DNG files display artifacts in Lightroom but not in Camera Raw

I've been scratching my head over this one for a few days so hopefully someone here can help.  Some of my dng images are showing artifacts in Lightroom 3, see attached file as an example.  However, if I open these images in Camera Raw 5.7 the artifacts are gone!  The artifacts are also gone when I view the DNG in Windows Live Photo Gallery. The images are stored on a gigabit network server with the LR catalog file on the local Win 7 PC.  One other thing I noticed is that for some images (not all) the artifacts will show up in the Library module but disappear when viewed in the Develop module. There are no "damaged file" error messages for Lightroom when viewing the affected files.  I tried clearing out the Camera Raw Cache but nothing changed.
So my questions are:  Are these files damaged or not? Is there a way to fix this problem. Why are they showing up fine in other image programs?  Is there a utility that can verify the integrity of a suspect DNG file?

  • With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have camera raw 2.4

    With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
    Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

  • DNGs produced from Hasselblad .fff files display a different image in Bridge and Camera Raw

    Lately, not sure when this started exactly, Bridge CC (and Camera RAW 8.7) are displaying incorrect DNG images!  Instead of showing the image I expect to see, I'll see an old image from days ago.  This seems to carry on from Bridge through to Camera RAW.  But then if I continue on to Photoshop with the image, it'll finally show the correct image. 
    I'm assuming this has something to do with DNG, because if I load another raw file type (like .fff or .NEF), it seems ok.  Also it seems to be ok with DNGs produced from other cameras like Nikon D90.
    My set up:
    - Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
    - Bridge CC
    - Camera Raw 8.7
    - Photoshop CC 2014
    - Hasselblad H4D-50

    HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

  • Took photos with iphone 4s. Pic displays in picture preview, but not in camera roll. Any advice? Pic should be on phone somewhere.

    Took photo with iphone 4s. Picture displays in picture preview on bottom left, but is not in camera roll. Pic should be in phone somewhere since it's in preview. Any advice?

    Ok try this kennylebouef,
    Open multitasking by double tapping the home button (at the bottom), a row of apps you've recently used should appear, tap and hold the photos app until it wiggles and displays an x, tap the x to close and then reopen the camera roll app. Let me know if it works. It's odd and frustrating, I know.

  • Lightroom is not recognizing Camera raw.

    I have Lightroom 2.3 & cannon 50D camera.
    Whenever i am importing the raw files into Lightroom it is not recognizing it.
    I have Camera raw 5.1 & 5.4 both.
    I am using Vista 64 bit.

    I am having the same problem.  I have LR2 and it does not recognize my RAW images taken with Canon 50D.  I also have a Canon Rebel xti, and there are no problems with LR2 recognizing Rebel Camera RAW files.  I installed LR2.5 and the same problem continues with the 50D.
    I am running Windows Vista 64bit (Home Edition).  Adobe tech support is no help, they said there are no issues with LR2 associated with the 50D, so there must be something wrong with my camera.... but when searching the web, I have seen others say similar things regarding LR2 and canon 50D.
    Anybody out there who can provide some real effective advice and help??

  • All of a sudden, files are brown in Lightroom, but not when exported or viewed in Bridge.

    Look at the Histogram. The color layer on top is usually gray tones (not brown). The thumbnails are white dishes on white. As a yesterday, all the images displayed correctly. I opened LR4 today to this. I have not changed or updated my OS since.
    I had to export some images for a client today. I already did touchups. When export them, they look perfect. I also viewed all the photos in Bridge - color is correct. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    Corrupt Monitor Profile. If you calibrate, then recalibrate. If you don't calibrate (you should), change the monitor profile temporarily to sRGB, which will fix things until you get a proper calibration done.

  • Lightroom does not recognize the raw format of files loading from my Nikon AW1 and loads them as jpegs. I know there are updates that would allow this camera to be recognized as shooting raw but I haven't been able to work it out. Any help out there?

    Lightroom does not recognize the raw files (necs?) coming in from my Nikon AW1. It loads them as jpegs. I know it is possible to update Lightroom so it knows my Nikon but I can't get it to work.
    I would like files to be loaded as .dng.

  • RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
    You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3.   Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
    Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
    Please post details of the version you are using at present.

  • I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
    Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
    All help is welcome,
    Thanks

    No, the older versions are not free.  If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe.  You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.

  • Cannot open DNG files in CS3 or Lightroom?

    When I convert RAW files from my new DMC-LF1 camera to DNG, I can not open the files in CS3 or Lightroom. Isn't DNG supposed to be a universal format?
    I do not have problems with converted DNG files from my Nikon cameras.

    I use the free Adobe DNG Converter vers. 8.1 der supporter mit Panasonic DMC-LF1. I just downloaded this version and now am able to open my Panasonic DNGs in Lightroom, but not in CS3. There are no problems opening my Nikon DNGs in both programs.
    This certainly leaves the problem about DNG as a universal format lasting far out in the future, doesn't matter what camera the file came from.

    As far as I know DNG is supposed to be standardised format. What are you using to convert the RAW files to DNG?

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

  • Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

    Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder  I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro.  I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any.  The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

    The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
    It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
    Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?
