DNG converter 7.1 doesn't see  NEF files

I've been using a previous version (4.5) of the DNG Convertor without any problems.
I downloaded 7.1 version after buying a Nikon D800.
However when navigating to folders the program sees NO  files (D800, Nikon  D3, RAW, jpg.  or otherwise) saying "no items match your search" once the folder is opened.
Please help.  Computer is Windows PC running Vista Home Premium.

Jim,
Please see my response to your answer on the adjacent posting - just to reiterate, I can see and try to select a folder I know to contain NEFs, but the program says "no folder selected" so that's that basically it and I can go no further. I've been using an earlier version of the dng converter which behaves in the way you outline with no problems at all. However I need the new version for D800 NEFs. I've tried to post a screenshot of the window where I select a folder. - I see the image isn't very clear but I've selected a folder outlined in blue on the left in the browsing window and the large window says "no items match your search"

    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?

  • I can't see .NEF files in finder from mi NIkon D7100. Helllp !!!!!

    I can't see .NEF files in finder from mi NIkon D7100. Helllp !!!!!
    I can open NEF files in Camera Raw but Im not seeing tumbs in finder !
    Also I cant see them in preview too.

    Well, I don't know what the problem actually is in the first place, it should work as is, I think something is messed up with the present driver and replacing it would perhaps get around that problem.
    It seems like I'd be adding one more layer of complexity to the Vista machine...
    Not sure how the Vista machine is involved in this, since these are drivers for the Mac.
    Though to involve the Vista Machine, One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...

  • DNG converter don't work for some RW2-files

    Hi,
    i found out, that there ist now direct support from CS4 to my new Lumix LX5. :-(
    In  some forums i got the hint to use the free DNG converter. that works  for most of the files, but some rw2's it can't convert. yesterday i made  10 pictures and the converter only identificate 7 of them. The only  thing i noticeed ist, that this files are "only" 7MB. The others are  10MB. When i use irfanview to look the rw2's are no problems. the  pictures are all very good. somebody an idea whats wrong with the 3?
    Thanks
    pittip
    sorry for my english, but i hope you understand me!??

    I don't know anything at all about your file format, but it sounds as if there is an option to create compressed raw files.  I know Canon has this option.  It may be that somehow you used this compressed option, assuming that there is one, and it may be that the DNG converter does not support the compressed raw format.  If not, maybe someone else will have a better answer.

  • I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

    I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

    The XML format Premiere uses is not supported in FCPX. The only way I know of that may work is to go through FCP7 and then use 7toX to get to FCPX.

  • I downloaded DNG Converter 8.7 and as a standalone app it doesn't see RAW files from my 7D Mark 2.

    I don't want to upgrade from Elements 11 yet.
    When I got my 60D I had to install the DNG converter and after a few uses, Elements 11 started to see them too.
    On a 64 bit Win7 PC.

    When you use Select the images to convert, you don't want to actually open the folder, just click on the name of the folder in Content Pane of windows explore, not in the Navigation Pane.

  • Even with the dng converter I can´t open my nef´s from new nikon D610 to use in LR4...any suggestions?

    I found out that LR4 does not support the Nikon D610 files. Downloaded the DNG Converter, but still i can not choose the nef´s (grey shaded and no chance to click/select them...please help.Thank you in advance, Christoph

    Please supply additional info about the procedures you are following.
    Be aware that the DNG Converter is a standalone program that does not work through Lightroom. Its primary function is the conversion of raw files from supported camera models. Use the latest version which is version 8.7.
    You will need to open the program and first select a folder / sub-folder that contains the files you wish to convert and proceed from there. see the screen capture.

  • Updated camera raw / DNG converter for CS4 compatible with D800 NEF?

    I have just bought a D800 but cannot convert my NEF files into DNG. I have Photoshop CS4 with latest camera raw updates available. I see in the forum that an update is available in the lab but only for CS5. Shall we expect an update for CS4 as well? Thanks

    No.  There will be no more ACR updates for Photoshop CS4.  That version is no longer supported.  You can download the DNG converter and convert your images to digital negative files that can then be opened in the ACR that you already have.  Since your camera is so new I'm not sure if it's even supported by the DNG converter.  You might have to wait for the next update.
    Your other alternative would be to upgrade your Photoshop.  Of course, that will cost a little money.  But not nearly as much as your new camera did.

  • Preferences Change in DNG Converter 4.6 Doesn't Persist

    I am using DNG Converter v4.6.0.30 on a Mac running OS X 10.6.2 and I'm noticing that preference changes do not persist in the next session.  I'm trying to change "embed original RAW file" and the next time I run the program, the setting is unchecked.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program (moving the preference file to a difference location).  After reinstalling the application, there is no preference file in the ~/library/preferences folder.
    I checked the contents of the com.adobe.DNGConverter.plist file and it only contained items pertaining to Default Folder X (for example, one of the items was DefaultFolderX:NSNavOpenPanel:column.width).  I relaunched DNG Converter and the preference file was created, but it only contained one item - bplist00—_&NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth#@g@.  I reopened DNG Converter and selected "embed original RAW file" and then closed the application.  I checked the preference file and it still did not have anything pertaining to "embed original RAW file."
    How can I get DNG Converter to "remember" the preferences I selected?
    Thanks,
    Rocky

    You do need ACR 8.4 for the A5000.   I would buy Elements from Adobe not the Mac app store so upgrades work better.
    The DNG Converter should work, though.  You need to single-click on the folder with the raw files in it, rather than open it to reveal the raw files.  They are grayed out because the DNGC needs to work with a FOLDER not a file, so if you can see the files, then you’ve clicked down into the folder and go back up one, and just select the folder name.

  • CS2 doesn't recognise NEF files

    Just purchased new Nikon D3 to replace a Kodak SLR/n. The NEF files are not recognised by either my Mac-based CS2, Bridge or ACR. There is no NEF plug-in in any of the File Format folders - how can I find one to install?

    James, you will need to download the DNG converter to convert the NEF to DNG in order to use CS2's Camera Raw.
    Or you could update to CS3 (and the latest versions of Camera Raw) or go the Lightroom route (see the Adobe website for more info)

  • I can't see NEF files in Adobe Bridge

    My Bridge doesn't show my nef files (taken by both d40x and d700). The thumbnails in Adobe Bridge S3 show the icon Nef but they don't show the image. I can't see the images in raw. If I click on the icons 'camera raw' opens and I can develop the nef files. I'd like to see the previews instead. I've downloaded the latest camera raw (4.6) and manually installed it but it doesn't work. The camera raw instructions say to install it in:
    Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    but I have this directory instead:
    Adobe\AdobeBridgeCS3\plug-ins
    Who can help me?!
    Thank you!

    Yes, it must be in a location above and nowhere else.  Only one version is allowed in this directory.

  • 2.1.4 doesn't see tiff files to import

    Hello again
    In dealing with the green overlay issue, I upgraded to 2.1.4.
    I'm working on archiving (and restoring a bit) some old family photos, and while working out the green ghost, I decided they weren't sharp enough and decided to rescan them using a different scanner.
    I scanned them at 1200 ppi and saved them in tiff format (16-bit grayscale and 48-bit colour) instead of jpg for better quality. I figured that would be fine since Aperture creates tifs when I edit in NIK plugins.
    Tonight I opened Aperture and went to import my tiffs into a new project and there were no files to import. Which is strange, since I could see them right there in the finder.
    So, I thought maybe they were too big, and opened one in PS, changed the mode to 8-bit grayscale and 600 ppi, but Aperture still didn't see it in the folder.
    Soooo, I renamed the 2.1.4 Aperture app and reinstalled my 2.1.2 Aperture and ta-da! there were the files!
    So 2.1.2 imported all the tiffs, large as they were, into my project (referenced). I closed this app, and reopened the 2.1.4 Aperture and sure enough, there in that new project were the images that it couldn't see to import for itself.
    What gives?
    Sure it's a work-around, but now i'm having to tolerate the green overlay and wait for aperture to think it over before it shows me some of my work, then I have to import with an earlier version just because it can't see the files, (on top of having to convert my RAW files to DNG when the camera came out 2 years ago) ... this is getting frustrating and is tres inefficient.
    Is there something I'm missing here?
    Elizabeth

    Well, there you go. That solved the issue.
    I didn't realize that Aperture would search it's existing projects to find 'duplicates'!
    And yet, the names are different for the tiffs and jpgs, only the images themselves are the same.
    I am befuddled.
    Thank you for the solution, Tony

  • Distiller Doesn't See PS File...

    After creating a pdf from a ps file in a particular folder, if I save another ps in that same folder and return to make another pdf file, Distiller doesn't see it. I have to quit distiller in order to go back to that same folder to see the ps. This is a new thing that came about, I have been able to do this successfully in the past. Distiller Version 6.0.2, MAC OSX 10.3.9.
    Any ideas?

    That's weird... Everything is in the same folder... Ah, never mind, I have found the solution in the meantime Like with dvips, I have command (which I didn't know I had ) ps2pdf... And everything works there...

  • DNG converter fails to extract embedded .cr2 raw files

    I just tried to extract embedded raw files from 889 raw files from a Canon 5D3 having been converted by the DNG converter 6.7 beta - the DNG converter only succeeded with extracting three of them. I also tried with the 6.6 stable version with the same result.
    If DNG converter can't easily retrieve the embedded raw files then I think this "feature" should be left out - it's misleading people into taking unwanted risks when you're better off just keeping the originals (it's a bit more messy to organise and archive two sets of files, but I'd rather do that than having to mess around with this)
    So stay away from this "feature" unless you want to paint yourself into a corner.

    Download and test the most recent version (final GM) of DNG Converter 6.7 and retest...might also be useful to provide a bit more info such as OS & CPU...and also whether or not the DNGs behave normally in ACR or LR. Basic troubleshooting info to test or duplicate your findings would be useful (required) before you can honestly be making such "blanket" statements about DNG Converter...
