Have you run the latest Camera Raw updater from Apple?
Also you might try one of the search utilities that doesn't depend on indexing, EasyFind is free:
http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
You might find you like it better. Because it does a brute force search it can be rather slow. If you restrict it to just the folder that contains images, even if the folder is quite large with many sub-folders, rather than having it do a whole drive, its performance is actually quite fast.

Can't find a raw file that was just on my fash card. need help.
I shoot raw/jpg. I viewed in Digital Photo professional and transferred a Tiff to photoshop. I saved the image on a seperate disc. when I opened and tried to save again I received an error saying I didn'thave permission. I finally saved the psd version by changing the name of the picture. when I went back to the raw file on my flash card it was gone. when I went back to the tiff file that was gone to. the only file I have left is the jpg back up and the psd version. All the other pictures are still on both the flash card and my backup drive except this one. I've done recovery searches and they recover everything i've deleted from the flash card except the file I need. I don't understand why this happend. I've tried searching for hidden files etc. I didn't delete this file. the recovery program shows that it is there it just won't get it. it gets everything else but not this one. both the raw and the tiff files disappeared from two different drives. I want to get the raw file back. Help!
Recovery programs can only recover file that have beed deleted when the media space they occupied has not reused and written over. So if the recovery program did not recover your images. I would be willing to bet some of the space the image occupied has been written over. So it can not be recovered even though its delete directry enter can be read its data is no longer intact.
Without a system trace you have to rack your brain the remenber all you did. To get a clue to what wrote to your flash card. Its best to just copy file off flash cards onto your hard disk and remove the card from the card reader with the files still on the flash card. After processing your images on your computer its a simple quick process to format the flash card in camera. -
It just started happening out of the ordinary. I had a photo shoot done today. I came home plugged my camera usb to my mac lap top and tried to import my raw files as i usually do into light room 5 to edit my images. This time the same error message popped up stating it couldn't read or my files weren't found over and over again. Neither the new ones nor the old pictures was able to import them. Please Help!
I just bought Lightroom and have the same problem - MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.1. LR actually displays the photos properly when previewing but fails when starting the import. Also, a couple of times it would start but would hang up. I think it may be a Yosemite problem. I was having trouble importing with Aperture too. The fail message from LR was:
The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (6)
IMGP7941.JPG
IMGP7942.JPG
IMGP7944.JPG
IMGP7943.JPG
IMGP7945.JPG
IMGP7946.JPG
I can copy the folder from the camera to my desktop and then import. That works but of course I shouldn't have to do that. -
Can t find "corresponding RAW files"
Hi all,
I am using aperture 3 with a nikon camera (D40X).
I have recently tried the following: shooting in Jpg + NEF (=RAW).
I first import the Jpg files then make a first selection and then go back to my memory card to import only the corresponding NEF files (using current filter set up). It usually works fine but I have left one project for maybe 2 months or a bit less unprocessed, I just got one NEF file for one specific picture I modified. Now I wanted to get the other NEF files corresponding to the other Jpg files I had selected. It seems that it doesn't show any file... what's the problem? I tried removing the filter option, I correctly selected the right project in which the corresponding Jpgs are ... What am I missing, what could I do to associate these files again?
thanks a lotPerhaps you imported both format versions originally? Control-click on one of the images, and then see if the option to show version from RAW master is available.

Any suggestions?See note 2 in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for starters...

Having corrected my corrupt catalog (PSE 11) I now have thousands of duplicate images. Is there any way of of removing the extra copies? I've had suggestions that apply to Windows, and iPhoto but can't find any advice for Photoshop Elements on Mac Maverick
You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?
Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

Windows Find File can't find Camera Raw.8bi though it's there
Hi everybody,
Must be my age, but here it is:
Windows Find File (the search utility from the Start button in XP) can't find Camera Raw.8bi although it's sitting perfectly inside:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\File Formats.
Even *.8bi didn't find it (or any other .8bi file for that matter). The obvious search strings *did* find the couple of archived ACR files I backed up, including the latest, but not the one sitting in it's normal spot.
I then tried my second PS machine (the laptop) and there the same happened (no ACR file found although its there).
On both computers ACR 4.3.1 is working correctly. I was just checking their location, because sometimes after a camera file ingest session, Bridge shows some Raw files as generic icons, which also have no metadata, and have "no" after "supports XMP".
The latter problem aside, maybe someone knows what I'm overseeing in the file find thing.
No folders or files in the above path are flagged Hidden or System, or anything.
Thanks,
RobOk, That's ready (pffft!)
Now the file find problem. I put a check on the "hidden files" box, an now it actually finds it.
But it's not "hidden", nor "system". Just "archive".
So then I looked to see if any of the folders in the path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\" was hidden, but no.
Fine. Heck, I got other things to do. It's not important. Faggettaboutit. Thanks for thinking with me!

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?
I recently purchased a Nikon D610. I have PSE 10. I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW. I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format. Any help??????
Your most direct choices are:
1) Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws. These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in. Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
2) Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added. PSE10 won’t be updated.
Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera. These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software. -
My Macbook Pro can't find any of my files!
Hi there,
Since yesterday, my Mac suddenly can't find any of my files anymore. All the folders are there, but all the files are missing. There are 2 big question marks on the top of the finder window and when I click on them it says that files cannot be found. I have no clue what to do now. The only thing I did before this happened, was deleting my downloads folder, but nothing more. It's weird that all the folders are visible but the content not. Anyone experienced this too? What can one do in a case like this?
Thank you for any help!
RaphaelaDid you run a disk check on it? You might have data corruption. The big question mark on the top of the finder window, I believe is a short cut, not the actual file. Did the actual file move? Did you rename the file? Did you change anything, like your username? Did KIDS use your machine? KIDS can do some silly stuff to your computer without even realizing it. I know this option may sound OFF BASE, but do you have a faulty trackpad, or use excessive hand lotion? (I have seen both of these cause undesired file moves, renames, etc...)
I would run a disk check, and if available, use Disk Warrior, Drive Genius or similar to rebuild the directory.
If that does not help, I would search for the file using Spotlight, or a 3rd party app like Find Any File. -
Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?
You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.
