DNG Converter disappeared - how reinstall?

My DNG converter shortcut no longer links to the DNG converter (.exe) file. Seems the file "disappeared", possibly as a result of upgrading some Adobe software, where old files get deleted? That likely doesn't "make sense", but the bottom line is, the file is gone. I have never yet used DNG converter, but I want it available. How do I reinstall it without overwriting other already-installed-with-my-preferences-set-and-I-don't-want-to-undo-them Adobe software? I have PS CS3 and LR 2.3.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Eric - thanks very much for the quick reply. I swear I've seen this page before (your link). I'll give it a try.

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

    How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

  • I have been using DNG converter from the beginning.  But suddenly the bottom part of the interface has disappeared where the Convert button is.  What's happened

    Very strange.  Why would it disappear after all this time

    Very good question.  In fact I have just replaced my monitor with a higher resolution screen.  However it is all irrelevant now as I have cured it.  I uninstalled the old versions of the Converter and installed the latest version 9.  All works ok.  The hardest part was finding where the DNG Converter had squirreled away on my computer.  Eventually found it but I couldn't get access to it through the Control Panel.
    Many thanks for your reply

    PS CC 2014 DNG and RAW 8.5 did not update with the rest of the CC package. I downloaded/installed the DNG/RAW converter but how do you install w/i CC 2014 plugins

    Thanks John. I have tried solutions 1 to 3 from (-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.h tml) and they do not work. So I presume that all I can do is to remove all 25 CC applications and start again!
    Incidently, ( http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ ) does not list Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 as an update even though Adobe have announced that it is available (http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/04/camera-raw-8-4-and-dng-converter-8-4-now-a vailable.html). The same applies for Adobe Premiere Pro 7.2.2 (http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2014/04/premiere-pro-cc-7-2-2.html). If they are not available this would explain why I cannot download them but I am very suprised that Adobe didn't mention this when I contacted them.
    Anyway thanks again

  • 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?

  • How to uninstall adobe dng converter 8.3??

    hello,
    i installed adobe dng converter on my windows 7 system. i am very thankfull for any advice how to uninstall it.
    the program isn't listed like other programs in the control panel - programs area, so there's no option to uninstall it the usual way.
    greetings sebastian

    Why do you think it is necessary to get rid of them? They are automatically installed with Lightroom updates and Camera Raw updates anyway. There really isn't any need to get rid of them. You might someday be in a situation where you could need one of those profiles. If you are using Lightroom or Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you probably already had most of those profiles installed. The installation of the DNG converter would only have added a few new profiles that were added in the latest version.

    Small correction to what SSprengel wrote...
    The RX100M3 is supported only by version 8.5.  It sounds like you need a newer version.

    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?

    After updating iBooks on my iPad all my PDFs disappeared how do I get them back? I reinstalled the app again and they showed up and thn they disappeared, what is going on?

    By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

  • How do I prevent Adobe DNG Converter 7.4 from cutting image pixel count?

    I converted 5D Mark III Raw files to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 7.4. When I import the DNGs into LR I noticed that the total pixel count has been significantly reduced. The original Raw images are 22 megapixels (5760 x 3840), the DNG files are 10.5 megapixels (3960 x 2460). I tried it without lossy compression, and with Lossy compression (making sure preserve pixel count was selected). Either way the image's pixel count is reduced. How do I avoid loosing half the image? Am I missing something?

    Simplistically,
    The image is captured with the full sensor data and then is downsampled during in-camera processing to create a smaller version that retains the Raw bit-depth. That resultant file is saved on the camera's memory card. So while all the MP of the camera were used, the output file is smaller in MP.
    There are probably much better technical explanations for how that happens. http://dougkerr.net/Pumpkin/articles/sRaw.pdf Pages 6 and 7,
    Mind you, I suspect this is what happened. You need to verify with your second shooter. The pixel dimensions match exactly with mRaw.

  • How to uninstall Adobe DNG Converter

    Please forgive me if this has already been asked; I tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer.
    I am on Windows XP SP3 and have installed DNG Converter 5.6.0.148. The installer ran ok but I don't see an uninstall link the Add/Remove Programs.
    Is there some official way of uninstalling it?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately the response from Mr. Hess is incorrect and uninformed.  The DNG Converter installer does install much more than the single executable in the Adobe program folder which Mr. Hess refers to.  If he were to use that single executable on a machine where the DNG Converter was not installed he would quickly find out that it would not work.  It relies on the camera and lens profiles that are installed (on a Windows OS anyway) in Application Data > Adobe > CameraRaw.  That Adobe has created an installer (which installs so many files) without an uninstaller is rather irresponsible (to say the least).  Instructions to manually delete the files and folders installed may vary, given folder naming conventions in various versions of Windows, but on Windows XP deleting Adobe DNG Converter.exe and the CameraRaw folder (as mentioned earlier) would delete all the files that are apparently installed.
    The question was how do you uninstall the DNG converter.  The DNG converter (itself) is a single executable file for which no uninstall program is required to remove.  Even though someone may wish to remove the DNG converter, the profiles that you speak of would probably still want to be retained because they are utilized by Camera Raw and Lightroom if it is installed.  So I did not misspeak.  If someone wants to remove the DNG converter, all they have to do is delete it.

  • How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

    I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file.  Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings.  One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
    This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6.  But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
    Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

    ssprengel wrote:
    What do you mean by “custom camera settings”?  Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset?  Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
    Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
    I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
    My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter.  I then open the folder in Bridge.  At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon.  When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults.  When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
    This behavior is new.  DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
    In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings.  That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
    I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences.  It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.

  • How to make windows 8.1 compatible with dng converter 8.1?

    I have installed the DNG Converter 8.1 so that I can view/edit RAW files on Photoshop Elements 12, but Windows 8.1 states "the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files".  I have an Sony Alpha 6000 (version 8.4), and have moved the RAW files into a folder on my C drive.  DNG Converter won't work even if I run it on Windows 8, is there no way to make Windows 8.1 compatible with DNG Converter 8.1? 

    From that faq:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    I see that you need the DNG converter 8.4 to convert Sony Alpha 6000 raw files.
    Download that version of the DNG converter to replace your version 8.1.
