DNG conversion of CR2 files

With Adobe DNG Converter, is there any way to automatically delete the original CR2 files as they are being converted to DNG, so that I don't end up with two versions of each file, one with a CR2 and one with a DNG suffix? I could not find this option under the DNG Preferences.
Many thanks!

Not in the DNG converter. However, if you use the DNG converter to download your images from the card you can simply convert as they are downloaded. Then all you have to do is format the card in your camera again. If you convert to DNG using Lightroom after the images have been imported you can set your options to delete the original raw file after successful conversion.

  • DNG Copnverter and CR2 files

    I have a new Canon 60Da and an old Photoshop CS4 which requires that I use DNG Converter to convert my .cr2 files to DNGs for access.  I'm using version 7.4 of the converter, just downloaded and installed on a WinVista 64 machine.  If I open the converter and browse to select images the converter refuses to acknowledge any folders as containing .cr2 Canon raw files.  It continually reports zero files selected.  There is nothing wrong or unusual with the path to the folder.
    I am able to drag and drop up to about 25 files onto the shortcut icon on my desktop and the converter opens up and converts them.  I can also drop a folder of files onto the icon with success.  If I drop >25 files onto the shortcut I get a fatal error message: "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe The data area passed to a system call is too small."
    From the forum it appears that this was a problem back in mid-2011 so I guess I shouldn't expect any joy from Adobe.  Even aside from the fact that failing to support new cameras in ACR can only be explained as either incompetent programming or a conscious business decision to 'encourage' people to upgrade to later Photoshop versions.

    When using the DNG converter to select your images, you cannot choose individual images or groups of images.  You can only choose the folder that contains raw images.  The DNG converter will not list actual files.  Only the folder that contains the files.  If you want to convert individual images you have to use that drag/drop method.

  • Are there issues with DNG Converter reading CR2 files from Canon 5D Mark III?

    I am having problems similar to what's detailed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4356184 (which unfortunately provides no explanation/solution) ... I choose the file where my CR2 RAW files are and try to convert but it tells me there are no files to convert. Only differences are I'm on Windows not a Mac, and I'm using Elements 9 not 10.

    Let's continue to use that same forum thread for this conversation.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 conversion of CR2 files

    How can I convert Canon 60D CR2 raw files to camera raw?  The Camera Raw plug-in 6.2 did not work.

    See the link below. It states the cameras supported in different version of Adobe Camera raw:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Link below mentions the updates available for different versions of PSE.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform =Windows
    If your camera is not supported, and the update is not available for you, you can download the DNG Converter:
    Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) DPP
    Windows download: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5519
    Mac download: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5518
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • ACR 8.4RC DNG conversion can create files that crash Adobe DNG Codec 2.0

    If I use the ACR 8.4 DNG converter to convert a raw file from my newly acquired Fuji X-T1, and I use the default compatibility option of ACR 7.1, the resulting DNG file causes Windows Explorer to crash whenever I navigate to the folder that contains the file.
    I believe that this is happening because Adobe DNG Codec 2.0 is trying to create a thumbnail for the file, and it is not capable of dealing with DNG files that require the Camera Raw 7.1 demosaicing algorithm.
    If I convert the same raw files and ask for ACR 6 compatibility, I don't have any problem navigating to the resulting folder. However, the resulting DNG files are much larger. Moreover, I understand that those files have already been demoasiced, which means that any future improvements in demosaicing algorithms will be moot.
    My question, then, is whether the DNG Codec will be updated any time soon to handle files produced by the 8.4 DNG converter.

    I’m on Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit version. So far as I know, I’m current on windows updates.
    A sample image can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/izcl857d37fmtdc/sGj2wuG3LF
    Of course, it is possible that some other codec on my computer is the cause of the crash. However, I know for certain that
    When I uninstall DNG Codec 2.0, I get no thumbnails for these images and no crash.
    When I (re)install DNG Codec 2.0, Windows Explorer crashes the moment I navigate to the folder that contains these images.
    I have found no problem with DNG files created from other manufacturers’ raw files.

  • Batch conversion of CR2 to JPG

    I am trying to automate a batch conversion of CR2 files to jpg files in Photoshop CS4.  I have converted them to dng.  When I open them in CS4, it opens the Canon photo editor, but will not record the actions. Is there another way to automate this?  There are a lot of photos, I can't change all of them one by one.  Thanks.

  • Converting Canon .CR2 files to .dng

    I have what appears to be the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter (8.6.0.254); but when I direct it to a folder containing .CR2 files from my Canon PowerShot G7X camera, it tells me "No items match your search" and does no conversion. How can I convert this type of RAW file to .DNG?

    I don't understand your question. Here is what I do in the Digital Negative Converter:
    - Step 1 is "Select the images to convert"; I click on "Select folder" and navigate to the folder containing a .CR2 file
    - in that window, I see "No items match your search." even though it contains a .CR2 file from my Canon camera. Whether I then click on Select or Cancel makes no difference, since the program does not recognize any files.
    - If despite that, I click on Convert, I receive an error message "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
    In other words, .CR2 raw files are not being recognized by the latest released production version of the converter.

  • Converting Canon S90 CR2 files with DNG 5.6

    I have converted files from my S90 with the latest version of DNG Converter. When I compare the DNG file to the original CR2 file, there is a marked increase in saturation, and also more noise. Am I doing something wrong with the conversion? Help please. I am using Adobe RAW 4.6 with Photoshop CS3.

  • I have a Canon 6d and would like to convert my raw ( CR2) photo's into dng files. Adobe DNG converter 8.4 doesn't recognise the CR2 files. How can i solve this?

    i have a Canon 6d and would like to convert my raw ( CR2) photo's into dng files. Adobe DNG converter 8.4 doesn't recognise the CR2 files. How can i solve this?

    It is possible that you are not following instructions correctly in the DNG converter. The DNG converter interface asks for the FOLDER that contains your raw images. Choose the folder, but don't open it. After you have chosen the folder, click on the Convert button. The DNG conversion process should start.  Does that help you?

  • Question on converting edited CR2 files to DNG

    Sorry, I cannot find a separate DNG forum. If this question is in the wrong place, please direct me to the correct forum.
    I have lots of CR2 RAW files on my computer, and I am considering converting them to DNG. Many of these RAW files have already been edited and so have a separate XMP sidecar file containing the edits in the same folder. If I convert (using the Adobe DNG converter) these edited RAW files to DNG, what is converted? The CR2 RAW file alone, so that the converted DNG file is the same as the original unedited CR2 file? If so, what happens to the orphaned XMP file? Ignored?
    My concern is that I will lose all RAW edits if I convert to DNG because the conversion process ignores the edits contained in the separate XMP file.
    Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

    So what you're saying is that the DNG conversion de-mosaics the image?  I guess that's not surprising, since for compatibility with older Photoshop versions you'd have to deliver a more or less standardized format.
    Kind of throws a big monkey wrench into claims that converting to DNG is functionally equivalent to opening raw images directly though...  I was experimenting with a "fall leaves" image last night and no matter what I tried with the 2010 process I was still able to get more detail in bright red leaves with the 2003 process.
    I suppose that says if you want maximum flexibility and control you'd better buy the Photoshop upgrades and stick to opening raw camera files directly.  A variant on the "if you want to play you have to pay" adage.

    P.S., Does the DNG converter read the centralized database as well as XMP files?  I personally prefer the database to the extra files.

  • Problem Converting Canon CR2 Files to DNG

    I am currently on holiday, shooting photos with my Canon 70D in raw (CR2), and I have my Macbook Air with me, with Lightroom 5.4 installed on it.  After each day's shooting, I have been putting the flash card from the camera into the laptop, and downloading the photos using Lightroom, converting the CR2 files to DNG in the process.  This was working fine until a couple of days ago when suddenly, Lightroom has decided that it can no longer do the conversion.  It displays the photos on the card, it allows me to choose the ones I want to download, and then it tells me that it cannot convert/download them because it cannot read the files.  Well, if it cannot read the files, how can it display them so that I can make my choices?  And why, after working successfully for weeks, am I suddenly getting this error message ... nothing has changed in my hardware or software in either the camera or computer.  Any and all help would be most appreciated.  Thank you!!

    Thanks very much for the answer, but I'm afraid it is not very enlightening ... at least to someone like me.  I do not understand where I would look for a write permission issue ... especially since nothing has changed (as far as I know).  Can you give me any further help?  Thanks!

  • Can't open .CR2 files in PhotoShop CS5, Camera RAW or Adobe DNG Converter

    Firstly take note I shot these with a Canon EOS 450D (or Rebel XSi)...
    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 shot 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!

    Are these the same exact files you've opened before that you cannot now open?
    Or are they newly copied files (camera or CF card to computer)?
    Can you not open ANY Canon 450D files, even those you find online and download?
    What I'm getting at with these questions is to try to eliminate or suspect data corruption of the files on your disk.
    Exactly what versions of the various tools do you have, specifically (don't guess - go check)?

  • Windows 8 Elements 11 Problem with DNG and CR2 files

    Have a Windows 8 machine with Elements 11 which has Camera Raw 7.4 installed and showing correctly in the editor. The Browser shows thumbnails of the DNG and CR2 files, but when an attempt is made to edit them, the editor opens but does not open the file. Same thing happens if I try to open the file using the File Open from the menu.
    Also I have been through the help and forums and found an article about opening jpeg files as Camera Raw files (http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-jpeg-files-in-adobe-camera-raw-in-photoshop-element s/) and this does not work either.
    Help please !

    Disclaimer:  The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER.  I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
    Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails.  Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system.  Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it.  In any case, I find it works very well.

  • 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!

  • Dng and CR2 files display as icons in CS5

    Now I have installed CS5 on three machines - a new installation on WIN7, and here everything is alright - no problem!
    Two machines running XP wth a previous CS4 installation uninstalled show up in Bridge with this problem:
    dng and CR2 files display as icons!!
    Everything is updated, ACR plugin placed as should be, and Camera RAW is working fine when OPENING the file. It is only a display problem, but this is serious enough - you cannot go through your downloaded pictures.
    I have tried to follow a solution close to the one given for CS4:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
    but I am out of luck.
    Is it an XP problem, or has it something to do with the previous installation of CS4?
    Any suggestions will be great! I have searced, read, tried, searched, tried.... some share this problem, but I haven't seen any soloution.
    Thanks, Jan
