DNG Converter not working

I have CS4 and just bought a D7000, realised it won't convert the RAW images to DNG. I have downloaded the latest converter but it is not seeing the images on the SD card or from a folder on the laptop. Have downloaded several times.

Dng Converter not working in Bridge

Hi
I have CS3 and have already downloaded the latest version of the DNG converter. When I use the Converter as a separate application, it works fine to convert my RAW files to DNG files. Recently I discovered the process in Bridge called "Get Photos from Camera" where I can process many steps with one click. Unfortunately, the part where it is suppose to convert my RAW to DNG files isn't working. Any ideas why? Some background info, I recently upgraded from Vista 64bit to Windows 7 64bit. I uninstalled PS CS3 and then installed it back, and it's working fine except for this one little step. Do I need to install the DNG converter again, but designate it to put loaded into a different folder so that Bridge recognizes it ? Would appreciate any support or feedback. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

I discovered this Bridge process in a Scott Kelby Book, for CS3, called "Get Photos for Camera". He specifically goes thru each step, and the second step is the DNG Conversion process. It worked for him. It should work for me.
Ah, but did he do it for images from a 2009 camera with a 2007 version of PS?

Latest DNG converter not working in command-line mode

Today I downloaded Adobe's latest DNG converter. It is failing with both .NEF and .CR2 files when run in command-line mode. It does appear to work in GUI mode. The switches+arguments I've used for my tests are:
-u -e -p1 filename.CR2
(or filename.NEF)
With an older (CS2) version of the converter, the above arguments produce a .DNG output file as expected (with .CR2 files; I didn't try it with D3 .NEF files; surely that older version doesn't support the D3's format).
With the very latest version, running the program with the above command produces no output. There's no error message.
The 'readme' file that comes with the converter doesn't include any information about command-line usage, but I did find a PDF file covering this (adobe.com/products/dng/pdfs/dng_commandline.pdf). The switches+arguments shown in the PDF file appear to be exactly the ones I used in the past.
I'm sure I'll need to use the most recent version to convert D3 RAW files. Is there something wrong with how I'm specifying its command-line switches/arguments?

It struck me silly that I've been running tests with v.3.3 when 5.2 is the latest, so I downloaded it. The setup "wizard"...hmm, why is it a "wizard"? It provides no choice of installation path. I didn't realize this because immediately after I'd launched it, I knocked something onto the floor, reached down to pick it up ... and looked back up just in time to see the "wizard" complete the installation...but where, I didn't know. It didn't display any information about where it had installed the app. Adventures In Discoverability. :) I hunted around on the hard drive until I found it (C:\Program Files\Adobe -- well, at least you can launch it if you think to look for it in the 'Start' menu). So ... that needs a bit of work. Anyway, I copied the app into a directory of my choice -- one that's in my system's %PATH%, replacing spaces in the name with underscores. It works fine in that directory -- no problem with the name-change as far as I can tell. Now back to the fun stuff...
This version doesn't seem to require a fully qualified path to the input file or to the output directory when "-d" is used. That's an improvement. IOW, this worked:
converter -p1 -d DNG filename
where "converter" is the program's name, "DNG" is the name of a subdirectory of the directory where I'm running the test, and "filename" is the name of a RAW file in that directory.
The program still doesn't know how to create a directory (or ask about creating one if it doesn't exist). Fails silently if "-d" is used and the specified directory doesn't exist. But at least this version returns an exit code of 1 due to the failure -- better than returning 0.
Still doesn't understand wildcards. Hope done sprang eternal there for a moment, but oh well. Back to "for" loops...
Still fails silently, returning exit code 0 (oops), if a nonsensical command-line is used (e.g., using "-c" as the only argument).
Hey, how about a truly silly command-line error -- a command line including both "-c" and "-u". What happens? It "consumes" the first of the two mutually exclusive switches, ignoring the second -- you get a compressed DNG file. Swap the order of the switches, and you get an uncompressed file. (I'd vote for a syntax-error message in that case, m'self.)
Interestingly strange little program...If I run it from the command line, it drops back to the command line immediately after I press ENTER. That makes it appear to have failed. But it hasn't -- it's running in the background, and a few seconds later the DNG file is created. But, if I run it from within a batch file, it does NOT return control to me until it has completed writing the output file. Wonder what's up with that.
Fun stuff. :)

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D.

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D (it does not see them). I tried DNG converter version 8.2 and 8.4. No success. I use iMac. What is wrong?

hopefully, that's a typo on adobe's website because they list the canon 70d as using a .cs2 file extension, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
i don't see any other camera that uses a .cs2 extension and i don't see other people having problems, so that probably is a typo.
in any case, cr 8.2 or better is able to convert your camera's raw files. why you are having a problem i can't say, but double check that you are navigating to the correct folder by adding a file that will show up in your dng converter.

DNG Converter stopped working

I am using the Adobe DNG Convertor to convert my CR2 Canon RAW images to DNG files, then Photoshop Elements to save as a JPEG. I use a MAC. The Adobe DNG converter is version 4.4. (It always worked so, I never messed with it.)
When I open the DNG Converter, it no longer sees the CR2 files in my iPhoto (iMac) library.
I recently did a software upgrade on my iMac. Perhaps that messed it up.
I have 1.0.4.6 Bridge that I don't use.
If I need to upgrade, what do I upgrade? Should I uninstall the DNG first as it doesn't look like there is an upgrade...just a newer version.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any detail would be appreciated! Thanks.

I don't understand why the DNG converter would just stop working. Did you get a newer camera? If the camera you are using is not supported by that version, that could be part of the problem. I would suggest that you download the most recent version of the DNG converter. It will be compatible with the most cameras. Also, I note that there are some compatibility options that need to be set in the newer versions that help to ensure compatibility with your other software. But you really should be using a more recent version. There are no "upgrades" to any version of the DNG converter, there are only newer versions as you have observed. It is in your best interest to always use the most recent version. It will create DNG files that are compatible with all versions of Camera Raw since version 2.4.

DNG SDK not working on Mac (Leopard)

Hi, I am writing a program to create dng files via the latest adobe dng sdk. I follow the same basic recipe as outlined in the example dng_validate code. On a Windows PC, the created thumbnails and previews appear just fine. However, the same code on the Mac creates dng files that do not show the thumbnails or the previews. In addition, apple programs like Aperture do not recognize these dng files either, even though they validate correctly by the provided dng_validate program on the Mac. Is this a bug in the Mac version of the SDK? OR, are there additional steps that are needed for these dng files to work???

Hi Eric,
An example image is given below. The first one (test.dng) is the image we created with the Adobe DNG SDK on a Mac. The second image (test_dngv.dng) is the result of running it through the dng_validate program (which uses a compressed image by default with the -dng option), and therefore much smaller in size.
Neither of these images produce visible thumbs or previews on the Mac (not in any of the Apple programs such as Finder, Preview, Aperture, iPhoto etc.). However, when placed onto a Windows machine, they appear just fine everywhere.
As the previous poster has indicated, this may not be the fault of the Adobe DNG SDK, but for all practical purposes it is a hindrance to us. Whoever is at fault, the bottom line is that the DNG format is proving to be less portable than other image formats such as TIFF or JPG. We have no problem moving these other formats from any computer to any other computer, whether it be Mac or Windows. We are trying to support Adobe and its efforts with new standards, but this is costing us valuable engineering time in dealing with these matters, that just do not exist with other formats.
And, I apologize if this is presented in the wrong forum. However, we would appreciate if you can help us in this matter. Obviously, it can be done, since the Adobe DNG Converter program is capable of generating dng files with proper thumbs and previews on a Mac. It is just not documented anywhere for developers trying to work with the DNG SDK.

DNG Converter Wont work?

oh guys I am tearing my hair out!
I bought a new camera Fuji FinePix S200EXR it was an upgrade from a previouse Fugi FinePix camera.
I use Photoshop CS3 extended.
Thing is, when I try to open the RAW images, they are displayed as RAF ( Raw Image Format ) and PS wont recognise them.
( didnt have this problem with my older fugi camera which had RAW format )
So I did all of the upgrades to the RAW plugins for PS and it still wont recognise them at all.
I Dowloaded the RAW plugin and installed to my PS plugin Folder and then tried this
To install with Adobe Creative Suite 3 or Photoshop CS3:
1. Exit Photoshop CS3.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi 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.8bi, from the download into the same folder as in step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
Still it wont work.. infact I have just gone back to the directory and am there isnt a plugin folder there anymore.
So I got the DNG converter but when I select the folder from and select to convert into the same folder, it lists the images but says " no images converted" after I press convert...
gggrrr
Any of this ring any bells?
Many thanks!
What am I doing wrong?

This camera model is not yet supported in the latest ACR and DNG releases (5.5). For a list of supported cameras please visit: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html. Thanks!

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!

Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

Since installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
Somebody else the same problem?

I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.

DNG converter not functioning

I use DNG converter just about every day of my life. I'm on PC Win764. After a big archiving session where I used lossy conversion on several thousand files to crunch down the size, DNG Convereter has stopped working. Here's a screenshot:
None of the grayed out panels work or respond. I uninstalled (V 7.2) by deleting the DNG.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe and reinstalled and restarted. The issue was unchanged. So I uninstalled and reverted to V7.1. Exactly the same. Next I uninstalled and ran the new V7.3. Exactly the same.
Fortunately I can run my conversions on another identical Win7 64 PC on the network, but it's not ideal of course. Any ideas?
Regards, Paul Wright

My nearby computer expert took a look at this, and was able to solve the problem for me. He noted...
The problem was a corrupted settings entry in the Windows registry. When the following hex value was deleted, functionality was restored:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\DNG Converter\7.0\Preferences
Presumably the registry entry got corrupted somehow, but the DNG Converter software should not have been affected in this way. The software should be able to detect and repair/replace corrupted settings.
If Adobe engineers wish to replicate the error, what follows is the corrupted registry entry:

DVCPRO HD Frame rate converter not working

Hello all
I cant seem to get my frame rate converter to work. I shot the footage on my hvx200 at 720p30 and then put it in film mode and changed the frame rate to 60. Then I log and transfered it into FCP and when i go to convert it i keep getting the same message.
www.okayyellow.com/errormessage.png
does anyone know why? I have gotten some footage to convert before with no problems.
Thanks

All worked well last time I did this (late March), but upgraded to Leopard since then and brought all FCStudio apps up to date at the same time.
Looks like on import (log/transfer in FCP from Firestore) somehow the files are being flagged as having 'temporal compression', which can't be true if they're DVCPRO-HD, can it? Anyway the 'temporal compression' seems to be blocking the conform in CT, as well as the DFCPRO FRC in FCP.
So I tried importing the files from the Firestore thru an older version of FCP (5.1.4) that I have on my PowerBook (the problems described above are on my Mac Pro). I then copied these files out of the capture folder over to the Mac Pro, and sure enough: no problems with 'temporal compression'. The files were all marked as "maximum quality" and were allowed to be conformed from 60 to 24 in CTools, and have dupl frames removed using the FRC as needed.
So something appears to be broken with FCP 6.0.3 and how it imported this particular set of files on the Firestore.
I should note that if I hadn't tried to conform or FRC these files, I might never have noticed that there was a problem - they behaved as normal 720/60 files when just viewing them.

Dng files not working after opening it once

I have a Parrot Bebop drone and took photos in the DNG format. I can open the DNG images only once. It opens in Photoshop RAW, I change some settings and crop the image. Once I press the "Done" button, I can no longer open the DNG file and Photoshop just says the file format is not supported!?!?!?

If you can give us the Camera model, DNG converter version Camera Raw version and other information, it will help us chase it down.
As a starter, be sure Photoshop and Camera Raw are updated.
