Converting Tiff to DNG

I use a Nikon slide scanner that produces tiff format files. I want to import them into Lightroom as DNG files. The Lightroom import function does not let you do this, as it only seems to let you do DNG conversions on Raw files. How do I get my tiff files to DNG format.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I could not find any search function on this forum.

I had a similar problem. I had three Kodak pcd disks. I converted the 4MB pcd's to tiff using Easy graphic converter resulting in a 18MB tiff file and then to a dng. The dng's were 11 MB! To do the last conversion I had to do the last conversion in the same folder and then outside of lightroom delete the tiff's.

RAW to DNG & TIFF to DNG

I have a Fujifilm IS100. I would like to convert RAW to DNG and TIFF to DNG. Could someone advise me what software I would need to do this.
I presently have have Lightroom 3.6 and Elements 4 (I am sure you can see I am on a really tight budget), when I export DNG from Lightroom it ends up in My Pictures as a PSD file, I open it and it opens in Elements 4. I have deleted Elements 4 and the PSD file will not open at all. Do I need another package other than Lightroom, like Elements 11?

Ian, the answer to the second portion of your query: after you've opened
the image in the Raw Converter and made your adjustments, select the choice
"Open" rather than "Save" at the bottom right. This takes you directly into
the main Editor screen, where you can then save as JPEG, TIFF, and a variety
of other formats. That Save in the RAW converter is a new feature in PE 4,
and I ran into the same dilemma.
Regarding the JPEG that comes along with the RAW, can you open it and see
whether it's a full-size image? It could be a thumbnail. On the other
hand, as Colin suggested, your camera may have a mode that creates an
'embedded' JPEG when shooting in RAW. My Canon's do that.

Converting RAW to DNG! What are the advantages / disadvantages?

I have Canon cameras and shoot RAW, but the question itself is surely also valid for Nikon, Sony or other brand-shooters.
When importing my pictures to Lightroom, I could convert them to DNG but didn't do this up to now, because I do not know what I loose. I suppose that I loose the ability to process my files with DPP, but I will not do that anyhow. I can appreciate the advantage of having the file in an open documented format, where even I could easily write a reader for it. So the answer should not be what I can easily find in the Adobe introduction into DNG. I have also the DNG specification in front of me, and I can read it, because I once wrote a program to read TIFF files. I understand that I could add the original RAW image stream, but I do not want using up the space wasted for this. I know, that all development parameters used for the specific RAW image can be written with the image file instead of having those stored in a database or a side-car-file.
But what I did not find until now a technical explanation about what happens during the convert. Who can enlighten me? Where do I find the missing technical explanations?
Thanks in advance!

Based on the title of the thread and your initial post, it seems like your question had a lot of
"What are the advantages / disadvantages?"
in it, and only a little
"What happens at a technical level when converting"
But if you want more detailed info about conversion, and you have the aptitude to understand, I recommend doing what Lr5user-pt recommended:
Download the DNG SDK and dig in - all your questions will be answered (and if not, you can also ask DNG-specific technical questions in the DNG forum).
As far as my "sources" regarding the technical summary I presented, they are many and varied, none of which are the DNG SDK. In other words, my knowledge is based more on experience over the years - I don't know all the details under the hood..
Some experiments to consider doing:
* exiftool (-X) a proprietary raw file, then convert to DNG and repeat.
* open a proprietary raw in a DNG-supporting software of your choice and inspect metadata, then open the converted DNG in the same software and re-evaluate. Compare to proprietary raw opened in manufacturer's software, and what you see via exiftool.
Tom Hogarty (Lightroom project manager) and others who know have said: "DNG converter discards no metadata", and I believe them, but haven't verified for myself. Yet once proprietary metadata is in the DNG, most (all?) software will no longer decode it. A prime example is focus points - presumably they're there, but once converted, focus point feature is no longer supported. The amount of work required to support converted focus point data is unknown (to me), but as far as I know, no software has ventured to do it. If you want focus points, don't convert.
If you want the truth, I think for most people it's "not wise" to convert to DNG. Why? because unless you already know why you are converting (and need to convert to satisfy your goals), or you already know why you must NOT convert (e.g. so you can open the files in mfr.software, and see focus points..) the pros and cons are likely to be a wash, and now you have twice the number of raw files, unless you discard your originals, which would be REALLY "not wise", in my opinion. If you find the notion of "openly documented format" sufficiently compelling, then, ya know, more power to ya (I don't judge..), but there is no guarantee that DNG will outlast NEF (or..), and if it does, there will be ample opportunity to convert before you're left in the cold, unless you're stuck in a cave for a few decades, or are kryogenically frozen.. True, if all companies die, you may be able to write your own DNG converter (/reader), given the DNG documentation, but FWIW, NEF is also thoroughly documented (document is in freely downloadable SDK), and reverse engineerable (that's what Adobe and Phil Harvey does), so you could also write your own NEF converter, so not really a very compelling argument, not this year anyway - ask me again in a few decades..
If filesize is a main draw, then be sure NOT to save the hi-rez previews in your DNGs, otherwise you've just lost most or all of the filesize advantage. Also, you can strip previews from some proprietary raws (e.g. NEFs), to reduce filesize.
Personally, if DNG supported sidecars, I would be more likely to convert, because file-management/backup is only an issue if you "forget" about xmp sidecars (and I do not forget), and I'd rather have my xmp in separate ready-to-read xml text files, rather than embedded in binary files, but hey, that's me..
PS - I always use/encourage-others-to-use DNG when distributing raws to others for use in Adobe software, so xmp is not separate and can not get lost.
PPS - proprietary raws and dngs are both just glorified tiff files - raw data, previews, and metadata..
Don't get me wrong: I am NOT anti-DNG, and in fact - just the opposite: I am PRO dng, it's just that I wouldn't (don't) convert my own raws to DNG at this point. If you find the reasons to convert now are sufficiently compelling, you have my complete support and cooperation, fwiw..
Cheers,
Rob

Copy original TIFF to DNG and import?

Does Lightroom support the option "Copy as dng and import" when the source files are tiff?
The reason is that I would like to be able to copy my original tiff files as dng and then import into Lightroom. The tiffs are 16 bit tiffs generated from Nikon Capture.
The menu system allows me to choose this option, but all the files get copied as tiffs and imported as tiffs even though I have chosen the "copy as dng" option.
This is a major setback as the tiffs are about 60MB each, whereas the dngs Lightroom generates from a Nikon NEF raw image are under 10MB each.
I can't seem to figure out a way to convert all tiffs to dng on import into Lightroom.
Thanks.

Caine-
You're definitely deriving good insight from all of this!
As far as your color and tone, others have seen similar things with Canon's DPP software. The answer to these discrepancies has been that Canon and Nikon understand their RAW files better than Adobe can understand them because they don't share their "secrets" with Adobe. But, what we can do is take one of a few approaches in LR: one is to find some presets that other users have developed for your camera and import them into LR, see what works, and apply them. Another is to develop presets yourself: you can save a Develop Preset, set a preset at import, or set a "Default Preset" for your camera. There is also a method that gets used a lot to calibrate your camera in Camera Raw using a GretagMacBeth color card, then open the image in Photoshop and running a script that analyzes the captured colors and puts out a calibration preset for your camera.
As far as high ISO settings, others have complained about LR's noise reduction for higher ISO's, so you're not alone. I noticed something interesting, though, in the past couple of days. I was testing my daughter's Canon Rebel, which she has capturing RAW+JPEG, as I was setting up LR on her computer. I decided to check out her high ISO quality (it goes up to 1600) and found that Canon's in-camera noise reduction, which it applies to the jpegs, was quite good. At first glimpse it seems better than what I could do in LR.
I guess, Caine, that if I was in your position, I would import all of my RAW into LR, and just use the Nikon tiff approach for the images I needed to edit for use. I know what you mean about huge files. Fortunately, hard drives are cheap compared to earlier days, but still...so, I would approach my workflow like import into LR, do whatever I could with LR, but for output go to Nikon first to create a tiff before, say, editing in Photoshop or whatever.

Any benefit to convert NEF to DNG

Does anyone convert their NEF (D300 in my case) files to Adobe DNG and then start their workflow?
Or are the NEF's just imported into Aperture and then adjustments are made?
I use Aperture now for a long time. I usually just import the NEF files. I've been using Photoshop CS4 to learn it and have just been sending the NEF file within Aperture to Photoshop. And of course it comes back to Aperture as a PSD file.
I ask because Aperture has a tendency to lag making adjustments. But I noticed Aperture doesn't lag if I make adjustments on the PSD file or a DNG file. Adjustments are in real time.
So I'm thinking of converting my NEF's as the first step of my work flow. Then import the DNG's into Aperture.
I have all of the NIK Software and working with this in Photoshop is 1000% easier in Photoshop than Aperture.
I can't seem to tell any degrading of the NEF converted to DNG. I've done a few now and compare. I can't seem to tell. Pre or post adjustments made in Aperture.
Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

DNG is just Adobe's proprietary attempt to sell the world on using Adobe's RAW conversion format ("DNG," the result of converting camera makers' individual RAW files using Adobe Camera Raw, "ACR"). Adobe benefited greatly with PDF and wants to do the same with RAW DSLR capture.
DNG is not better. In fact most folks (at least the ones not already sleeping with Adobe) will most often find conversions by Aperture and/or individual camera vendors' converters (like NX2) to be visually better than ACR to DNG. However differences among converters are usually slight enough anyway to make RAW-conversion quality irrelevant when compared to workflow.
The conversion of RAW data is different for each individual camera, no RAW converter is best for all cameras, and the results of conversion are a matter of individual taste in any event.
Note that most camera vendors keep RAW algorithms and protocols very secret, so folks like Adobe and Apple do a lot of deduction (some say speculation) when building each camera's RAW converter based on imperfect information. That is why most folks consider Nikon's conversions of NEF files "best;" but unfortunately Nikon's workflow is atrocious.
...is there any significant advantage to converting (to DNG)?
No, there is significant disadvantage in converting NEF to DNG. You would be seriously disrupting Aperture's workflow just to achieve what most folks consider to be less-good RAW conversions.
Some photogs do find significant advantage in first using NX2 to convert Nikon NEF files to TIFF. Others find the differences from Aperture small enough not to justify the weight of the NX2 workflow.
I read the Adobe site regarding how DNG is more a standard then NEF or any proprietary camera file.
That is just disgusting Adobe marketing BS. Nikon was around supporting standards like their lens mount for decades before Adobe even existed. Even if Nikon self-destructed today there will always be plenty of RAW converters for the billions of NEF files already created.
Of course Adobe would love it if the world lowered their standards to some Adobe-defined lowest common denominator, but then we would probably not see the various consistently fast tech advances like the low light performance of the Nikon D3.

BUG Before/After Function stopped working after Convert Photo to DNG

Hi,
I just converted all my photos to DNG using Lightroom's Convert Photo to DNG function and the Before/After " \ " function (in Develop module) is not working anymore... same problem in Lightroom 3.0
regards,
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.

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

Converting TIFF to Word Document

I've just switched to Mac and I'm wondering how I can convert TIFF files into word documents.
Previously, when using my PC, I was able to do so by using the document imaging program found in the microsoft office tools.

TIFF is an image format. Preview should be able to convert the file to a JPEG or a similar file. If you want it as a Word document, the way to do that is to open the file then copy the image and paste it into a Word document or import it into a new Word document, then save.

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)

Can anyone please tell me where I can aquire a Photoshop CS6 Raw Converter(nef, not dng) for my Nikon D600.
I would also be grateful if you could assist me in telling me how you install the "pluggin" into the suite software?
Any assistance would be most appreciated.

The Nikon D600 is supported by Camera Raw 7.3 and later which is compatible with CS6.
In CS6, click Help > Updates and your Camera Raw should be updated.
Check the exact version of Camera Raw which you have installed via Help > About Plug-ins > Camera Raw

Lightroom 5.7 will not convert .nef to dng from my Nikon d750. Stand alone dng converter will not recognize or convert the files.

Lightroom 5.7 will not convert .nef to dng from my Nikon d750. Stand alone dng converter will not recognize or convert the files. Any know whats wrong?

I don't understand why you feel you need to use ViewNX to download your images from the camera. Lightroom has an excellent import process. I don't see that you gain anything by using the Nikon software. It seems to me that it has the capability of just creating more problems.
If you want to convert your D750 files to DNG using the standalone DNG converter thing you need to have DNG converter 8.7 installed. Once you have it installed, just choose the FOLDER in the DNG converter, but don't open it in the DNG converter file browser. If you open that folder then you will get the message that there are no files to convert. The converter works on the folder level, not the individual file level.

Lightroom mysteriously deleted files after trying to convert RAW to DNG

Running Lightroom 1.3 on the MacPro 10.4.8
Strange thing happened. I had a catlogue of 11,824 photos yesterday.
The catalog was a mix of RAW and dngs and I wanted to convert the remaining RAWs to DNGS.
All photos were in place, no ? marks before I used "Convert photo to DNG" command. In the Convert photo to DNG I had the boxes for Only Convert RAW files, and Delete originals after successful conversion CHECKED.
I realize I may have been asking way too much for the computer to do, and wasn't surprised when nothing happened for about 5 minutes. Finally I got the message that it couldn't convert because the original file could not be found.
After that 2,268 files were missing. And as the day goes on today, and use the program that number is increasing, even when not asking to convert.
I don't think it's a hardware issue. Ran disk utility and all checks out with that. And the deleted files are on 2 different drives.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

First step I'd check and find the actual images, make note of their file paths. I'd be surprised if any file was truly missing; just that LR has lost the path for whatever reason.
Second, I'd do the conversion on a much smaller scale- in my case, my workflow is such that I choose to convert to DNG when most or all of my work on a folder is done. So I do it pretty much by folder, which generally don't exceed a few hundred images.
