DNG Converter install problem

Hi all-
I didnt know what forum to post this in but since I run elements, I figured I'd post it here.
I have a new camera and was looking to get DNG converter to bridge the gap until I get Lightroom-3
Current set up:
iMac 24
os 10.4.1.1
Photoshop Elements 6
Camera Raw 5.6
ACR 5.6 does not handle my Sony a580 .arw files. PSE-6 cant upgrade to higher than 5.6 ACR.
I tried to get Adobe DNG converter so I can convert my 580's .ARW files but when I donwload and install version 6.5, all seems to go well except program does not open. The icon in applications folder bounces, starts to show on the dock then dissappears, no program open. I started going back versions to see if I could get any to run and the newest I could get to was 5.5. 5.5 opens and seems to work, I havent tried with my older file. But, it dosent support the a580. So I tried to run the upgrade to 6.3 (supports the 580) but installer says there is "nothing to install" on clicking install. Tried to upgrade to 6.5 and back to not opening.
Am I doing something wrong? DNG converter 6.5 says it is OK on os 10.4, I cant figure it out.

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.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

Trouble installing DNG Converter 7.2

Hi guys,
Can get all the way through the install process for DNG converter 7.2, but when I try to launch it I just get this error message every time (and it reoccurs every time I click Relaunch or ignore). I'm on a MB Pro running 10.5.8.
EDIT: Was running a previous version with no problems, and 7.1 works as well. Problem only lies with the new 7.2 update.

Mayanbee,
Adobe has acknowledged that no version of the DNG Converter above 6.4 runs on Tiger 10.4.x. That is now official, even though not all Adobe pages reflect it. Initially, Adobe had only stated that no version above 6.4 would run on Power Macs, but later it was acknowledged that it won't run on Tiger regardless of CPU.

Correct, starting with DNG Converter 6.5, Mac OS 10.4 is no longer supported. (The Adobe.com documentation needs to be updated.)
Most likely this is or will be the fate of the DNG Converter 7.x in reference to Leopard too.

Problem w/ DNG Converter 6.6

I recently downloaded Adobe DNG Converter 6.6 (for Mac OS X10.7) in order to convert Canon's proprietary CR2 images from my Canon 60D camera so that I can use Adobe Bridge (CS4) & ACR (v5.7). When I attempted to convert a folder containing 43 CR2 images, the DNG Converter would "hang up" after about 10 images were converted. This required a "force quit". Same problem occurred when I attempted to convert CR2 images from another folder containing 5 images.
Thank you kindly for any help or suggestions. I truly appreciate it.

I just downloaded and installed this version on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bits.
I can report it works great with my Raw DNG files, from camera: Pentax K-m/ K2000.
Probably also with all other Pentax camera's.

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

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:

Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

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.

Problems opening DNG converted file in Photoshop CS3

I have used Adobe DNG Converter 5.4 to convert my Panasonic DMC-FX150 raw images. The conversion goes well, but the resulting file throws an error when opening in PSCS3: Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
The only thing I can think of is that the images were taken in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Lightroom will render the image to a tiff, which I can then open in PS, but this is a PITA.
Is the 16:9 ratio unsupported in CS3? appoligies for not pre-searching the forum other than looking for "16:9"

well, problem is back. DNG radomly failing to process all images. I took 6 pictures all at the same settings, and out of the 6, only two converted successfully. No errors in DNG, but in Finder, for the files that don't open in PSCS3 don't have thumbnail icons.

Installing DNG converter in CS4 and Lightroom 2.o

I am using Photoshop CS4 And Lightroom 2 on a windows 63bit platform. I have upgraded my camera to a Nikon 5200 and need to upgrade the camera raw file. I have downloaded camera raw 7.3 and it went through an install process for Light rpoom. However, Lightroom and photoshop still does not open the raw files from the new camera. What am I missing?

CS4 and LR 2.x are not compatible with ACR 7.3. You will need to Upgrade to CS6 or LR 4 or both to use your camera's raw files.
Or, you can download Adobe's Free DNG Converter and convert your NEF's to DNG files that are backwards compatible with all versions of Lightroom and PS back to CS2 (if memory serves).

Problem With DNG Converter

I just installed the DNG converter and can't get it to work.
When I first installed it, it let me go to the correct folder one time, but after that one time, when I click the Select Folder button I get this error message:
"There is no disk in the drive. Insert a disk into drive
/Device/HardDrive5/DR15"
It makes no sense to me.
I'm running Win 7 64bit

I get a message like this, sometimes, not with the DNG Converter, but just in general, if I leave my card-reader plugged into my computer after I have removed my card, so the computer sortof sees it but not entirely.
From your description I would guess that the DNG Converter is remembering the location of your previous conversion and that was on a removable drive or other device, that needs to be plugged in, again. What was the path for your successful conversion, initially?
Can you do another conversion from another location or does the error prevent selecting a new location?

How do I install profiles 6.6 DNG converter ?

I downloaded the 6.6 DNG converter and when I try to open it I get the following message."Error writing temporary file make sure your temporary files is valid. How do I check temp files and install DNG converter profiles?

See if right clicking on the DNGConverter_6_6.exe and choosing Run as Administrator makes any difference.
(i just tried installing on windows 7 and didn't get that message)

New adobe DNG converter and CS4 quality problems - EOS 7D

Hi,
A friend of mine uses Adobe Photoshop CS2.
He plans to buy Canon EOS 7D or EOS 5D Mark II in the future but first we did some tests and conversions.
We found many problems and quality issues.
First Problem is that CS2 doesn't support Canon EOS 7D directly so user has to use DNG Converter to convert the EOS 7D file from .cr2 to a .dng.
When i use and test this, CS2 recognizes and opens .dng file correctly then i optimize sharpness, color etc etc in the photoshop and save the file from the file menu (Save AS) as .jpg file.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 fails to save exif data.
It just saves the camera model nothing else.
On the other hand if i use CS4 it saves all exif data (without dng):
The next problem is quality.
If i use indentical settings in RAW converted between CS2 (dng) and CS4 (cr2) CS2 images look sharper and have more "per pixel sharpness" than CS4 raw images.
Here's a sample (raw file taken from dpreview.com) that i tested it using both raw converters:
So these are two problems that i don't like nor does my friend and i am asking you if you would fix that and why such hudge difference ?
As the CS4 is being the newest the best of all photoshop it should had better picture but in this case the older version has better picture and i don't see any logic in that.
So if user wants to go for better quality he/she will pick CS2 but have a disadvantage - Exif is not saved in the .jpg file.
I also think that if dpreview would have used CS2 instead of CS4 they would get much higher "per pixel sharpness" from Canon EOS 7D as they did now.
Thanks.

You can't use the exact same settings since the settings in ACR 3.x (Photoshop CS2) don't match up to ACR 5.x (Photoshop CS4).
Seriously, there was a major change in ACR 4 and then 5 that make comparing ACR 3.x and 5.x pretty pointless...
Fact is if you aren't getting optimal results from Camera Raw 5.x then you don't know how to use it...simple as that.
ACR 3.x had a very crude image sharpening process compared to either ACR 4.1 and above of any 5.x version.
Seriously, Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.x is way old tech...if you can't get better IQ from 5.x you are doing something wrong.

Install RAW DNG Converter 7-2 from my desktop to Bridge and Photoshop?

I have a Sony A99 DSLR which is now supported by Adobe. I downloaded the DNG (RAW) Converter 7_2 to my desktop. How do I install it in Bridge and Photoshop?

DNG converter is a standalone tool. For Photoshop/ Bridge you need the corresponding version of Camera Raw (ACR). Refer to this:

Photoshopcs6 mac 0sx10.9 unable to open NEF files, already installed camera raw DNG converter 8.6

just installed photoshopcs6 running mac 0xs10.9 , installed DNG converter camera converter8.6 and still unable to open NEF files

Which nikon camera are the nef files from?
If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to the camera raw 8.6 plugin?
(then you shouldn't have to use the dng converter, unless your nikon is a very new model)
