DNG won't convert my .cr2 photos

I use a Canon Xsi and because Aperture 2 won't accept my raw photos (this seems to be a near-universal problem) I needed to use DNG, but then even DNG won't read accept them. I get the message "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." I'm using DNG 5.3 and all of the files in the folder are .cr2. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm not very familiar with the Canon models, but it appears that your camera was supported prior to version 5.4. Are you trying to convert raw images or are they sRaw? Try converting regular raw images and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, hopefully someone else will have a better idea.

DNG won't convert CR2 files from Canon 30D

I have installed Camera Raw 2.4 and also DNG converter. But when I try to convert Canon 30D CR2 raw files the DNG converter simply says: The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files. Have also tried dragging an individual image onto the icon, as instructed, but get same message: Can anyone perhaps help? Thanks.

You should always use the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently the Adobe DNG Converter 5.3, available here:

Considering you don't indicate what version of ACR you think you are running or what OS you are one, not sure how anybody could help you other than to tell you to go to the http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html, click on the Camera Raw 5.6 update and read the Read Me file to learn how to properly install it.

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?

Problem Converting Canon CR2 Files to DNG

I am currently on holiday, shooting photos with my Canon 70D in raw (CR2), and I have my Macbook Air with me, with Lightroom 5.4 installed on it. After each day's shooting, I have been putting the flash card from the camera into the laptop, and downloading the photos using Lightroom, converting the CR2 files to DNG in the process. This was working fine until a couple of days ago when suddenly, Lightroom has decided that it can no longer do the conversion. It displays the photos on the card, it allows me to choose the ones I want to download, and then it tells me that it cannot convert/download them because it cannot read the files. Well, if it cannot read the files, how can it display them so that I can make my choices? And why, after working successfully for weeks, am I suddenly getting this error message ... nothing has changed in my hardware or software in either the camera or computer. Any and all help would be most appreciated. Thank you!!

Thanks very much for the answer, but I'm afraid it is not very enlightening ... at least to someone like me. I do not understand where I would look for a write permission issue ... especially since nothing has changed (as far as I know). Can you give me any further help? Thanks!

Does converting RAW CR2 + XMP convert both of those into the DNG file, or does it just convert the CR2?

This is a stupid question that somehow, after hours of searching, I can't find a definitive answer for:
I have an existing catalog of photos that are stored in .CR2 (Canon RAW) format, plus accompanying XMP sidecar files on the photos I've edited. If I decide to convert those to DNG, does the conversion process automatically pick up the edits I've done from the XMP files and write those edits into the resulting DNG? Or does the conversion process just convert the CR2 --> DNG only, ignoring the XMP sidecar file?
Stupid question, but a really important one!
Bonus question:
Does the conversion process leave the CR2 and XMP files in the folder as they are, and just add the DNG in addition to those? Or does it delete the source CR2 and XMP files, REPLACING those with the DNG?

really important / crucial?, to me? - never.
Don't get me wrong: some people *love* the feeling they get when deleting the original proprietary raws - like they're standing up for a cause or something. If you are such a person, then by all means: knock yourself out, and enjoy - nothing terrible is likely to happen (unless Adobe goes under and/or DNG format falls flat..).
I have discovered a surprisingly large number of cases where some (Adobe-converted) DNGs were not readable, e.g.
* Bibble
* CaptureOne
* DxO
(note: original proprietary raws were fine).
All of which purport support for DNG (and likely read out-of-camera DNGs from supported models just fine).
And if you search the forums you can discover more..
(in case Adobe responds (rare): "it's not our fault - programmers must not have read the spec closely enough..". On the other hand, Adobe is sometimes a year or so tardy when it comes to releasing the new spec - hmm.. - I guess turn-about is fair play (Nikon is sometimes tardy with NEF documentation which supports new cameras, forcing Adobe to work without (reverse-engineer) for the mean time..).
Two other software's that don't support DNG:
* Canon's DPP (and other Canon software).
* Nikon's NX2 (and other Nikon software).
If you want to display focus points, proprietary raw is required, period.
Me? If I were to bother to convert raw files to DNG, I would do the opposite of what most people do - instead of archiving the originals and using the DNGs, I'd archive the DNGs and use the originals. That way, I can open my photos in any software I choose, and/or see focus points if I feel like it, but if I get cryogenically frozen for a few decades whilst DNG wins the format war, I'll have the DNGs to use.
To each their own, just realize: DNG is not a standard, yet, and may never be, so you are playing the odds (burning bridges) if you discard originals. Adobe really wants it to be a standard, because it gives them an edge over their competitors (since Adobe controls the spec, and when it's released..), so if you want to help ensure Adobe success in the format war, then by all means: delete your originals.
To be clear: I personally support the DNG format, completely. I just don't convert my existing raws to DNG yet, and generally recommend to others who convert: keep your originals.

Question on converting edited CR2 files to DNG

Sorry, I cannot find a separate DNG forum. If this question is in the wrong place, please direct me to the correct forum.
I have lots of CR2 RAW files on my computer, and I am considering converting them to DNG. Many of these RAW files have already been edited and so have a separate XMP sidecar file containing the edits in the same folder. If I convert (using the Adobe DNG converter) these edited RAW files to DNG, what is converted? The CR2 RAW file alone, so that the converted DNG file is the same as the original unedited CR2 file? If so, what happens to the orphaned XMP file? Ignored?
My concern is that I will lose all RAW edits if I convert to DNG because the conversion process ignores the edits contained in the separate XMP file.
Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

So what you're saying is that the DNG conversion de-mosaics the image? I guess that's not surprising, since for compatibility with older Photoshop versions you'd have to deliver a more or less standardized format.
Kind of throws a big monkey wrench into claims that converting to DNG is functionally equivalent to opening raw images directly though... I was experimenting with a "fall leaves" image last night and no matter what I tried with the 2010 process I was still able to get more detail in bright red leaves with the 2003 process.
I suppose that says if you want maximum flexibility and control you'd better buy the Photoshop upgrades and stick to opening raw camera files directly. A variant on the "if you want to play you have to pay" adage.
-Noel
P.S., Does the DNG converter read the centralized database as well as XMP files? I personally prefer the database to the extra files.

I can not open CR2-photos (Canon)

Hello,
I can not open CR2 photos (Canon). :-(
Both Bridge and Photoshop CS3. Although I have installed the plug-in Camera Raw 4.6.
Lightroom 4.3 runs everything fine.
What should I do?
Thanks for your help!!!
Hallo,
Ich kann keine CR2-Fotos öffnen. :-(
Sowohl in Bridge als auch Photoshop CS3. Obwohl ich das PlugIn Camera RAW 4.6 installiert habe.
Lightroom4.3 läuft alles prima.
Was muss ich noch tun?

May I thought CS3 Camera Raw to version 4.6 supports only?
Have I said differently?
If you have decided to stick with an outdated version of Photoshop you have to accept that support for newer cameras will elude your similarily dated version of Camera Raw.
But the free current DNG Converter supports the same cameras as the most recent version of Camera Raw.
In any case you may want to post on the proper Forum.

See this faq:
FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
That will explain why each new camera model uses its own raw format. (.CR2 does not indicate a format, only a Canon family of formats).
The first link tells you what version of camera raw is needed for your camera : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You need ACR 7.4
The second link tells you which ACR versions are supported by Elements versions Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
PSE9 supports version 6.5
Further down on that paper, you get links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter for Mac or Win.
This standalone software can batch convert a whole folder of raw files to the DNG raw file format that your present PSE9 can read.
Otherwise, you would have to upgrade to version 10 or later.

As ssprengel said, for PSE5 you will need to install the 8.3 DNG converter. Here's the link: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694. It can convert those RAW files to Adobes DNG (their own RAW format) openable by PSE5.

Used Photoshop Image processor to batch convert from CR2 to Jpeg and the edits don't stick

Ok, so I had a huge wedding where the bride paid me to deliver a ton of images. Well, i did all my edits in ACR and then photoshop. While in photoshop all the edits look to have been applied. So, I use edit > Scripts>Image processor to convert the CR2 files to Jpeg in one fell Swoop. Well, on my last run though (checking any images for missed edits or what not), none of of the edits were applied to the saved jpegs. So I bring one up in Photoshop (the saved Jpeg) and the edits are applied in Photoshop. So I click save and it tries to save as a PSD file (which it was not originally saved as). I click to JPEG and it asks to replace the existing file and I do. Voila, all the edits are a-pplied. Now, I have about 200 images that I need to do this on.
Is this common with the image processor? Is it not for converting processed Raw files to JPEG and keep the edits?
I'm very frustrated since now, depending on my misunderstand of the tool, I have to spend extra time saving the files again. (At least I don't have to re-edit them)

I have action I wrote so that on large groups of pictures I hit my actions. It goes through the whole set. Then I hit my flatten and it goes through the whole set. Then I go to scripts > image processor and covert them to jpeg.
The weird thing is when I bring up the jpegs in photoshop, all the edits are there. When I look through Photo Mechanic or upload them to the web, they aren't

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.
