DNG conversions not opening

I dusted off an old Toshiba laptop that has a copy of CS4 Photoshop and the newest DNG Conversion software (v8.8). Pointed the DNG at a folder of RAW files (Olympus ORF), converted them, opened them in ACR and saved the files that are now .dng files in Bridge...but CS4 won't open them, says it doesn't support this file type. How can Adobe Photoshop not open an Adobe file type? I thought DNG made all RAW files backward compatible for Photoshop going back to the beginning of time. Any ideas, suggestions, solutions?

I got a couple of sample raws and converted them on the mac side using the 8.8 dng converter and they seem to open on both photoshop cs4 on mac and windows xp
Did you check to make sure both your photoshop cs4 versions have camera raw installed and are updated to camera raw 5.7?

DNG will not open after Maverick osx

After installing Maverick osx, many dng do not open and I get the message:
Could not complete your request because the file format module can not parse the file.
The error occurs randomly on files that have always worked well.
I already tried to reinstall Photoshop CC and Bridge but the problem remains.
What can I do?
I use an iMac late 2012, 16gb of ram, graphics card GTX 680MX and disk fusion.

I found a temporary solution deleting the XMP files, after the DNG works perfectly in both Photoshop and Bridge.
If using DNG files only there should no XMP files. With DNG they are written to the image. Only if you edit RAW files should you have XMP files as they contain the edits.

Converted raw (or .dng) will not open in ACR?

OK, now that I've gotten sort-of over the hurdle of synching all the pieces associated with a smart object, I've hit the NEXT hurdle (SOs appear to be the usual double-edged sword - kinda handy in a way but rife with pitfalls and hurdles)...
I open a .NEF in Bridge, go into ACR and open the file as a Smart Object in Photoshop. Double-click the layer icon and I'm back in ACR, just like all the demos and seminars I've watched. But, take the SAME .NEF in Bridge and open it as a standard image in Photoshop, then CONVERT it to a smart object, double-click the layer icon and all I get is a .psd and NOT jump into ACR. It does exactly the same thing with a .dng file And from Lightroom OR ACR...
I found an entry from a discussion (not in here, I couldn't find anything about this in here) about CS3 (yes 3), where a user had this problem and was told it's because the original image was opened as a rasterized image, NOT as a Smart Object from ACR... Which isn't making sense to me 'cause who cares what it was way back when, it's NOW a Smart Object and should be treated like one no matter HOW it got there...
Is there some preference or setting or something I need to change in Photoshop so this will work as expected is is there really some restriction about exactly HOW the Smart Object got created? And if so, is there some paragraph is big, bold letters in the documentation that makes it really clear to the uninformed that you MUST open it as a Smart Object or it won't work?
And yes, I KNOW that in ACR I can set it so it defaults to opening as a Smart Object, but like many other PS users I normally use Lightroom and I haven't seen any such default. Which means it's REALLY easy to forget to go down to the Open as Smart Object and instead just hit Open in Photoshop...

Listen, buddy, no one has any obligation to answer your questions here in this user to user forum. Lose the attitude.
I'll repeat the answer anyway, as you apparently are unable to read replies carefully.

…CAN I take an image that was opened in Photoshop as a "standard" image, then converted to a smart object and edit it in ACR? If yes, HOW?
No, ABSOLUTELY NOT ! You cannot. Period. That's what I said in post #2 of this thread.
ACR will only open and edit Smart Objects that contain raw data. Any image opened in Photoshop —not as a Smart Öbject—is already cooked and contains no raw data any more. Additionally, ACR can edit JPEGs and TIFFs if you set your preferences accordingly, but with much less latitude and functionality than a raw file.
What's more, the cooked Smart Object 's now in the cooked PSB format (a variation of PSD that can handle much larger files than PSD can) so there's no way on Earth ACR can open it.

Dng will not open in bridge

I converted arw files from a Sony RX10011 to dng with Photoshop DNG converter successfully,
placing the file in 'My Pictures'. When I open the dng files and try to put them in bridge so as
see the images, bridge puts the files in arw form and can't recognize them. (although tey are dng files
in "MY Pictures). How do I correct this? I can bring images from 'My Pictures" dng file into P.Shop.

What do you mean when you say that Bridge puts them in arw form?

DNG converter not opening

I've seen a couple of threads on this matter, but nonE which report the problem as being solved. I downloaded the lastest DNG 7.4 onto my Mac 10.5.8 for use with Photoshop CS4, but as soon as I try and open the application it comes up with this message. Any Advice?
Many Thanks

Try installing directly too the desktop rather than applications.
Make sure you are using the correct download link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5257
You then need to launch from the desktop icon and:
1. elect the folder of arw images you would like to convert to DNG.
2. Select the location you would like the new DNG files to be saved.
3. Choose rename if desired.
4. Click convert.

DNG conversion fail and Photoshop will not open my NEF files (Newbie question)

Two part question. First, I just recently installed photoshop CS4 to my (windows vista) computer and I go to upload NEF photos to bridge and I check the box that says "Convert to DNG" and when it finishs uploading it says "Files successfully copied, However, DNG conversion failed." It says it everytime and I don't know what to do about that.
Second part: I try to open my NEF files in photoshop it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I am using a Nikon D90 and I don't know if that has anything to do with this. I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum, I am new to this and I thought maybe camera raw had something to do with this at least.
Thanks for any help

You need to update your Camera Raw plug-in to either version 5.2 or 5.3RC, as well as the new DNG converter. They are available on the Adobe download page, and there are complete instructions for installation available there.

I cannot open RW2 stills images from my new Panasonic GH4 in Lightroom 5.4, Raw 8.4 or DNG conveter 8.4. Thet do not open in the CC version of Lightroom or Photoshop either. when or how can I resolve this?

The only way at this point I have found to open the files is the SilkyPix software that came with the camera. I have sent SilkyPix an email to see if they will offer a DNG conversion option. At this point only jpeg or tiff is the available option.
So I export all the files out (unaltered) from SilkyPix to tiff, then import into Lightroom 5.4 as DNGs.

True, and I did contact them about offering a DNG export option which I think would be a good move in any event as other raw for,mats are offering that for future file opening protection
That would solve the issue if they could export the raw data as a DNG. But that's unlikely. They probably don't want to provide you the option of using another raw converter (for whatever silly reasons). It appears they offer the option of saving a DNG of the rendered not raw data but that doesn't buy you anything. Bottom line is, you have to wait on Adobe to update the proprietary raw format that has no reason to be proprietary in the first place. The optional JPEG most cameras provide isn't proprietary and everyone has access to that data the day the camera ships. But for some politically stupid reasons, the camera manufacturers don't do this with the raw data and we all get to wait on every other company who's raw converter we'd like to use to spend the time and money to update the format. It will eventually happen, begging the question why the camera manufacturer's do this in the first place.

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:

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

Hi,
When i am uploading Material Master data the error says Could not open the file proj_subproj_obj.lsmw.conv file.
I could read the conversion data in LSMW but there is a problem with session creation. I have created a Job and assigned a variant to it.
Please sugget me to resolve this.
Thanks.

The following files must be in the path described by
the environment variable "LIBPATH":
Check your env variables...
LIBPATH path must contain quoted libraries,

"There was not enough memory" error, DNG conversion.

I have CS4 and I like to convert my files to dng, however, I can't seem to do it on multiple raw files, because after fifty or so, I get the message, Incomplete because 'There was not enough memory.'
I originally thought this may have had something to do with Bridge and trying to save way too many files through acr in bridge, since bridge is a bit of a ram hog at times and has cache issues, so I tried using the Adobe DNG Converter standalone application, and the same thing happened.
I am trying to convert just over a thousand images, NEF, about 15M each. I have several hundred gigs of HD space, GeForce 8600GT video, 2G ram, WinXP SP2.
I track my actual memory usage and adobe dng converter has never used more than 6MB of memory.
Anyone know why I can't convert my files?

I want to try to reproduce this problem, a few questions...
Which version of the DNG converter did you use (the latest is 5.5)?
What camera produced the NEFs?
What NEF settings did you use, if any, compressed, uncompressed, 14-bit, etc.?
What DNG conversion settings did you use?
Did the NEFs already have settings (XMP sidecar files?). If you did have settings, what kind of settings, just basic adjustments, or did the settings also include localized corrections, spot heals, etc.?
Thanks,
David

FireFox Hello does not open conversation window after partner joined

When I initiate a conversation and my partner joins, I can hear a sound and get a notification, but the conversation window does not change. That means it does not open the larger chat window.
If I then press the Hello button and select the conversation, pressing the link does nothing.
If I then copy&paste the conversation link in a new FireFox tab, I get the chat window, BUT it asks me to "join the conversation". If I do so, it simply says there are already 2 people in the conversation.
It seems to work fine, when somebody else initiates the conversation.
I've disabled all add-ons, except no-script, which I set to accept all scripts. I have no other FireFox versions installed.

Thanks for getting back at all!
It doesn't work with 36.0.4, too.
When I use the Browser Console and press the HELLO button for the first time, I get the following two errors:
''Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource at self ("default-src jar:// about: file: chrome:"). about:loopconversation
uncaught exception: document is not associated to any tab <unknown>''
When I initiate a conversation and try to respond on the other computer, I also get a very long error:

DNG open in library does not open in develop module

Something that never happened to me before:
A DNG image that is in my library already since 2007 , edited, keyworded and in a collection does not open in the Develop module.
Screen stays black though the preview is visible and the photo in the filmstrip is selected.
When choosing CTRL-E (Edit in Photoshop) is opens normally in CS5 as a DNG
In LR when I make a virtual copy the image is visible (of the virtual copy) and I can edit it.
I tried to export this picture as a catalogue but the problem is still there when I open this catalogue on my Laptop.
In LR when I try to import the picture there is no problem though develop history lost of course.
But develop changes are there , I can reset the photo.
It also opens as a Raw in PS CS 5 without a hitch.
It looks like the develop history became corrupted of that one photo , I hope
Frans

I sincerely hope I will not stumble upon more pictures like this.
Because I found this one by accident.
And I don't see a way to check my whole catalogue for this error.
