Dng converter into a PS action

Hello
Is it possible, on a Win platform, to make the converter part of a PS action.
Grateful for any tip.

The only way to call the converter exe file from a PS action is to have a script
in the middle. The PS action calls the script which calls the converter. Not
pretty but it can be done.

Is there a way to integrate Adobe DNG Converter into Lightroom 5.7?

I recently purchased an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II. Unfortunately, the new Olympus ORF raw file is not recognized in Lightroom 5.7. I am currently running a separate operation on all of my new raw files - running them through Adobe DNG Converter. This takes time as a separate operation, and I'd like to make the conversion automatic within lightroom. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Buy Downloader Pro.
Downloader Pro - Download, Organize, Rename Images Photos Canon, Fuji, Minolta, Olympus and Pentax Digital Cameras
I have been using this with LR for a long time now.You can incorporate the Adobe DNG converter into the download process. I initially bought Downloader Pro because it has an extremely flexible file renaming facility, but besides renaming files it can integrate GPS information into images from my handheld GPS receiver, hand off the files to the Adobe DNG converter and then place the resulting DNG files into LR's Auto Import folder, making the entire process automatic.

Adobe 7.X DNG converter won't display "action buttons" at botton

Hello,
I have a new camera and upgraded to Adobe Digital negative converter ver. 7.3 to support it. Oddest thing. It cuts off the bottom. The "action buttons" [about DNG converter] [extract] [convert] or [exit] buttons at the bottom soI cant execute the program. (see below) I've also tried Ver 7.2. Same issue. Ver 6.2 works fine.
Has anyone had this issue. Any known fix?
I'm on Win7 w/ 1080p displays. I've tried different display settings.
Please help if you can.
Thanks and regards,
Guy

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?

Can I convert a series of adjustment layers into a single action?

Hello,
I have a Photoshop CS6 document with 20-some adjustment layers and would like to be able to apply their effect to multiple image files. I'm looking for a way to convert the series of adjustment layers into a single action so that I can batch process a set of images. Can this be done?
Unless I'm missing something, it appears that no trivial solution exisits. For example, there's no option that allows for selecting the adjustment layers, right clicking them, and choosing 'convert to action.' What I want to avoid is having to redo each adjustment layer just for the sake of recording an action.
Also, I understand that I can always "place" (i.e. drag and drop) the image requiring processing into the Photoshop document containing the adjustment layers, saving a merged copy as jpeg, and repeat... but such a manual method would border on insulting to this prowess of a program.
If anyone can get creative and suggest a method of recording an action that can make use of the document with the adjustment layers and a variable document that will be passed through during the batch process, I'm all eyes!
Many thanks.

You have the other choice with drag/drop or duplicate where you copy the adjustment layers into the other image document. Target all the adjustment layers in the layer palette click on the first one the Ctrl|CMD+click on the others or if adjacent Shift+click on the last one to target all the adjustment layer then use menu Layer>Duplicate Layers... and use the pull down menu in the pop-up dialog to choose the other open image document.
You can of course record an action when you add all the adjustment layers then play that action on the other images. Twenty adjustment layer on top of an image seems a bit extreme to me.

Adobe DNG Converter failure

I have used Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 for a few weeks (on Windows 7 Ultimate 64) without incident to batch convert my Canon RAW files to DNG. However, now when I try to open the program it does not work.
The problem seems to be that the GUI interface does not allow any of the boxes to be clicked or filled; the 'ert to DNG even th' text in the first box of Item 2 is a trace from a website on a previous application. See below for what happens when I run the application.
I do not believe I have installed any new / disagreeable software; I have tried unistalling and reinstalling to no luck. Any input is much appreciated.

I have a similar problem, yet different, with the latest DNG Converter (rel. 8_7). The design interface is flawed. It chops off the bottom of the box where all the action buttons are. I was previously using rel. 8_3 and it worked fine. Just got a Canon 7D Mk II so need the Oct. '14 release of DNG Converter (e.g., 8_7). It's a serious problem. Who at Adobe can fix this? Also, the program doesn't install into the Win 7 Control Panel, so there's no way to find it to run an uninstall. Tried contacting Sharad Mangalick re: this issue over a week ago - got no response - asked him to forward info to PM who's responsible for this product. Sent him description of issue and screen grab ....

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?

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.

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.

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.

Adobe DNG Converter can't recognize any files

Hi All!
I'm new here and would very much appreciate help.
I am running a Mac OS X 10.04.11 and would like to open .CR2 files (native file from my Canon 500D) in PS4      / Bridge CS4. My problem is that although I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 5.1 update as described here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4057, the DNG Converter can't recognise any files at all (they are greyed-out when I go to select any folder). I also followed these steps from the aforementioned link (well at least I hope I did it right, I found the reference to step 4 slightly confusing):
To install with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4:
Automated installation on Mac or Windows®:
1. Select "Updates..." from the Help menu
2. Follow the on-screen dialogs to download and install the latest available Camera Raw update
Manual installation on Mac:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the Finder.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
Is that version the right one for CS4?
Only Finder and the Canon Software can preview my .CR2 files, Photoshop still gives the message: "Could   not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file." and   Bridge only shows me a generic RAW thumbnail. This message also appears in PS when I double-click on the Camera-RAW.plugin. I also restarted my computer, but that didn't fix it.
Can anyone help me out please? I'd urgently need a solution.
Thanks in advance!

I now uninstalled the older 5.1 version and instead installed the DNG Converter 6.3 separately and it works perfectly.
About the Camera Raw 5.6 update: I also downloaded the plug-in (which I think should be the last version CS4 supports) and can now open my .CR2 files in PS, Bridge previews them too. :-)
Is it advisable to keep both, .CR2 as well as .DNG files? Why is it that my .DNG files are lighter than the native .CR2?
Thanks again!

Can't find any raw files to convert when I am using Adobe DNG converter

Recently I purchased a new Olympus XZ-1 camera. I shoot exclusively RAW pictures (raw files for this camera are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop Element 8 it was imposible, nor then I could see those pictures in the organizer. By surfing on diffrent forums, I was able to figure out that Camera Raw included in Element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not supporting the .orf raw from Olympus and if I didn’t want to upgrade my Element 8 to Element 9 or 10, a simple alternative was to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my .orf files into dng files, which could then imported by Element 8 and opened in Camera raw 5.5.
I downloaded DNG converter version 6.6 and installed it in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that once inside DNG converter, when selecting the folder where all my .orf files are (Select folder), I can't see any raw files to convert there! I tried to select a folder with NEF files instead (raw files from Nikon) and it is the same problem! Why can’t I see those files of mine I want to convert when I select the folder in DNG converter?
I'm dying for help!
Thanks a lot!

When you are selecting the folder in the DNG converter, you only click on the folder. You DON'T double click on the folder. After you have set your options, and chosen the folder, you click on the Convert button. It is only after you have clicked on Convert that you will see the list of files that are being converted. You will also be able to see an indicator of the progress of the conversion. It really does work. Just to verify, the procedure I outlined is one that I did just prior to trying to write the instructions. It really isn't rocket science. Just choose the folder, only the folder, and click on the Convert button.
You'll notice that the button prompts you to select the folder, it doesn't say anything about selecting a file. You only select the folder that contains the files. You will never see a list of files using this method. If you only want to convert one or two images you can use the other method. Leave the DNG converter closed, open the folder containing the DNG files in your operating system folder browsing utility, choose the file you want to convert, and drag it onto the icon for the DNG converter. That is how you choose individual images.

Security Warning when running DNG converter

Hi,
I just did a clean install of Vista Ultimate on my laptop and then installed the DNG converter (version 4.4.1).
I copied the executable into Program Files/Adobe/Adobe DNG Converter but every time I run it I get a dialogue box:
Open File - Security Warning
which asks me to confirm I want to run the file. Even if I uncheck the "Always ask before opening this file" checkbox the behaviour happens.
Anyone else seen this and know how to fix it?
Thanks
Patrick.

This is the standard Micro$oft warning for any none Micro$oft product installed from a web download. It is part of their marketing strategy to discourage the use of non-Micro$oft products. It also occurs with Windoze XP.

After using DNG converter, Lightroom still won't recognize and import my photos...

I just started shooting with a Sony A6000 and couldn't import the photos due to compatibility issues with my current version of lightroom (4.4). After reading about it on the forums I found that I had to either download LR5 or use the DNG converter then import into LR. I opted for the free problem fix and downloaded DNG Converter v8.4 (compatible with Sony A6000). Now, after converting my freshly shot photos to DNGs, I've tried to import them into Lightroom through both the Copy and Move functions (because I like the file organization I've established through LR) but each time I end up with a dialogue box saying "Could not move a file to the requested location." When in the import window, LR shows previews of the images clearly. When converting to DNGs, I've ensured the photos are compatible with Camera RAW v7.1 and later (my LR has v7.4) and I've tried both embedding Fast Load Data and not... Also, I'm using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 if that makes any difference. Am I missing something? I don't see what the problem is... All I want to do is organize and edit my new photos from my new camera on LR without having to pay an additional $80 for the new LR just because I have a new camera...

This could be a permissions issue, especially if you are using a Mac computer. Make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import into.

Using Sigma DP1 Raw X3F files via Adobe DNG Converter to Aperture 2.1.2

I wish to use Aperture 2.1.2 with my Sigma DP1 raw ( X3F format) photos.
I used the latest Adobe DNG converter 5.1.0.30 to successfully convert Sigma DP1 X3F to DNG format files. After importing the DNG files into an Aperture directory, they were not an acceptable file format, and thus I could not use them.
Does this mean that Aperture is not reading the DNG file correctly or Adobe has got it wrong with their DNG conversion of the X3F file format ?
Do I need to wait for an Aperture update to fix the problem of using the X3F file format ? Is there a solution around in using Aperture with Sigma X3F raw photos ?

Aperture does not currently support Sigma X3F or linear DNG (only raw DNG), and Adobe's DNG Converter can only yield a linear DNG from an X3F. So your only choices right now are to use a different product such as Lightroom which does support X3F, or use the supplied Sigma Photo Pro software to generate 16 bit TIFFs which you can then import into Aperture. Because Sigma Photo Pro is unstable and slow on Macs, I've been effectively forced to use Lightroom. Lightroom is a capable product, but it lacks the elegance of Aperture, so I remain dimly hopeful that Apple will eventually support X3F, and somewhat more hopeful that it will at the very least eventually support linear DNG.
