Can't open .DNG files in Preview

I am using Adobe DNG converter OR Lightroom to convert .RW2 from a Panasonic Lumix 3 to .DNG
_This works:_
1. Working with files in LR
2. Use PanoMaker to create panoramas
3. Create HDR with Photomagix
_This does not work_
4. Open files with MAC OS X 10.4.11 Preview (Vorscha) even though thumbnails look ok.
It says (in German) that it can not open the file
5. View files in Houdahgeo - Adding GPS info works
5. Use Photomagico to creat slide shows - only see thumbnails at the bottom
I also played with the settings in Adobe DNG Converter and LR (Raw 2.4, 4.1, 4.6, 5.4, User...Linear...Not compresse) but it did not help.
I searched multiple forums, found the problem twice mentioned on the side but never resolved. One hinted that its a problem since 10.4.11

.... 3 additional additions to my original message.
(a) I am still on Tiger 10.4.11
(b) The conversion if from Canon's CR2 to .DNG in Adobe Raw Converter (ARC) or LightRoom (LR) can be viewed in Preview just fine
(c) It almost looks like ARC or LR convert in way which is good encough for LR and a few others (Panomaker, HDR tools etc.) but not for all
Any ideas how to fix?

Hi,
(1) I'd think that if Adobe makes a XYZ to DNG converter for MAC OS X the goal would would that the following can open such a DNG file
        (a) All Adobe Apps ..... it works ....... mission accomplished
         (b) The native DNG viewer in OS X which is "Preview" .... it does not work!!!
         Note: the above works if XYZ is Canons RAW. If it is coming from a Panasonic LX3 one is out of luck
(2) I just tried the above with LR 2.6RC and DNG Converter 5.6. Nothing has changed.
Anybody having an idea? work around?

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Can't open DNG file in CS4?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D camera and want to be able to open my Raw images in Photoshop. I have CS4 which I know is quite old now. I downloaded DNG converter 7.3 which supports my camera but I still cannot open the DNG or Raw files. Actually the DNG files will not even dowload into Bridge. Did I miss a step?

I can't open multiple files on preview, help?

Every time I open a folder of new files (all .jpg but downloaded with Chrome) it keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to open the file, and it only opens one of the selected files, I can't find anything on how to fix this with the preferences (neither preview's nor system's) and it's bothering me a lot because it never did this with Leopard.
Is there a way to fix this somehow?

I have CS5 Web Premium on MacOSX and I have the same problem with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator... when I select a few files and drag them onto the app icon in my dock it only opens 1 of the files... I have checked the tabs there are no other tabs/files opening. And I don't know how to fix it... it really bothers me!!! :-/
Please tell me you have another solution up your sleeve?

Can't open DNG file

Hi all, I hope there's a simple fix. Using DNG 6.3 to convert Panasonic LX-5 (RW2) files. Conversion goes fine, but my ACR ver. 3.7 within CS2 doesn't "recognize the file type" I've set the DNG converter preferences back compatible to 2.4. What am I missing? Thanks

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, and I apologize. But you are trying to open the DNG files, correct? I don't have any other suggestions because I have never encountered the problem you are having. Are you sure you have ACR 3.7 installed correctly, and only once?

I can't open several files in preview

since 2 weeks, I have not been able to open more than 1 file (whatever it is pdf, jpg...) with the Preview app. Once preview is open, all the files I want to preview need a permission I obviously had before, I tried to fiddle the Library and read advices here but nothing work. SO I have to quit the preview app to be able to open just one file. any idea?

Open Preview, select Preview Preferences and in the General tab select "Open each file in it's own window"

Can't open PDF files with Preview or Adobe on MAC

Open keynote files in preview

I tried to uninstall iWork 09 trial, and may have gone a little nuts removing files from my system. I search for and removed files with the word iWork in them from my system. That was dumb. Now I can't open keynote files in Preview (which I could do before). I know there is a Library file somewhere which gives this ability, but I don't know which one or how to get it back.
I am using Yosemite and do not have iWork.
Sam

As I said, I do not have keynote. Also I did not notice these files included in the keynote 09 manifest. I believe it is part of Mac OS.

Preview in Mac OSX opens DNG files

But what is it actually opening? I believe it is opening the jpeg preview stored with the DNG. Is this true or does Preview support DNG an RAW natively somehow? The particular image I opened, just to try it, looked brighter and more saturated than opening the same image in a converter.

MacOS can render some DNG files (only for cameras that it knows about, which doesn't make sense) natively.
If they opened the JPEG preview, it would be very low res.

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:
