DNG converter error NEF- DNG

I'm using the latest version of adobe DNG converter (6.6.0.261) to try and convert my .NEF files to .DNG so that I can use my Macbeth Color Checker on them. I keep getting an "error parsing the file" message. I had used an older version of DNG converter (6.5.0.218) previously and it converted no problem. NEF is a supported file type and I believe that the files are not corrupted. How can I solve this problem?

Hey.  Just uploaded the update to 6.6, which is 6.7.  I can open files now.

  • Why wont Bridge, LR or DNG Converter Open NEFs?

    I have the latest versions of Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, and the DNG converter software running on Mac OS 10.8.3. All of the Mac software is up to date.
    None of those programs will import the NEF files from my Nikon D600 and convert them to DNG.
    I can use none of the software I've paid for. : (

    First, I have never made any changes to this area in Preferences.  When I saw the suggestion to check file associations in Bridge Pref., I looked  through the file asssociations and mostly I found listed  'none beside most types,' but beside Psd, Tiff, and Jpegs it said, "Explorer Settings."  Why in the heck would that be there?  I clicked on that and noticed I could direct a search through my computer for something else, so I when straight for Adobe and on to Photoshop Cs5, and clicked OK.  After that, I could open the psd's  in Photoshop and under File>Open With, PScs5 was listed now as the defautl... YEA!... But when I tried the same with jpegs, it didn't work.  I put in PHcs5, but they are opening in Camera Raw.  Now while I could want that option, I don't want that as a default.  I'm totally perplexed as to how this could be happening. I've been using Bridge since it was first introduced into PS, and I've never had a problem like this.   I hope someone who is more educated in this area will please shed some light on this for me. 
    I'm in an advanced Digital Imaging class, and I asked my all knowing teacher and she was confused as well.
    Thanks.  7SUS

  • DNG converter error message

    Using LR 2.7. Can't import raw files from my brother's memory card (Nikon D7100 I believe). Have downloaded DNG converter, and am fairly sure I have done everything correctly except I get this message: "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files" when trying to convert. I have tried every level of compatibility under preferences. Any idea what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to view my pictures? I should have insisted he shot in jpeg. :-(

    You should single-click the name of the folder with the raw files not double-click into that folder.
    Also you should probably copy the files from the memory card to the local hard-drive using Windows Explorer or Finder before running the DNG Converter on the files.
    I think you’ll need to use the oldest compatibility option:  ACR 2.4 although you could try 4.1 and see if things work with that.

  • Does DNG Converter support CFA DNG for X-Trans files?

    Does Adobe DNG Converter support the X-Trans sensor layout from ie. the X100S? Can converting an X-Trans sensor RAF file to to DNG result in a file that is _not_ in any way demosaiced and/or linearized?
    If DNG Converter truly does support conversion of X-Trans to CFA DNG files, how can the resulting files be so much smaller (when not linearizing or ticking lossy compression of the DNGs)? The RAF files are all around 32 MB, while the DNGs are around ~23 MB. Is it only a matter lossless compression, or is the mosaiced data in some way altered?
    If DNG Converter does support CFA DNG for X-Trans, at what DNG Converter version did you first implement support for the X-Trans sensor layout and conversion of X-Trans data to CFA DNG files?
    These are important questions that I'm having a hard time finding answers for. I'd appreciate answer to any (but preferably all) of the questions.

  • DNG not recognizing NEF files

    .I have Photoshop CS5 and I recently downloaded Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 to convert my NEF files so that I can open them in Camera RAW which was working for about a week, now it is not recognizing them. Any suggestions as to why?

    I don't think you want to use the DNG converter on existing DNG files.  You would want to use it on your original NEF files taken by your camera.
    In the DNG converter, notice that the prompt is asking for the FOLDER that contains the raw files.  Choose the folder, but don't double click on the folder.  Don't expect to see your raw files listed.  Just choose the FOLDER, and don't try to go any deeper.  If you want to convert individual NEF files, drag/drop them onto the DNG converter icon.  The program will open and will convert that one file.
    Once you have chosen the folder containing your raw files, click on the convert button, and you will see each file listed as it is being converted.

  • DNG Converter/ Camera Raw for CS3 (D3000)

    1. I have a Nikon D3000
    2. I have CS3
    3. I took 3 graduation pictures and  set of engagement pics in RAW
    4. I am trying to convert them so I can open them up in CS3 because naturally Raw files cannot open up in CS3.   I downloaded MULTIPLE DNG convertors. From recent to not so recent. On all of them I am able to see the menu....but right when i click select files ALL of my .nef pics are grey and unclickable.
    PLEASE HELP ME. I am miserable using other peoples computer.
    SIDENOTE: I tried to also put camera raw on CS3 . I put the correct version for my camera and it still didn't work. My main goal is to use Camera Raw for editing.
    once again...please help

    To add to what Noel has said...
    The DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run off Start -> All Programs -> Adobe -> DNG Converter.
    The DNG Converter operates on entire folders at once so there are no thumbnails involved.
    Once you have converted all the NEFs to DNGs in a particular folder using the DNG Converter, you could still have problem seeing the NEFs if your camera RAW is too new, as it sounds like you might have done.
    To fix this, please re-install (manually copy?) the Camera RAW plug-in back to the highest version number that is compatible with CS3, which would be 4.6: 
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Check to see what version of Camera RAW you have by going into Photoshop and choosing Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera RAW (and make sure there is only one instances of Camera RAW listed).
    Unless you update to CS4 or CS5 that can work with the NEFs, directly, when viewing the folder in Bridge, you will always see gray NEF icons for the original RAW files, but you should see thumbnails for the DNGs you've converted.
    If might be good that when you convert NEFs to DNGs that you put the DNGs into a subfolder of the NEFs, so you don't have half your thumbnails being gray NEFs.

  • DNG Converter 5.4 will not convert Canon 500d .cs2 raw files

    Hello
    I downloaded the DNG Converter 5.4 to try and convert the raw files from my new Canon 500d.
    I got an error message stating "the file could not be created."
    Has anyone with the same camera got the dng 5.4 converter to work with the 500d yet???
    I am running osx 10.5.6 (latest version)
    I know I should have checked before spending over £1000 pounds on a new setup that the camera will work in lightroom. I am very upset with myself.
    If anyone can help let me know.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'm running Windows XP - downloaded and installed both DNG Converter and ACR 5.4.  Found a 500d raw file on the Internet and downloaded, opened ok in the DNG converter, produced a .dng file that then opened successfully in ACR.  And the raw file also opened in ACR.
    I would first check the installation process, perhaps someone on the forum with both 10.5 and a 500d can testify.  Or if they have just 10.5 do the same as I did and download a test file.

  • Difference between Adobe DNG Converter & Lightroom DNG Converter?

    I've converted NEFs to DNGS using both Adobe DNG Converter and Lightroom DNG Converter.
    I found that the converted DNGS from Lightroom have a different icon in the finder that those convereted from Adobe DNG Converter. The icon in the finder from Lightroom looks like a file icon, and that from tthe Adobe DNG Converter looks more like a JPEG icon.
    Otherwise they seem to be identical.
    Thanks for any input.

    It's not at all unusual for DNGs to be smaller file sizes if you did the DNG conversion using lossless compression, did you? Fuji raw files are known for being oversized due to the way they write their image data. Also, totally ignore any findings you may regarding JPEGs, those are lossy compressed and don't figure into the equation...

  • DNG Converter Not Recognizing .CR2 Files

    I have a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and CS3, so I cannot view the CR2 files from the 5D in Bridge in their native format.  I read all the posts and upgraded to ACR 4.6, then upgraded the camera profiles to those in the ACR 5.2 package (the one that includes the 5D Mark II).
    I then read that I need the DNG Converter to generate DNG files from the CR2 files, so I have installed DNG 6.3.
    Problem now is that the DNG Converter will not recognize any CR2 files on my machine, neither the new 5D Mark II CR2 files of my old Rebel CR2 files.  When I navigate to a folder containing CR2 files with DNG it says "No images have been selected" in the "Select images to convert" section of the GUI.
    I have no idea what to do, I need to get the DNG Converter working to view the files from my new camera in Bridge.  Help!

    I wish I could say your solution worked - but it didn't! I have a Canon T2i, the very latest version of the  Adobe "converter" (8.4) - and it refuses to recognize/find any Canon RAW (i.e. CR2) files. My desktop is 2 years old with lot of horsepower, Win 7, plain vanilla etc.
    Step 1: Folder Selected ("Bonaire 2006")
    folder selected.jpg
    2. When I press "Convert", I get:
    No CR2 files recognized.jpg
    Another view of the problem:
    after getting this: (BTW "Bonaire" is stuffed with CR2 files). Same problem all folders
    no items match your search - say what.jpg
    I've used a thousand utility programs for any number of purposes - something is amiss here - prompts or not!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 「Adobe DNG Converter 5.3」の不具合

    Adobe DNG Converterを公開当初から使っています。
    最近、5.3にアップして使っていた所、変換したDNGファイルがおかしい事に気ずきました。
    具体的には、変換後のRAWとオリジナルのRAWの色合いが違っていたのです。
    5.2に戻すと正常になった為、5.3の不具合と分かりました。
    皆さんの環境はどうでしょうか？
    因に私はMacOSX環境です。
    Win環境の方もどうですか？
    情報お待ちしています。

    Remember that the DNG Converter works on FOLDERS, not on individual files.  If you are in the File > Open dialog box, make sure you're targeting the folder, not individual files.
    Otherwise, use the Finder to drop file icons on the DNG Converter's icon.

  • Why won't DNG 8.1 convert D5200 NEF?

    I have CS5 and have read the forums to download DNG converter 8.1 with support for D5200 to convert NEF to DNG to be able to work in Photoshop CS5. I followed it and am very frustrated because the Converter will refuse to recognize NEF. I get the error message "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
    I am running Mac OSX 10.8.4
    Updated Nikon software (Nikon Transfer and View NX2)
    I am extremely frustrated!!!!

    OK, you were right... I was wrong... you are good looking... I am not so attractive.
    The problem I was having was that I created a new folder within a folder. I just needed to go to Nikon Transfer (folder) and pick the dated folder that I wanted.
    Thank you for helping me out. It is nice since DNG offers NO troubleshooting (so convenient)!!

  • I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folde

    I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • DNG Converter suddenly stopped converting "There was an error writing this file"

    I shoot on a Nikon D7000.  Have a Macbook and CS4.  Have been using DNG converter for at least a year and today, suddenly...5 files into converting a folder from NEF to DNG, it stopped working.  I have restared the program.  Restarted the computer.  Reinstalled the program.  Ran updates on all Adobe software and still no luck.  I can't get it to convert a sinlge file from the folder I was working in or any other NEF file on my computer.
    Very weird.  It worked fine.  I had never had a problem with it until today.
    Any clue what's happening?  HELP!!

    I had the same problem. My 2 cent:
    (1) Reboot your computer [I work in I.T., this usually fixes all the problems users are experiencing]
    (2) Make sure you have space in your destination/source directory where the images are going to be added.
    This is what happened to me: I selected my memory card where all the (RAW) images are located. My "save to" location happened to also be my memory card. Basically, I had no more space on my memory card, but I was asking Adobe DNC to convert and save/add those images into the same location, my memory card. Which gave me the exact error message you are reporting.
    Fix: I just created a new destiatoin/location on my computer's hard drive where Adobe DNC can save those converted images. Works for me; I hope it works for you.
