DNG Converter 8.3 issues help.

I have PS5 and Lightroom 5.6. I use an Olympus E M-1 camera. When I went to send a RAW photo from LR to PS, I get a message saying that I needed to update Camera Raw. I never use Camera Raw. So after a live chat, I downloaded DNG Converter 8.3 to support the E M-1 RAW files. The converter is in my Mac Applications folder. Do I need to do anything else with it? I still get the same message and can't send my E M-1 photos from Lightroom to Photoshop. I have no problem sending them from Aperture. PS does support my RAW files. Thanks

The DNG converter is a program that you run independently of Lightroom or Photoshop. You use it to create digital negative copies of your raw files. These DNG copies contain the original raw image data, but are in a standardized file format. Consequently, you are able open the DNG files with Adobe products. Just having the DNG converter on your computer will not make it possible for you to open the raw files in older versions of software. You have to use the converter to create files that are compatible with what you are using.

Lightroom, dng converter and D750! Help!

I have recently purchased a d750 and i then realised i couldn't use raw in lightroom I have read many articles and tried my best to fix this issue and I'm at my wits end!
I use lightroom 5 and have a macbook pro, i recently downloaded the dng converter 8.7 and when i try to import an image is won't let me select it at all to convert i don't know what I'm doing wrong but i need this fixed ASAP as i have photo shoots coming up!

After installing the DNG Converter you can run/open it and use it to convert a FOLDER of raw (NEF) images to DNGs and can import those DNGs into an older LR.
There are usually one or two things that cause issues for people who are new to the DNG Converter and/or have a new Nikon camera:
1) The DNG Converter works on a FOLDER not an individually-specified image, so when you are telling it where the folder it, you should single-click on the folder to select it, not double-click to open the folder. Every other piece of software, including ACR, will allow selecting a folder by opening it but the DNGC won’t, you have to just single-click to highlight the folder name.
2) If you have touched (transferred, viewed) your new Nikon camera images with any older Nikon software (Nikon Transfer, View NX), like came with your previous camera, then the images are corrupted by using that obsolete software so Adobe says they are an invalid format. Try copying the NEFs with your OS tools, like Finder or Explorer, and then see if they were in the DNG Converter. If it is important to uncorrupt the few images you’ve taken, then you can use a utility from here:

DNG converter 8.3 help please

I have Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS5. After being helped on a live chat, I downloaded the DNG converter 8.3 so I can send a RAW photo from my Olympus E m-1 from LR to PS. It still doesn't work. Do I have to do anything with the DNG Converter after it was installed in my Mac Applications folder? I do not use Camera Raw or Bridge, but I Photoshop won't let me send a photo from my camera to PS from Lightroom because of the Camera Raw issue. I had no problem sending a E M-1 photo to PS5 from Aperture. Thanks

The DNG converter is a program that you have to download and install. After it has been installed, you have to run the program and use it to create DNG copies of your raw images. Then, those DNG copies can be opened with older versions of Camera Raw. The DNG files cannot be opened directly in Photoshop. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in is provided. Camera Raw enables you to make adjustments to the raw image data before the image is converted to an RGB image and sent to Photoshop. You say you don't use Camera Raw. But if you are working with raw files or DNG files, and using Photoshop, then using the Camera Raw plug-in is essential.
If you have Lightroom 5.3 or later installed then you should still be able to send your files from Lightroom to Photoshop if you choose the option to render a copy that includes the Lightroom settings. In fact, that is the option you will need to use all the time unless you decide to upgrade your Photoshop. Although you say you don't use Camera Raw, it is an integral part of the image processing when raw files are involved. Photoshop CS5 cannot use a version of Camera Raw that is new enough to accommodate your camera. That is why you will have to use the "render a copy" option. And then in that case, you are right in saying that you don't use Camera Raw. But as I mentioned, you need to have Lightroom 5.3 or newer installed. Go to the Lightroom help menu and check for updates. If you use Lightroom and render a copy, then you won't need to use the DNG converter.

DNG converter won't open CR2 files for conversion: no items match your search [was: Please help!!!!]

Thank you x

Ok so it's a canon 1200d, it's the 8.7 version. And in using Lightroom 4, it's strange because the first time I plugged it in it worked and I managed to edit all my picture and now I've taken more pictures it doesn't seen to work.

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.

How do I open RAW images from T1-XMG CR2? Adobe DNG converter will not recognize these files. HELP?

How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images. I have had no problem with converting other images. and ACR will not recognize them either. Help!@

The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2. It is not clear where this name came from. I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed.
What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to. You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to?

HELP. DNG CONVERTER 8.3 or 8.3 WON'T WORK ON WINDOWS 7

I have tried downloadind both versions and niether one will work. I can download the file but when it comes to installing it says it has installed. So click on it to open it and it does the same thing again.I've tried the suggestions that I found in an earlier post but hasn't solved it.
Would be very grateful for any help,
I am about to pull my hair out
Thanks

If you go to the download folder all you are doing is running the install package. If you are on a Mac you need to go to your APP"s folder and if the DNG icon is ther then it has been installed. Double click the icon and the program should open.
Next step, the DNG converter is a stand alone application and the only function that it can perform is to convert raw files to a dng format. The DNG converter cannot open files or do any edits etc. When the program is open you have to select a folder that contains the raw files you wish to convert (the folder not the files,) Then when you select the convert option a dialog box with options will popup and you can make your selections and proceed.
A word of caution if you are not sure about what you are doing do some more research before proceeding. One thing for sure do not select the option to delete your original raw files. The process is not reversable, when you have gained some experience and are certain you do not wish to keep your original files you can decide then to delete. Not something I would wish to do, just my choice.

Using adobe DNG convert help me please!!!!!

I have Adobe CS5 and have just bought a panasonic FZ200. Rawimages cant be opened from this camera in CS5 so I have downloaded the DNG converter. All is well on my laptop but on the PC which is where I would really like to edit my images I keep getting an error message 'the source folder doesnot contain any supported camera raw files'. They are the same files! I have copied them on to both machines so why does the converter not see them? My laptop runs windows 7 and the PC runs Vista - is this significant? I am really fed up with this , have been trying to get these images edited all day!!!!

I think the problem you are having is that, when browsing using the DNG converter, you are opening the folder that contains your raw images. Notice that the prompt asks for the FOLDER that contains your raw images. Choose that folder, but don't open it. Then the DNG converter should convert the images that are in that folder. If you only want to convert one or two images, drag/drop them onto the icon that you use to start the DNG converter.

DNG Converter suddenly stopped working, won't read NEF files

Hi all, I'm new here, but am looking for some help.
I currently am on a mac book and run photoshop CS3. I've been shooting with a nikon d700 in raw. When I upload the photos to my computer I've previously run them through the DNG converter without a problem. Now, for the past two days it has just stopped working. When I try to convert the NEF files, they are just greyed out, I can't select anything. I tried reinstalling the DNG converter, but still no luck.
I never had any issues with it before, and now it suddenly won't read my files. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you!

Had you run the DNG on a Mac before? On the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders only, not on individual files (unless you use the Finder to drop the icons of your raw files on the DNG Converter application icon). From within the application, using File > Open, the icon and names of individual raw files will always appear grayed out.
You need to target the folder that contains the files you want to convert.
CAVEAT: all eligible files in the folder will be converted, including any and all DNG files that may already be contained in the folder. So if you have any DNGs in that folder, they will also be converted again and the original DNGs may be overwritten.

DNG converter converts RAW Adobe RGB color profile to ProPhoto ??

I have a Canon 5D2. there is an internal switch to shoot RAW files using the Adobe RGB profile. when I open a RAW image in CS4, there is no problem. yet when I open the DNG converted image in CS4, CS4 tells me the image has the ProPhoto color profile. I can convert back to Adobe RGB, but it adds an extra step and (I think probably) loses information. I looked for a switch in the DNG converter to speciy the color profile of the converted image, but could not find it. Any suggestions ?

Hi, Tom.
The real issue here is getting accurate color. You can't get accurate color by setting your monitor profile to sRGB. sRGB is a virtual color space that doesn't describe the exact color gamut of any physical device. But, in order to display sRGB or any color space accurately, you need to get a characterization of your monitor.
Here is an AWESOME way to get access to a colorimeter: http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/pantone-huey-colorimeter Looks like for $32 you can rent this for a week. Go in on this with a friend and profile both of your monitors and hardly pay a thing. If you have a reasonably good quality LCD monitor, this custom profile you make will be fairly accurate for many months. At the very least, this is way more accurate than having no regular calibration at all.
Hope this helps!
Bret
