DNG editor refuses to open any DNG image

I 'm trying to use DNG editor b1 win 072808 under Vista, with DNG images generated with Adobe DNG converter 4.5.0.175, from Canon and Olympus raw files. None are accepted by DNG editor : "DNG editor could not open the selected image". Sorry for this basic problem, but I can't go further to explorate the promising features of the Editor...
Thanks in advance.
John

Yes, your hint works - I put a DNG image in C:\Windows\temp and the Profile editor opened it.
I do appreciate to have an answer from you in person on a Saturday morning...
Thanks a lot for this and all your brillant work.

  • I have a LR 3.6  64 bit that refuses to open any images today

    I have a LR 3.6  64 bit that refuses to open any images today.  Computer restore point created  and used , Norton cleaned still not joy any ideas guys?

    Rose, the problem is that you've somehow managed to ask Lightroom create a catalog folder with the name of an existing photo file, which as you have seen causes problems in LR3 (the bug was fixed for later releases). The only reliable fix is to reset the Lightroom preferences file (so that it forgets about that invalid catalog, so stops trying to open it). C.frans has already given you a link to tell you how to reset the preferences, but if you need more detailed instructions you can find them here:

  • Help please!Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open any files (windows 7)

    I have Photoshop elements 8 for my windows 7 laptop. I updated my laptop and now Photoshop won't open any files. I click on the psd/jpeg/png that i want to open(file,open) and nothing appears in the editor. even if i try by double clicking it the editor will show up but no file.i have tried restarting the laptop but it still wont work. I can't uninstall photoshop because it came pre-installed on my laptop and no disc or installer came with it. If anyone can please help me i'd be very gratefull.

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 Editor crashes upon opening any image

    I have been trying for 2 days to get my Photoshop to work.
    I've used PSE7 for years, no issues. Suddenly yesterday, every time I try to open an image in the full editor, I get the "Photoshop has stopped working... check online for a solution or close the program" message.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PSE7, rebooting, as well as plenty of other fixes I found on here. Nothing has worked.
    I'm on Windows Vista 64 bit.
    I tried to call Adobe customer support ALL DAY, since 9am. Between hours of hold time, being told I have to leave a call back number that never gets called back, and getting hung up on by the rudest customer service rep in the history of the world, I am at the end of my rope.
    I'm a professional photographer and graphic designer, and I've now lost 2 full days of work time and cannot get a single answer on forums or help on the phone from Adobe. I'm seriously losing it.
    Can someone please help me figure out what happened to the program I was perfectly and completely happy with for years so I can get some work done?
    Thanks,
    Maggie

  • Canon MX920 refuses to print any color images

    What could be going on??? It WILL print a black and white image I send it. However I bought a color printer.  Yet am denied ability to print in color.
    The color ink levels seem fine. It has printed color before. However now FULL stop. No longer allows me to print color.. just sits hangs makes lots of noise.
    Ready to box up and return to store as yet another printer that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.. print.

  • DNG Profile Editor won't open DNG from Panasonic LX3

    I need help.  I've just added a new camera (Panasonic DMC LX3) and I want to create custom camera profiles for use in Lightroom.  I have done this with all my cameras before with no problems.  The raw files open fine in Lightroom (2.6) and CS-4 Camera Raw (5.6.0.148).  First I exported to DNG from Lightroom then tried to open the file in DNG Profile Editor.  I received the following error message:
    "DNG Profile Editor could not open the selected image.  Note that the selected image must be a valid DNG colr image".  I tried the usual closing and re-launching the application, restarting the computer, etc. all to no avail.  I then downloaded the latest stand alone DNG converter (5.6) and performed a fresh conversion with that.  Still no luck.  The DNG's all open fine in Lightroom and CS-4.  Any suggestions?  These profiles have become an important part of my workflow.
    Mac Pro 2X 2.8 Quad Xenon, 10GB ram, 4TB HDD, OS-X 10.5.8
    and MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 4GB ram, OS-X 10.5.8
    Lightroom 2.6 (64 bit)
    CS-4
    DNG Profile Editor 1.0.0.39 Beta 2

    Yes, I used the stand alone converter as well as lightroom.  I did find a solution on another post.  I changed the dng compatibility in the drop down menu to "Camera Raw 4.6 and later" (it was set to " Camera Raw 5.4 and later") and it worked fine.  This worked with both the stand alone DNG converter and exporting as DNG from Lightroom.  It seems that the DNG profile editor hasn't been updated since the 2008 beta so It doesn't recognize the newer spec DNG.  Thank you for your assistance, I was starting to panic...

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor won't open, trial info keeps popping up

    Okay, I own Photoshop Elements 11 but the Photo Editor refuses to open. When I click it, a pop up shows up for the trial version of PSE 11 saying I should buy it. I already have the lisence for PSE11 so i don't know what the problem is. (Also Organizer works but won't upload images and I tried the CRT+shift+Alt things but the delete preferences popup doesn't show.)
    I might have deleted a plug-in or something by accident, not sure if that would effect it but I did a systems restore.

    I don't want to re-install because my account says I can't.
    What exactly is the message you're getting?

  • Photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file

    When I purchased CS3 Web Premium it took several months of tooling around to get it to install on Vista HP. Photoshop cs3 worked fine for a few months after installation. It now refuses to open any files - just goes to an eternal spinning icon. When I try to shut it down, it just says not responding. I reinstalled once (takes hours) and it worked for an afternoon. Next morning back to not opening files.
    Macine is dell xps M1210, 2Gb Ram, Core 2 T5600 processor, NVIDIA Go 7400 64Mb card.
    Help.

    Problem (hopefully) solved!
    file>open has always been available, but when i select a file and open it is when it hangs. Hitting esc then has no effect.
    Tried the reset preferences - still no change.
    A friend suggested delete all network printers and voila - it worked! Still keeping fingers and toes crossed every time I use pshop, a little annoying that I have to send files to another machine to print (fortunately I rarely need to print files), and input devices hard to use with everything crossed.
    Thanks for suggestions Dave.

  • Unable to open any file in Elements 11

    Please help.  Why would my Elements 11 suddenly refuse to open ANY file.  It worked yesterday.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  When I select open and select the file, nothing happens.  Nothing.  No errors, no opening of files, nothing.  It doesn't matter what file type I select, even psd files won't open.  I'm having to resort to going back and load Elements 7.   I have to get this work done.  Why is this happening?  What can I do to fix?

    Make sure you're online with a good connection, open PS 11, click on the Help menu and select "Updates.." on the bottom.  The rest should be automatic.  It should upgrade you to 7.4.

  • Photoshop CC won't open any files

    I just installed PS CC on a clean machine, did nothing else, no moving of files or plugins.  No Adobe products on the PC before this install.  And I am unable to open any files in PS, that include opening a new untitled document.  Nothing ever opens.  What is going ON!?  Fresh installation from Creative Cloud app tool.
    System is Windows 8.1, no previous Adobe products on this box.  Not impressed with Creative Cloud if this is how the tools work right out of the gate.  Staff, any suggestions?

    PS CS6 had the same problems initially.  I did a restart of the system and now it seems to be working.  So I'd make sure you tell people if they install or reinstall, try a system reboot before suggesting they start killing apps.  I think that's a red herring.
    The symptoms and sequence of work-around's I had were the following, which might help in understanding what was going wrong.  Note, only PS seems to be affected as all other CC apps I tried successfully opened and created their file types.
    Install several apps via Creative Cloud app (PS, AI, etc)
    Launch PS CC (and PS CC64)
    Would get an error dialog during launch about a defective existing monitor color profile (choosing 'Ignore' or 'Use' made no difference).
    Try to create new file (File\New).
    On first attempt you get the New Dialog UI.  Select any choices, doesn't seem to matter, none resulted in a successful New Untitled windows opening.
    On second attempt of File\New you get no New Dialog UI.
    Try to open any existing image file on my system (any format), via File menu, or drag drop.  Result is nothing, no document window opens.  No errors reported by app.  Just silent failure.
    Uninstall PS CC. NOTE Creative Cloud app doesn't provide an uninstall option, must be done by system Control Panel.
    Attempt to reinstall PS CC via Creative Cloud app, but could not because it didn't update as 'uninstalled'.  Still listed PS CC as an installed app. ??
    Went to Adobe site to CC Download center to initiate new install from there, but that didn't help either because it launches Creative Cloud app which still thought PS CC was already installed.
    Chose PS CS6 instead so I could at least install something PS.
    Test new install of PS CS6, all the same bug behavior as with PS CC.  Identical to experience with PS CC.
    Restart PC.  PS CS6 works fine now. 
    Not going to try to reinstall PS CC because I just don't trust this stuff now.  Will stay with PS CS6 because its now working.
    Hope this helps you guys.  I see a lot of people in the forums complaining about various similar issues with opening files.  Something you really should address.

  • DNG image quality in iPhoto

    I have recently acquired a Zeiss Photoscope (in effect, a spotting scope with an integrated camera) which records raw images as either JPG or DNG files or both. (I'm a birdwatcher who likes to take photos of them, not a photographer first and foremost). When I view the images in iPhoto 9.2, the highest quality JPG files are far superior to the DNG files, even though the JPGs are about 2 MB while the DNGs are 14 MB. The DNGs are obviously pixellated even at low ISO settings (50 or 100), while the JPG images appear sharp and show pixellation only when blown up digitally in iPhoto.
    In some cases, I see evidence of chromatic aberration in the DNG images that is less evident in the JPG files, too.
    Is there something about the way DNG files work with iPhoto that causes this? Is there recommended software for looking at DNG files that might eliminate the problem? Any other ideas about how to resolve this?

    Even as an ardent Mac fanatic since 1984, I have to tell you that iPhoto is an unmitigated piece of cr@p when it comes to image quality, though it has certain hand-holding features that make it very attractive to photo amateurs.
    The raw conversion, whether from a straight raw file or from a raw DNG file, will be far superior if you view them after converting/rendering them in Adobe software, either Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.  The latter, a free plug-in, can be hosted either by the (very expensive) full version of Photoshop, or by the relatively inexpensive ($99.99) Photoshop Elements, although when hosted by Photoshop Elements it only offers a subset of the controls, adjustments and functionality of the very same plug-in when hosted by the full version of Photoshop.

  • PSE does not open any image nor it is possible to open a new file

    Hello,
    having installed Photoshop Elements 13 for the first time on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 Bit) computer it is a big disappointment.
    I cannot open any image. It does not matter whether it is on a network share or local disk.
    Have no deinstalled the program and reinstalled. But the behaviour does not change at all.
    In the organizer I can select an image but when I want to transfer it the editor nothing happens.
    It is also not possible to create a new empty image.
    Anybody else having this behaviour?
    - Holger -

  • DNG images appearing blue

    When I open my .dng images, they appear fine in Camera Raw Plug-in, however once I click Open Image, my image turns bluish in Photoshop
    I downloaded a sample DNG image from the net to test and here is what I see
    This is how the image appears in Camera Raw
    This is how it appears after I click open image

    Undo that? Why?
    I changed it back to the default Adobe RGB and now again my images appear blue
    I dont know whats going on
    I feel for you!
    You should leave your Photoshop working space as AdobeRGB. Your workspace is totally separate to your display profile, and only determines which colours you can work with in your images, and potentially save in a finished file.
    Your display profile determines how known colours finally appear on your screen. Your calibrator instructs you to get the best picture possible on your monitor, and then generates a display profile so that your CM-aware applications know how to display colours correctly. It seems, in this case, that it got it wrong.
    This is why I suggested using sRGB or the manufacturer's profile. It may not be perfect, but it could prove that your handmade profile is way off. If your monitor is a new-ish wide-gamut variety, the sRGB profile will produce over-vivid results as a display profile, so the manufacturer's own (if available) would be the best starting point.

  • DNG Image Width/Length

    Nikon 5000 camera. I am converting nefs to dng. I am new to this whole area. I am trying to figure out why previews ina given software (IDImager) look different for the dng vs the nef. As an aside I am  looking at eh exif data. For the nef the data are:
    Image Width:160
    Image Length: 120
    For the DNG
    Image Width: 256
    Image Length: 170
    Why are they different? And does it matter since as I understand this only for how the RAW data are viewed in any preview and have no effect on the actual "raw" data.
    JD

    If you're talking about the JPEG preview image contained within the files, I think the DNG converter is simply creating a little bit larger preview image.  This does not have any impact on the raw data.
