Converting raw dng files to jpeg

Hi everyone, Had a question about adobe photoshop elements 8.0.
At my job we currently shoot digital images and then modify the raw files while also creating a jpeg version for viewing. With adobe elements, my boss is looking for a way to adjust the exposure of the raw files and then save it in jpeg form. When I go to save the exposure adjusted photo however, the program only gives me the option to save as .dng or .DNG. Is there a way to save this file directly to .jpeg or does that require another program? Thanks folks.

Adjust the photos of interest, and click on Open Image, which opens the PSE Editor, then save as JPG.
Or put the desired RAWs by themselves in a folder, adjust each one. then in the PSE Editor, File->Process Multiple Files
But ... you don't need to save as JPG to view the image; PSE lets you view it.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.

Make sure that Develop Settings being applied during import is set to "None".

DNG Converter converts existing dng files to.....dng!

Today I decided to convert all of the raw files on one hard drive to dng format. The dng converter has converted about 4,000 of a little over 15,000 raw files so far. I scrolled through the conversion status list and noticed that the converter is also converting existing dng files into dng files thus creating a duplicate. Why in the world would a person need, or want to , convert existing dng files to dng files? I new that I already had some dng files on the hard drive, but I never would have imagined that the converter would include dng files in the list of raw files to convert to dng.
It is not a big deal to find and delete. All I have to do is do a search for all files that end in _1.dng. No biggie, but it seems redundant to me to waste time on this conversion. Is there an option to choose not to convert dng files? I can not look at the moment because the converter is converting dng files and is busy. LOL.

You still have not provided any documentation to back up your assertion that Adobe makes plain, or even unplain for that matter, that DNG files are going to be included in the conversion process. I am not asking you to "slavishly go over a variety of documents in order to provide proof", you state as a matter of fact that the documentation exists. Your failure or inability to produce any proof can only be interpreted as meaning that it does not exist. You are speaking about something that you apparently do not have a clue about. You only seem to act like you know what you are talking about. It is pointless to discuss this with you any longer. I accept the fact that you are not going to be able to provide official Adobe documentation stating that DNG files are going to converted along with camera dependent raw files. Apparently, you had no prior knowledge of this issue, because you did not share a reason in your post. And, you still do not share documentation....because you do not have any! FAIL!
As far as making contributions, just because I have only posted 14 times on this forum is not a clear indicator of my total contributions. I am not going to get into a "I have made this many posts on this forum and that forum argument" with you. It is pointless and childish.
And how were you trying to help me? You were not. You offered nothing. Your comment only had one purpose: to make fun of another person and/or to incite a reaction. You did that very well. You need to be honest with yourself and think about what kind of contribution you were making in your original post. You did not offer anything accept for a smartaleck answer.
As far as acknowledging the utility's ability to convert dng files to newer files, yes I knew that the converter could be used to update existing DNG files. I did not imagine that it would convert an existing dng file and produce a duplicate. Big difference!
And what is wrong with venting? I expressed frustration with something that I found bothering. Adobe would like for everyone to adopt this format. One way of achieving that goal is for people to use the converter. But, if people are not happy with the converter, then they may not convert, or recommend the use of the converter. I use the converter, and I use camera raw to convert to dng as well as converting upon import.
You can not defend yourself on the issue of documentation to back up your claim apparently because it does not exist.
I apologize for referring to you as "Mr. Smartypants". I can clearly see now that I was wrong for calling you that.
I know that I am guilty here of inserting my own emotion into your original response. I have a 50% chance that I was correct in assuming that you were simply being humorous and not condescending. Again, I should have ignored your post as it was completely worthless. I apologize for that.
And, at the moment, I do not feel very smart for participating in this childish discussion with you. I am much too old to be doing this.

Open the PDF in Word and it will ask if you want it converted to an editable Word document.

Trouble Downloading Raw photo files and JPEG photo files in CS5

PS CS5 will not download raw photo files and JPEG photo files. The software will not recognize these files coming from a Canon G12 camera. How can I remedy this situation?

It should recognize the jpg files, but witht the G12, you need to update your camera raw. I believe there is a version what will work with CS5 and the G12.

Having trouble placing RAW / dng files in idesign 5.5. Any suggestions?

Having trouble placing RAW / dng files in idesign 5.5. Any suggestions?
Here's what i've done so far:
Updated my raw plug in
I shoot on canon rebel t3-i

Open the RAW or DNG file in Photoshop as a Smart Object. Then save as a PSD file. Place the PSD in InDesign with File > Place
InDesign cannot place RAW files. However, if you use the workflow I suggest, you can still edit the RAW/DNG files if needed. To edit, choose Edit Original from the InDesign Links panel, and the PSD image will open up. Then double-click the smart object and it will open in Adobe Camera Raw. Saving the changes in PSD will update them in InDesign.

Converting Sony PMP Files to JPEG

Does anyone know how to convert Sony PMP files to JPEG files?
My understanding is that Sony used a proprietary file format (called *.pmp) for images captured by their early digital cameras.

Am I missing something?
I've come across the www.klingebiel.com link, but it doesn't seem to offer a solution to convert the PMP files to JPEG.
From their post
You can convert a PMP file to JPEG format with no loss of quality by simply removing the first 124 bytes of the file and changing the extension to JPG.
The other site, www.cloanto.com, seems to be looking for a conversion tool.
From their post
Tempest Solutions offers a free tool, Pump, which can perform a lossless conversion, but it does not support writing the PMP header metadata as EXIF. (Special thanks to Chris Klingebiel of Tempest Solutions for sharing information about PMP file format details.)

If you are looking for this area, in the newer iOS, it is Settings>Privacy>Location Services. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, so I cannot give you more information. Is it possible you are trying to give this program access to photos in your Camera Roll? Please provide a little more information.

Why are my RAW dng files opening in photoshop as 8 bit?

I am shootng on the canon 5 D Mark II.
On other Mark II camera bodies that I used in the past, the dng files are 16 bit. Why are mine 8 bit, and how can I change it IN CAMERA to 16 bit (I know how to convert it in photoshop,)
thanks

DNG is an Adobe standard which stands for "Digital NeGative". Adobe supports the format and have also contributed it as an open standard (free to use, they provide free DNG converters, they also state that it's "royalty free" if you were a developer and wanted to include the standard in a product, etc.)
You can find more information on it (and download Adobe's own free DNG converter software) here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.edu.html
And while it's supported by several companies even outside Adobe, it isn't adopted by Canon or Nikon -- they continue to create files in their own formats (.cr2 for Canon and .nef for Nikon).
Are you using Adobe's DNG Converter or something else?
JPEG is an 8-bit format (there is no option for anything other than 8-bit if you shoot JPEG).
CR2 (Canon RAW) is a 14-bit format on your specific camera.
If you shoot RAW and copy the CR2 files to your computer, you've got 14-bit data (there is no option on your camera to change the bit-depth.) There are options to shoot in alternate RAW formats such as S-RAW1 & S-RAW2 (don't use those if what you _really_ want is "RAW").
Canon "Digital Photo Professional" (aka "DPP") came on the media CD bundled with your camera and can open all formats that your camera can create... but 3rd party software wont necessarily support all the formats. Everyone, of course, supports JPEG. RAW is supported via RAW updates from the some vendors (e.g. Adobe provides RAW updates but usually only for their latest versions of software). The S-RAW formats are often not supported by 3rd parties.
It looks like RAW support for the 5D II was added in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) v5.2. That was back in the days of Photoshot CS4. If you have CS4 or later (or any version of Lightroom) and you keep up with the "Adobe Camera RAW" updates then Photoshop would be able to open the Canon .CR2 files from your camera in their native format and would not need to have them converted to ".DNG" format.
Canon DPP will allow you to convert your RAW files into TIFF (which is also a non-lossy format).

Beginner question about RAW/DNG files and Aperture + Adove

I used to use Microsoft Expression Media. When I would edit a .DNG file in Photoshop and update the sidecar or JPEG preview, EM would show the .DNG with the new adjusted preview in its catalog.
I noticed Aperture 3.0 doesn't read these adjustments from my .DNG files. Is there a way to get Aperture to properly read my .DNG files?
Conversely, when I make RAW edits in Aperture, can I view these on the .DNG master in Photoshop? How?

Adrian:
I have been using DxO Optics Pro in conjunction with Aperture. The easiest workflow that I have found is to run the images through DxO before bringing them into Aperture. I have DxO export the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs. (Sixteen-bit TIFFs are really big.) I, then, import the TIFFs into Aperture. There are two disadvantages to this approach: I do not get to bring the original RAW file into Aperture and using DxO on all images, even those that turn out to be rejects, takes a lot of time.
I have also played around with adding images to Aperture, exporting masters before doing any Aperture image manipulation, running the exported images through DxO, exporting the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs and reimporting the TIFFs into Aperture. This can be done without Catapult. I think the advantage of Catapult is that it will automatically stack your processed TIFFs with the original RAW files in Aperture. The advantage of this approach is that I can use Aperture to decide which images I want to process in DxO. Remember that DxO will not see any work that you have done on the image in Aperture; this is why I do my DxO work before doing any Aperture manipulations.

Linking dng files with jpegs

Hello all
Back in my Powerbook G4 days I had a habit of shooting cr2 with my Canon 5D but converting the cr2 file to DNGs and importing the latter into Aperture 1./2. But they were very slow to load so in the end I abandoned a raw workflow but still choose to keep the raw files. I shot jpeg+cr2, converted the cr2 files to dng, deleted the cr2s and imported the jpegs to Aperture. The DNGs were just kept on my external but never imported into Aperture.
Fastforward to 2012 and I have a highend RMBP and thought it would be fun to reimport those old dngs and wondered if these could be matched with the jpegs and treated as one file (with options to work with RAW or JPEG). Is there a way to do this? I thought I read somewhere that in Ap 3 you can break up and re-pair raw+jpegs. Just not sure if I can do that with dng+jpeg when the original combination was cr2+jpeg. The exif data will be the same but the DNG file created/modified/opened dates in Finder are all based on when they were converted.
I experimented with importing two of them into the same project as the original jpegs. When I sort by date they do not show up but when I sort by file you can see them beside the jpegs. Sorted by date I can only click on the jpeg file and right clicking does not give options of new version from master/jpeg so it is not linking them.
Any thoughts on how to do this or how best to fudge it?
Thanks
Ross

It depends on how you define a raw format. As far as the Camera Raw adjustment controls are concerned, you cannot tell the difference between a linear dng and "raw data" dng, since all the current Camera Raw adjustment controls happen after demosaic step.
(Both Canon and Kodak have cameras that produce demosaiced "raw" file formats in some cases. In Canon's case, the new "sRAW" format is already demosaiced. Some Kodak cameras (e.g. Kodak 14n, etc.) also saved a "lower resolution" raw format that was also demosaiced.)
The dividing line between a "raw" format and a "rendered" format is with whether the data stored in the file is scene referred or output referred. As long as the data is in a scene referred color space, it is easy to change the white balance, exposure, tone curve, etc. Once the data is converted to an output referred color space, it gets much harder to change those parameters without causing artifacts.
That said, it is better to keep the image in mosaic format if possible, since this allows you to take advantage of better demosaic algorithms in the future. For this user, that is not possible because Camera Raw 2.4 does not have a demosaic algorithms that works for the Fuji S5, so using the linear form of dng solves that problem.

Why is iPhoto (Mountain Lion) importing RAW/NEF files as jpeg's?

I am manually importing via DVD's my archived iPhoto files from iPhoto '08, (7.1.5), Snow Leopard, to my new computer running Mountain Lion. iPhoto '11 (9.4.3). Most of my files are in RAW format (NEF) and was saved as such. I am noticing that as I import from the discs into the new iPhoto, it is importing some as jpeg's and I am loosing my RAW data. I am findiing very little being imported as RAW.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Is there somewhere in the settings that I am not finding, to correct this? I checked all that I know to look at and I did not find anywhere an option to change the format of the image in importing.
I, also, converted files from jpeg to.tiff and saved them as such, but I am not finding any .tiff files either.
Any info?
Thank you for any help you can give.

OK. WOW!
One by one! Larry, Terence and Old Toad,
Thank you, all of you, for your helpful replies.
Firstly, I am a little confused between Larry and Terence; sounds like opposite info. Is it?
Old Toad, Now I know about this easy way to do this. I have, at least, 1T+20,000 more images, some of which I will import into my new 750 gig Macbook Pro, so this seems easy. (Already over 30,000 images. Can iPhoto hold so much???)
It seems tho, that I AM BUSTED!
Unfortunatelly, I could not import directly the old Library to the new Library because of the below reason. (even tho there seems to be some difference of opinion on this between Terence and Larry)
I did the unthinkable. I worked out of the iPhoto Library.
What I did was this: my older Macbook Pro, had a 200 gig HDD, and could NOT handle all the photos I was putting into it (which I needed to do the work I want to do), so I first downloaded the images from my camera to iPhoto, then, I downloaded,as I went along, by year, to external HDD, and then I cut DVD's, by year, in pieces, via Toast, as my backup. (both, directly from the iPhoto Library), Then, I deleted many of the photos in each event, in each year, leaving only enough to remind me what is in that event.
(Then, when I needed images from that event, I could go back to the HDD to see and get the rest of the pix I needed to use).
I KNOW this is totally SACRELIGIOUS of Mac and the whole iPhoto Library set-up, but it didn't hurt the library functioning, (in the old mac), at all, and was the only way I knew to do it, as going thru iPhoto itself, didn't work out so well.
(That is why I didn't import directly my old library to the new Mac, not all the photos were there, and I thought it would be more confusing trying to add the missing photos to each event in the new iPhoto).
However, re-importing from the HDD to the new iPhoto, was a bit of a mess, as I got, (as 2 of you, above, said), mixed up info, as both "originals" as well as "events" downloaded, which gave me duplicates of some, and the dates are NOT necessarily in order, as was in the old iPhoto before. (but that I can reconcile, later, can't I?
Can I move events to other places in iPhoto?
However, going directly via the DVD's into the new iPhoto, gave me exact input and I got all the files as well as all the data. But, in some, very slow downloading, and very few, some date order mixup, but very few.
SO, this new iPhoto Library is a bit messed up with the duplicate images in about the first 3,000 or so images, but I assume I can fix this up.
Oh g---d.
In any event, it is now showing RAW and jpeg's as info in the metadata pane.
Thank you , all of you. I am not so computer savy, I do better in photography!
All the help I receive is welcome and worthwhile. And if there is anymore you want to tell me, besides scolding me for going into the iPhoto Library, it is all welcome.
I Thank you.

What causes RAW DNG files not to open in PSE 7?

I installed converter 5.5 but I still cannot get PSE to open DNG file. The error message is "could not complete the request . . file not a valid photoshop document". The error message is the same as I got before I installed 5.5 but the converter symbol is adjacent to the DNG photo file so perhaps that install worked if it didn't work before. I have no problem in opening or re-opening the file in the raw processing software. The manual says I should be able it open processed files (DNG) in PSE editor. Where did I go wrong?
Thank you
George

Thanks for the reply, LPF.

That is what I was afraid of.

Adobe does provide the free DNG converter for those who wish to continue to use old versions when they upgrade their camera. Some people actually prefer to do the conversion even if the camera is supported by the version of PSE that they have.
Unfortunately the Adobe DNG throws a message to the effect of "File was unable to be written" on every file, without any further explanation.
