Filter in adobe bridge to only select Raw files for DNG conversion

Here's my problem - I have a new DMC TZ70 camera and Lightroom 5.7 doesn't recognise the .RW2 files. I would need to buy LR6! Perhaps later.
So I thought I will import via bridge and convert to DNG.
So I open bridge and select the camera - fine - BUT there are files for the Raw images, the same number of JPEGs and some .bdm, .TDT etc files. (e.g. 3 raw + 7 others).
I can set up a filter to view only the Raw files when I see what files are there in the card folder in Bridge but when I select "get photos from camera" I can either select them all OR deselect and then I need to MANUALLY select the raw files. There doesn't seem to be a way of setting up a filter in the Downloader screen so that Bridge only selects the Raw files for conversion.
If I let it select all, Bridge converts the RW2 files to DNG but also brings in the jpgs and other files. I can delete these afterwards but this seems an inefficient way to do it.
Is there any way to manually select the raw files in the photo downloader screen?
Advice please, thanks, Mel

Not sure I follow completely, Mel, but Bridge allows you to View > Sort > Type... which would allow you, after sorting, to click on the first image with a specific extension, then hold down the Shift key to select the last in the series and handle them independent of the other files presented.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

PSE 8 compatibility with Adobe Bridge CS 5 Camera Raw

I have Photoshop Elements 8 installed with Camera Raw 5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit platform. I recently purchased Photoshop CS 5 which came with Camera Raw 6.2. I think both products work well independently, with the exception noted at the end of this posting. Where I'm encountering an issue is when I use Adobe Bridge to access an image file for processing which invokes Camera Raw 6.2. -- the changes made to the file show up in Adobe Bridge, but are not observable when the same file is viewed in the Photoshop Elements Organizer. When I look at the file properties I can see that Camera Raw 6.2 updated the file and the updated date does appear in the file properties accessible through PS Elements Organizer. However, the items listed in the Camera Raw metadata are different in the two products (PS vs PSE). Since the sidecar .xmp files are a form of XML, I'm wondering if Camera Raw 6.2 is writing data in a structure that is not supported by Camera Raw 5.5? I've tried to update PSE Camera Raw to version 6.2 following the instruction that appear on line, but it does not seem to install. Durring installation there are no error messages, but after the "installation" PSE Camera Raw still shows version 5.5. I noticed this first when editing a large number of "legacy" .jpg files, but I also have concern when editing Nikon .nef files.
It's a bit hard to tell, but when editing .nef files in Camera Raw 6.2 the changes may migrate to PSE once I tell PSE to update the thumbnail view. But what I observed was a very distinct differece in file's visual appeared when viewed in Adobe Bride CS5 vs PSE 8 Organizer. The PSE 8 images had greater color saturation. This leaves me wondering what's going on.

On my Windows 7 64 bit system the original version of Camera Raw.8bi was found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements8\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,781 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties listed the size as (12,063,088 bytes). The digital signature was signed Thursday, September 03, 2009 3:34:37 PM. To the best of my knowledge this is the version that shipped on the PSE 8 disk which I installed in December 2009.
There is another copy of Camera Raw.8bi found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,856 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (12,140,496 bytes). The digital signature was signed Friday, August 20, 2010 3:30:03 AM. This date post dates the installation of Photoshop CS 5 on my system so it must have happened through some (automatic?) update.
The Camera Raw.8bi file that I've down loaded from Adobe for ACR 6.2 is the same size and has the same signing date as the one identified immediately above in the CS5\File Formats\ sub folder.
When I copy the down loaded file into the Elements8\File Formats\ sub folder PSE still indicates that ACR is version 5.5
I also have a copy of ACR in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ with a length of 14,526 KB shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (14,874,576 bytes) and the signing date as Friday, August 20, 2010 10:39:07 AM. I presume this to be the copy of ACR used by Adobe Bridge and Photoshop which I installed as a 64-bit application. Since the signing date (but not the time) is the same as the date for the file in CS5\File Formats\ I'm guessing that it is also the result of an automatic update to version 6.2.
Something that's not making sense to me is that the down load was approximately 50 MB and I'm messing around manually moving a 12 MB file into a specific sub folder.

How do I get CS5 Bridge/Photoshp to handle RAW files from my D800E?

How do I get CS5 Bridge/Photoshop to handle RAW files from my D~800E?

There are many who would say, based only on empiric data (boo) and not opinion (yay), that the most accurate raw conversions would be obtained using the Nikon software and not secondary processors like the Adobe converter. The DNG process makes irreversible changes to the raw data which may or may not matter but the DNG is not the same as the original raw file.
You can do the experiment yourself, for FREE, and compare different methods of raw conversion. You may be surprised at what you see. You have to be because different converters tune to different image characteristics. Don't be taken in about claims Adobe makes for its convertor without proving them to yourself. Adobe has made deliberate pre-set choices for its converter and they may not be the best for you. Or they may be, as we have all become so used to what Adobe chooses we think we chose it ourselves.
If I were able to afford, and had the energy to lug around a D800e, I might not want to compromise the image quality I just shelled out such massive bucks to obtain using the Adobe converter without proving that was the best option for me, but I don't do it for a living. Also, if you can shell out for a D800e and are enamored of the Adobe Converter realize it only costs $10/month for a CC subscription, possibly tax deductible, and you can still retain your older version of PS. The CC version of PS allows use of the ACR as a filter layer, if you are fond of the converter tools (which are much improved in the latest version).

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii? Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

What Mark III?
Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

Does Bridge support Nikon P7000 raw files in CS5?

I have Photoshop CS5 with the latest ACR installed. ACR opens the Nikon P7000 NWR raw files just fine, but Bridge doesn;'t seem to recognize them. I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well. I did an update in Bridge and it said it was the latest version, so I believe it. Does the latest Bridge support Nikon P7000 raw files?

[email protected] wrote:
Any idea why ACR is working fine with the P7000 raw images and Bridge doesn't recognize them?
If you tried to browse the P7000 files before updating Camera Raw you may need to purge the cache for that folder. In Bridge select Tool, Cache, Purge Cache for "xxxx" folder. (xxxx being the folder you are trying to browse).

Only Select RGB Files?

I am creating a script to only select RGB Files. I am having problems with the Array because affter I am done its empty.
I was hoping to make a list of RGB files and then select them, But I have not been able to create a list yet.
#target bridge
app.document.deselectAll();
var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("jpg");
for(var a in thumbs){
var RGBlist=[];
var poop=app.document.select(app.document.thumbnail.children[a]) ;
var isRGB=app.document.selections[0].core.quickMetadata.colorMode;
var picSelect=app.document.selections[0];
if(isRGB==3){
    RGBlist.push(picSelect.name);
var noSelect=app.document.deselect(app.document.thumbnail.children[a]);
alert(RGBlist);
Any Ideas?

The core data returns an integer value not a string… 3 being RGB.
#target bridge
app.document.deselectAll();
var count = app.document.visibleThumbnailsLength;
for ( var i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
    if ( app.document.visibleThumbnails[i].core.quickMetadata.colorMode == 3 ) {

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

Read raw files for nikon d5200 camera

I have given up using raw files for several Nikon bodies such as the d5200 on Adobe software since Adobe no longer supports these files even with the updates that are supposed to support these files. I can open the raw files fine using Nikon software to work on them and then save them as a tiff or jpeg to be used in photoshop, but this seems rather time consuming plus I lose the advantage of working on raw files in Photoshop. You would think that a company like Adobe would make it easy to open raw files for all cameras. Some bodies like the Nikon d300 raw files still work fine on Adobe software.

ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) versions are specific to different versions of Photoshop.
According to this link on Adobe's website regarding supported cameras
The Nikon 5200 required at least ACR 7.3, but you need Photoshop CS6 to run ACR 7.3 It won't work with older versions of Photoshop.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You can download the latest version of DNG Converter and convert your 5200 files to DNGs that can then be opened in earlier versions of Photoshop.
Here is the link for Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
Here is the link for Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
The DNG Converter only works on folders of files, don't try to select an individual file to convert, Choose the FOLDER.

Panasonic GX1, raw-file to dng

This camera is supposedly supported in the latest release of Adobe DNG Converter.
I can't get it to work.
Most of the time the converter program hangs with 1 file left to convert.
If I only select a small number of files to convert it runs through all.
The problem is I can not view the converted dng-files.
Running Mac OS X Lion.
The files can not be viewed through preview or Aperture.
Has anybody been successful converting GX1-raw-files to DNG?

You understood correctly about how the DNG conversion works.
However, not all software reads all DNG.
For example, sometimes a software still internally checks whether it supports a given camera model and may refuse to process unrecognized models.
I will do some of my own testing later with these images and let you know what I find.

Importing, copyping raw files as DNG files - copy to location choice, and more ???

First:
When I copy raw files as DNG files, the right hand pane shows where the copies will be placed. (I use Windows 7) I do not have much of a choice, and cannot set a default. The default choice is "My Pictures" on the C: drive. I have an Solid State Drive, SSD, and do NOT store my photos on that small, 256Gb drive. I store my images on an internal hard drive.
All i want to do is set the default "Copy To" location to where I store my images. I would like to copy them to the original folder, in a separate folder (for example, LR DNG). Instead, I have to open the SSD, find the files, and copy them to my preferred location. This is very irritating.
Second:
Worst, it appears that the Copy function puts the copied images into multiple folders. I had 11 images from raw files that were put into three separate folders. That seems quite silly to me. It causes me to do more work opening the folders and copying them to the root folder. That is very irritating. What is going on here?
can these two issues be resolved? Thanks, in advance.

My apologies. I thought it would open the selected folder and reveal the images to be converted. That would be the most obvious thing to do, but it does not behave that way. I made a couple folders with test images, CR2 and RW2, and the converter converted them.
Again, the navigation was funky, inconvenient, but it works. i complain because we pay a lot of money to use Adobe products, they have huge resources, and they seem to release products that have obvious flaws, especially navigation. Maybe they just hate Microsoft. Sorry for the rant.
Thanks for getting me to use DNG converter.
