DNG files in Bridge???

Ok, so I am new to CS6 but I am going crazy, can some one help please?! So I downloaded all my files in dng format, but when I look at them in bridge, I have these super tiny images. They don't get any bigger so it makes sorting through my images impossible. I have to open each one individually in ACR (takes me forever to go through a whole shoot). How do I fix this? What will make them bigger or should I make them into some other format? Any help would be super appreciated!

If I do that it doesn't get any bigger just makes the window bigger, not the image
If that is the case something is wrong with your set up. The slider bottom right Yammer p pointed you to does alter the size of the thumbnails, not the panel itself.
Top right are the workspace names, at the right of it is triangle, click on it and choose reset workspace. Otherwise restart bridge holding down option (mac) or control (win) when restarting bridge and choose reset preferences.
If still out of luck provide more details about your computer (RAM / VRAM) OS version and exact Bridge version.

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

Cannot open DNG files via Bridge or Lightroom in Photoshop?

I have a problem that has popped up since I installed the 5.6 RAW upgrade to my CS4/Lightroom 2.2 package. Hopefully someone would be kind enough to help me diagnose it, as it affects only about 85,000 raw files currently in my Lightroom Catalogue.
The files were originally shot using a Canon professional camera in their proprietary RAW format, CR2. This conversion occurred upon input into Lightroom while at the same time the original CR2 files discarded (as I am not the son of a Hard Drive Manufacture!). After the installation of the recent DNG/RAW converter upgrade I first noticed that the dng files would not display in Bridge even if I rebuild the cache, however, if I downloaded a Canon CR2 file they displayed without a problem. This condition Bridge; Lightroom continued to display both types of RAW files correctly, however the dng file now had a small triangle with an explanation symbol inside it on the top right of the thumbnail preview indicating that “Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo, while there was no associated problem with the canon CR2 file. The message 'You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo” was associated with the triangle icon. Quite discerning, considering this has occurred to all 18,000 previously imported and rendered dng previews.
I then tried to import the files into Camera RAW using the ‘right-click technique’ in Bridge on the dng file symbols representing the thumbnails that would be there if I did not have this problem. When I right clicked and selected ‘Open in Camera Raw’ there is no response what so ever. If I drag the dng symbol to the Photoshop desktop it results in the following error message “Could not complete your request because of a program error.” Either way there is no getting the dng file into Photoshop.
I have attempted the following fixes:
1. Clean reinstall of CS4 (saving preferences)
2. Clean update of Camera RAW 5.5
Does anyone out there have any solutions, recommendations, work-around or suggestions for this situation? Is it a problem with a conversion of the metadata? The file structure itself? Can it be fixed? At this juncture I am out of Tums’s, that nasty tasting pink stuff in the bathroom and am headed for the pharmacy for something stronger.
I would appreciate any help at all.

I know it does help find a solution, but I have run across some older DNG's that will open in LR 2 but will not open in Bridge/CSR 4. (These are DNG's created by Scott Kelby for his LR 2 book - I have attached on to this post.) I can open them first in LR and then tell LR to edit the image in Photoshop and it will open. I have not yet had the issue of LR not being able to open the DNG correctly. However, I may not have done a DNG conversion since I installed the 5.6 upgrade. When I get a chance I will go convert some CR2 files and see what happens.
Mike
I have uploaded one of Kelby's dng's that will not open in my desktop nor laptop Bridge/CSR 4 w/all updates. DNG 5.6 is unable to process them as well. It will import into LR. Other than that I cannot cause DNG's not to load into Bridge/CSR.
Opps the file is too big. You can download it from here. Kelby's Technical Copy Editor told me she did not have the same problem. Weird. I hope you solve your problem.

Dng files not viewable in bridge cs4 despite all updated. help?

i have a totally updated version of cs4 incuding camera raw 5.6 and would like to see my dng files in bridge. i can open a dng file from bridge into camera raw but the thumbnail images in bridge won't show the image only an icon.

Try purging the Bridge cache from within Preference

My Bridge update 5.2.0.4 has wrecked previews for all DNG files. They appear only sideways and small and I can't open Camera Raw in Bridge. Anyone else have the same problem?

I updated Bridge yesterday. CS6 5.2.0.4. Mac OS 10.9.5
Now all previews (DNG files) in Bridge appear sideways and only small thumbnail size.
Also Camera Raw has been disabled.
I have tried purging cache for the folders as well as purging entire cache.
I have also spent over an hour on the phone to tech support which mainly involved being switched between departments and trying to understand anyone on the phone.
Can anyone help?

Your Performance preferences screen capture reveals you have a single hard drive with little available space to accommodate both the Photoshop scratch file and the swap files of the OS.
It's obvious that Bridge finds itself at times with insufficient space to build its cache.
However, it's unclear why that should affect only DNG files and not other type of image files. Puzzling, unless the DNG files are the only large image files you have.
Parts of the following may illustrate what happens when the scratch file is on your boot drive:
The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

This is 2nd time this has occurred. Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it. Prefer to not do that again.
System: XP Media center, SP3, 3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2. Generic - motherboard graphic card. 18 GB disk space remaining.
Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom. Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves. Done this probably a thoudand times. Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor. Also Bridge will not run a Batch. Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out. For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available. Activate/Deactivate not accessible. Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

So far, no good. Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them. No change.
2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths. I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes. But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning. Under the file tab, nothign important works. Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out. But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts. Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS. The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional. The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility. I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities. I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
Problems still exist as described.
5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
Problems still exist as described above. I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install. Ran complete Updates from within Bridge. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
Additional Notes: I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago. Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up. After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal. As do my old Nik plug ins. I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
Thank you.

DNG files wont import

I've been shooting with Hasselblad for a few years, the workflow is as follows.
Import 3fr direct into Lightroom or when shooting tethered direct into Phocus I export a dng from Phocus and import the dng into Lightroom.
Sometime ago (over a year ago) I was having the same problem, today it reared its sweet face again...... .
When I try and import dng files into lightroom I can seethe thumbnails in the import screen. When I try and import nothing hapens and I have to resatrt lightroom.
I've tried the following.
Import at the same location
Import and copy to a new location
Import and rename the files.
I’ve created a new set of DNG files from bridge and tried to import them.
I just downloaded 3.5rc , the problem remains.
Really need to get the files imported and on with work.
Thanks in advance for a speedy answer.
Regards,
Patrick

Found a solution.
I have just run "Clean my Mac", things seem to be working again. It appears to have been someething perhaps in the Cache.
It is now importiing though.

Bridge 'get photos from camera' stopped working and Bridge won't recognize my DNG files anymore

So, I've got Bridge set up to get pictures from mem.card whenever I insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed Sony's PlayMemories. Without asking me it hijacked Bridge's task of getting pictures from my cards. What's worse, I tried to fire the 'get photos from camera' function manually from Bridge. Bridge starts working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset Bridge, also told my laptop to run Bridge whenever I insert a card. Still nothing happens and I still can't get the 'get photos' function to run manually from Bridge. Anyway, I can still rund the DNG converter to get my pictures, but today Bridge won't recognize my DNG files - worked fine yesterday. I downloaded CS6 from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html and tried to run the installer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I need to do a full uninstall off CS6 for it to do anything..? Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my Bridge/CS6 issues I'd be grateful. I've got 3 sets of concert photos and a snowboard comp. shoot I need to finish this week

CS3: Bridge does not show dng-files

First it started to refuses to show NEF files, and now, it will not show dng files - or at least some of my dng files.
What the H.... is wrong with this crap?

But I do not understand, why Bridge suddenly cannot see them - when it could a couple of days ago
CS3 is known for being the worst version of Bridge with very strange behavior. Might be preferences or cache related or some other strange reason. Fact is that using old software for new digital cameras has the only advantage as being cheap. You do miss a lot of functions, options and especially quality for developing your Raw files. CS6 has a complete new Raw process version called 2012. And since you use CS3 you still will be at process 2003 and already missed process version 2010.
So you seriously should consider buying CS6 ( you missed the option for an upgrade since this was shut down per december last year due to new upgrade policy) if you want to get the most out of your expensive new dSLR

DNG Files Appearing as Icon not Thumbnail in Bridge CS3

Hi
If I save a Camera Raw manipulated image as a COMPRESSED (LOSSLESS) DNG file it appears back in CS3 Bridge as a DNG Icon and not as a thumbnail.
Is there a reason for this and can I get the saved file to appear as a thumbnail.
Many thanks

Bridge 2.x, the one that comes with CS3, is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major company, in my view. It should have been fixed for free, but it wasn't.
Cache management is extremely poor in Bridge CS3. Purge the Cache for the offending folders through the Tools menu in Bridge. DO NOT use the global purge command in Bridge preferences.
Fortunately, Bridge 3.x in CS4 is much, much better.

Import DNG files processed in Bridge CS3

I have imported 500 DNG files that have had some adjustments made to them in Adobe Bridge CS3. Aperture 2 does not seem to recognise the RAW adjustments that have been made in Bridge. I copied some of the DNG files to a DVD and then opened the DVD on another computer that has Bridge and the adjustments stick with the DNG file. How can you import DNG files into Aperture 2 that have been processed in Bridge without having to make the adjustments again?

{quote:title=Mark P A wrote:}How can you import DNG files into Aperture 2 that have been processed in Bridge without having to make the adjustments again?{quote}
You can't. The raw conversion made by ACR can not be read by Aperture and vice versa. The only reason you can read the settings in the DNG- file on another computer with ACR is that the sidecar file is embedded in the DNG. If you had not converted to DNG, then you had to export the XML- sidecar file as well if you wanted ACR on the other computer read the settings made to the raw file.

Cannot open DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge?

I used Adobe DNG converter on a batch of NEF files (D300). The conversion was successful and the .dng files show up in Bridge with the right preview. However, when I double-click on any of these files, it launches Photoshop and opens the file in CR hosted by Photoshop. This in spite of having my preferences set to "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" in the Bridge preferences. Furthermore, a right-click (or control-click) on the file's thumbnail shows the Open With... item only has "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (default)", and not the option to "Open with Camera Raw" that other RAW files have. Interestingly, if I do some editing in ACR, and click on "Done", then, right-click on the thumbnail, the missing options in the Open menu in Bridge re-appear!
I don't think this was happening before. Is this the expected behavior, or am I missing something?
My setup:
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Camera Raw 4.3.1
My computer:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!

Preview new DNG files in CS3 Bridge

Hi All,
I have Bridge CS3. It previews existing DNG files just fine, but when I drop new DNG files in the folder - while bridge is running - they show up as just icons - no preview. I have to wipe the cache and restart bridge in order to see the pictures.
It'd be useful to just drop the files in a folder, and they would be immediately availble for preview in bridge.
Any suggestions?
thanks

thanks for the quick reply.
Click on another folder, and then back - no change.
Purge cache - Tools->Cache->Purcge Cache for folder "test"
Local folder on C drive hard disk.
Press f5/refresh - no change.
JPG files work file
Same thing happens with PSD files, but purging the cache works.
Only thing that works is for me to purge the cache and restart bridge.
My Camera can only output DNG or PEF raw files. Bridge does not even recognize PEF files.

Importing DNG files edited in Bridge

Thousands of DNG photo's were edited in Bridge, Now I want to put all those files into Aperture but Aperture doesn't regognise the sidecar settings made in Bridge. So, when I want to use Aperture I have to edit all those files again.
Do I do something wrong, or is there a way that Aperture will regognize the Bridge settings embedded in the DNG files?

I'm pretty sure you will need to save the DNGs as flattened images, perhaps as TIFF or straight PSD.
Our company will not adopt DNG for many reasons but mostly because it's just another non-universal format. We maintain our raw images on a separate Macintosh system so we can always go back to the source files but we upload TIFF or PSD to our coworkers, the Photoshop and CS2 geeks. They do not understand raw at all.
Support for DNG, despite Adobe's attempts, is spotty throughout the photo industry. It may catch on but it's not the same incentive for camera mfrs as, say, PDF is in the print and document distribution industries. If you dive deeply into DNG Evangelism, you will see complete support for DNG exists only in Adobe products.
Sorry for the off-topic rant, hope you get better advice as the days pass.
