Convert CR2 to DNG/JPEG

When converting *.CR2 (Canon D600) to DNG and Jpeg have vertical white areas on the picture.
What is cause?
I use Lightroom, Photoshop and Adobe DNG converter
The CR2 is good in the Viewer on the PC to Win 8.1.
When I use Contenta software converter to JPEG then is result good.
Via Adobe products is not good.
Operating system Win 8.1

Hi,
Which version of photoshop, lightroom and the dng converter are you using?
Which operating system?
Do you see the vertical white areas in both lightroom and photoshop?
Could you post a scrrenshot?

Converting CR2 to DNG via script?

Hello,
I want to create a script which converts several CR2 files as DNGs (later to create a drag'ndrop-button for this script).
It's not possible to record this steps/these steps. Probably because of the "Camera Raw" module which Photoshop uses after opening a CR2 file.
Thanks.
Carlos

You might be better using the stand-alone free DNG converter from Adobe..
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
With this you can do a folder of raw files.
You could even create a batch file do do the convert IE:
Create a .bat file with something on the lines of..
For %%a in (c:\CR2\*.cr2) do "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe" -d c:\DNG %%a
This will process all cr2 files in Folder C:\CR2 and convert them to DNG putting them in C:\DNG
Another possibility would be to create a script passing the command line to the app.system() command (CS4/5)

Converting cr2 files to jpeg files...

How do you convert several cr2 files to jpegs in lightroom?

You don't really "convert" the files to JPEG. Those raw files are your master images that you continually maintain in Lightroom. When you need a JPEG copy you use the export function in Lightroom to export a JPEG copy that includes all of the adjustments that you have made in Lightroom.

Failure to convert CR2 to DNG

I am not able to convert my CR2 files to DNG.
DNG converter is saying there is an error parsing the files.
what does this mean?

Walt,
I suppose it is a matter of what you become accustomed to doing. I have a shortcut to my CF card on my desktop. All I do is double click on that shortcut, highlight all of the raw files and drag them to the DNG converter. Then I specify the folder on my hard drive where I want the DNG files to be saved. That's all there is to it. Sometimes, when the images are more important to me, I will save the original raw images to a DVD. But a lot of the time I don't even keep them. But then, that is the way I have chosen to work.
There are more reasons to upgrade to Photoshop CS3 besides just getting support for a new camera. ACR in Photoshop CS3 has been significantly enhanced. There are a number of new controls. But in order to get all of the changes it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of ACR. New controls for added in ACR 4.1. And then the cameras are continually added. It is a good idea to check for updates often to make sure you have the latest.
Another alternative that you might want to consider is Lightroom. This Adobe product has all of the same controls that ACR 4.x has, as well as some other nice features. A lot of people prefer using Lightroom. On initial purchase, it is quite a bit less costly than Photoshop, but would probably cost you more than it would cost to upgrade to Photoshop CS3. I prefer Photoshop. But there are trial versions of both programs that you can download and try for 30 days to see what you think.
In the meantime, my suggestion would be for you to try the DNG converter. You can start working on your raw images immediately. There really aren't that many hoops to jump through. At least give it a try. You will still have your original raw images and you can at least evaluate the workflow. The DNG converter is usually packaged with the latest version of ACR. All you have to do is copy the DNG converter to your desktop and just forget about the rest. Try a conversion and try opening them with what you have just to see if it works. But I can tell you that once you have an opportunity to use CS3/ACR you will feel extremely restricted when you have to revert back to CS2 for some reason.
Just one last thought. Some have expected they can save money by purchasing Photoshop Elements because it uses ACR. But many of the new controls are not available in Photoshop Elements even though it uses the very same plug-in.

Grainy output when converting cr2 to JPEG in Photoshop CS5

Output JPEG becomes grainy whenever I am converting cr2 file to JPEG. Please help me with solution.

If the box beside Run Action is not checked, then you don't have any actions running when the Image Processor runs
and you probably don't want the Run Action box checked unless you want to do some adjustments to all the processed images
The name of the action can be any one that is loaded in the actions panel in cs5 and not always Image Effects.
Sometimes one has that checked and forgets about it and wonders why processed images are turning out strange.
Here's more about the Image Processor:

Can't convert CR2 files with DNG converter

After buying the Canon T2i, I realized that the files (CR2) won't open in PS. I did my research and found that the dng converter was the thing I need. Unfortunately, the converter won't recognize and convert the CR2 files that I try to convert.
I am guessing I will probably get a reply telling me I should have done my research before I bought the camera (as I have seen in other forums), but I am hoping for a more productive (and less offensive) answer.
Thanks!

I see a lot of answers speaking about having the most up to date version of the Camera RAW Plug-in. I have a similar issue with my .CR2 files... I cannot open them in Camera RAW because it tells me that my camera model or make is not supported by the Plug-in, and so I was directed by other forums to just try converting the .CR2 files to .DNG. I already had the Adobe DNG Converter (version 6.5 I believe), so I tried this. It too told me that my files or camera make were not supported. However, I have always been able to successfully both open my .CR2 files AND convert them to .DNG. I had not updated anything on my camera nor on my Adobe programs and for some reason this last attempt to open RAW files failed me... I have no idea what change would have led to it. Luckily I shopt in both RAW and Large JPG but I certainly don't want to rely on my JPGs of course... Any idea why this problem might have arisen now if it had always worked easily in the past?
Thanks!

Is there a method of converting .cr2 files to DNG when tethered in Lightroom 5.7.1?

don't see any setup parameters in either auto import or tethered capture ...
is there any plugin that will do this on a watched folder?
thanks

No need to do all that exporting and importing. LR will allow you to convert photos to DNG in place in the Catalog. I believe it's under the Photo menu, but I'm not looking at my laptop right now. The menu choice is simply "Convert photos to DNG."

LR 3 convert CR2 (canon eos 5d mk2) to DNG in Loupe View issue

i have just stumbled upon an issue in LR 3 beta3.0 - when i select several images in loupe view there will be only the selected image converted to dng. the others remain untouched.
after switching to grid view everything works fine though.
manageable problem for me but maybe someone else is having the same issue and can appreciate the heads up.
cheers
Viktor
ps: the issue remains after restart of LR and after reboot of system.
i am running a vista 64 machine with 8gb ddr2 ram (4x 2gb geil cl4), 3.6 ghz cpu e8400 on an asus p5q pro board, with nvidia gtx 260. both the system hdd and the lightroom cache and image hdd are samsung hd753LJ 750gb sata2

What you're describing is as designed and has been this way from before LR even got out of beta for version 1.
cannot comment on that since i never had to convert to dng after import because the import dialogue always remembered to convert the RAW files for me. since the switch to LR3 i need to do it myself thus its annoying sometimes having to do it. still i didnt expect this beavior since syncing files works in loupe mode on several files too. but now that i think about it things like "save metadata" works in grid only aswell.
just checked: the subtle difference i missed was in loupe mode the module says: "convert photo to dng" in grid: "convert photos".
thanks for clearing that up for me.

CR2 to DNG. Any loss of quality or funcionality?

Hi.
So, the same questions arise with me but I can't get a definitive answer...
1. Adobe Bridge CS3 (and I presume CS4 as well) will "Convert to DNG" upon importing from your card reader. It's a simple checkbox option. Will this function convert 5DMK2 CR2 files to DNG properly or do I need to use the standalone Adobe DNG Converter because only Bridge CS4 will do it right?
2. If I process a CR2 file in ACR and make adjustments, then convert the CR2 to DNG, what happens to my edits saved in the XMP sidecar? Does it come along for the ride or is the XMP file now ignored forever?
3. Are there any features/benefits/downfalls in converting to DNG first then processing it in ACR? Anything that a CR2 file offers that a DNG file does not? Is there an ACR function that is now grayed out or something?
4. Is the quality of a DNG identical to the CR2 file? Same file size too?
5. Will presets I've created in ACR to run against CR2 files also run against DNG files?
6. If I convert a CR2 file to DNG and open it in, say DPP, then make changes such as sharpening and noise reduction, then open that DNG in ACR, are those changes seen or ignored?
7. People have said "Convert to DNG. Who knows how long you will be able to read CR2 files." I'm not sure how this statement holds water -- the DNG format was only released in late 2004. It's not a long-standing standard. I could make the argument that both CR2 and DNG files have an equal chance of becoming obsolete or changing drastically. Thoughts about this?
I've worked with raw files and a 40D for a long time now and my workflow is great for me: Import into Bridge --> Edit in ACR. If I get the new 5DMK2 I would hate to lose this functionality and I'm willing to upgrade to CS4, but why bother if CS3 Bridge's "Convert to DNG" function will convert it upon import, or if the new DNG Converter will do a whole directory in a few minutes... but I need to be sure that I don't lose any quality or functionality by doing this... and, if I decide to convert a whole year's worth of CR2/XMP files to DNG for long-term compatibility reasons, I need to be sure that all my XMP edits come along for the ride. If not, that's hundreds of hours of work gone... I might as well export to hi-quality JPG.
Thanks,
-Dave

> It's a shame that an edited CR2 file contains the edit information embedded in the file instead of within an XMP DPP can store the adjustment in a parameter file, but other raw processors would not recognize that. > Many times I'd like to use, say, DPP to apply NR and Sharpening, but I'd like to use ACR for the rest You seriously misunderstand how this works.

If DPP would do the parameters in this or some other but metaformat, ACR or other raw processors could interpret the setting. However, the result would be ACR noise reduction. In order to get the DPP noise reduction result, you have to convert the raw file in TIFF or JPEG by DPP.

Color change in RAW file from CR2 to DNG

I recently got a new Canon camera, the 60D and when converting from the CR2 file format to the DNG format using the latest 7.2 version of DNG Converter I notice a color change between the original image (CR2 file) to the new DNG file. Once I open it into Camera RAW (version 4.6 with CS3) the color issues go away and if I save it as a JPEG the color issue is no longer a problem but if I were to resave the DNG file to another DNG file it reverts back to the color changed view in MacOS. Is this something that I need to be concerned with for future use of the RAW files or is it a display issue in MacOS and iPhoto. The DNG file also shows the color change in iPhoto. Below are the two screen caps.

Converted RAW CR2 to DNG using DNG converter
This issue only appears to occur in preview mode or in iPhoto.
Thanks,

Try changing the CAMERA’S color-profile settings from sRGB to Adobe RGB or from Adobe RGB to sRGB, switch to the opposite one, and see if the previews are any closer for new CR2 you convert to DNGs. The theory is that the preview is in terms of the camera Color Profile setting (sRGB vs Adobe RGB) and when the image is converted to DNG that profile is lost for iOS to see, and it is defaulting to the wrong profile.
In the end , what matters is how Camera Raw converts the file.
Also DNGC 7.3 is the latest version: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Metadata baked-in after Convert Photo to DNG?

Since I did Convert Photo to DNG to all my photos (originals were .CR2 and were Developed as well) it seems that Lightroom baked the previous metadata (XMP) to the new .DNG files so now, when I hit the " \ " keystroke to see " Before " (under Develop module) Lightroom now thinks that " Before " is the current state...
This is really bothering me, is it normal that there is no more " Before " state just because I converted all my photos to .DNG
Also, Lightroom history is now showing me " From Matadata " as the last action in the History list... Althought I never used the " Read Metadata from File " function...
So basically, I just converted to DNG all my photos and would like to be able to use the Before function " \ " under the develop module as I use to do with the .CR2...
any help would be appreciated!
thanks!
Danny

I processed a Nikon .nef raw file in Lightroom
. Then I went to the Library Module under
Library and chose Convert to DNG. After the conversion
the complete history was still available. However, the Before/After function using \ or Before/After Views did not work. It was necessary to click on the History State to compare views. Using the Before/After Views, the original could be compared to the processed view by clicking on the Import state.
This will not be a problem if the files are converted to DNG during initial import.
I also recommend backing up originals and all processed files along with the Lightroom database on a least two drives on location and another off-site.

Problems with converted .CR2 files to .dgn on Mac Snow Leopard

Hi,
I'm trying to convert .CR2 files from my Canon 70D into .dng files so that I can use them in Adobe Bridge CS5. I have been able to convert them using Adobe DNG converter 8.2 but under the file's info I see "Dimensions 0x0". I don't understand why this is happening or how to change this so that it reflects the correct size of the image. Also, I am not able to see thumbnails of the images once they have been converted, and again can't understand why.
Can anyone suggest what I'm missing here?
I have converted photos previously to .dng and they are visible as thumbnails on my mac and the dimensions are shown in their properties so can't understand why this is happening with this new set of photos.
Thanks

Are the dimensions those of the embedded preview? Check to see what size of preview you have set in the DNG Converter options. Perhaps it is set to None.

Intermittent "Unsupported image format" message with either CR2 or DNG

I am seeing "Unsupported image format" messages once files created by a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii (+stored in Canon's CR2 file format or when the same file is converted to Adobe's DNG file format+) have been imported into Aperture.
Some files will import and be viewable. However, most of the time the files are not viewable. This occurs even after updating Aperture to 1.5.6.
Is anyone else seeing problems with CR2 or DNG files created by Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii?
Has anyone see a solution?

I think Support is confused with the Canon camera models.
10.5.1 supports 1D Mk III, but only 1Ds Mk II.
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html)
I don't believe that 10.4.11 supports anything that 10.5.1 doesn't support. In fact, the docs at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297 say "Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Leica V-Lux 1, Olympus E-400, Olympus EVOLT E410, Olympus EVOLT E510, Canon EOS 40D" (the 1D Mk III came in the 10.4.10 update.)

CR2 to .dng

Since my CR2 image files will open in Camera Raw, I am confused as to why I am converting them to .dng files.

The other big advantage of a DNG workflow is that you don’t have to keep upgrading the software every time you get a new camera. DNG is totally backward and forward compatible.
You may have to upgrade the DNG Conversion software when you get a new camera. However, the upgrade is free.
