Fujifilm RAF conversion to Adobe DNG images become "square pixel"? Any Idea?
I'am using Adobe DNG 8.3.0 on MacOS 10.6.8 to convert fujifilm XE2 RAF file to DNG, thus i can keep my RAW file and edit in LR, but the converted images show very obvious "square pixel"? what wrong? or the Adobe DNG not fully support Fujifilm latest RAF file yet?
Here is the sample of what i mean "square netted pixel":
Somewhere in the LR 4 series Adobe changed/improved how RAFs are converted. I think you’re using a really old LR without having set your DNG Compatibility options to old enough—something older than the default of ACR 7.1.
The pattern you’re seeing is from the old LR that expects the DNG Converter to have filled in all the extra pixels whereas the DNG Converter is using a new compatibility mode that tells it that LR can handle filling in the pixels itself.

Adobe DNG Converter can't recognize any files
Hi All!
I'm new here and would very much appreciate help.
I am running a Mac OS X 10.04.11 and would like to open .CR2 files (native file from my Canon 500D) in PS4 / Bridge CS4. My problem is that although I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 5.1 update as described here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4057, the DNG Converter can't recognise any files at all (they are greyed-out when I go to select any folder). I also followed these steps from the aforementioned link (well at least I hope I did it right, I found the reference to step 4 slightly confusing):
To install with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4:
Automated installation on Mac or Windows®:
1. Select "Updates..." from the Help menu
2. Follow the on-screen dialogs to download and install the latest available Camera Raw update
Manual installation on Mac:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the Finder.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
Is that version the right one for CS4?
Only Finder and the Canon Software can preview my .CR2 files, Photoshop still gives the message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file." and Bridge only shows me a generic RAW thumbnail. This message also appears in PS when I double-click on the Camera-RAW.plugin. I also restarted my computer, but that didn't fix it.
Can anyone help me out please? I'd urgently need a solution.
Thanks in advance!I now uninstalled the older 5.1 version and instead installed the DNG Converter 6.3 separately and it works perfectly.
About the Camera Raw 5.6 update: I also downloaded the plug-in (which I think should be the last version CS4 supports) and can now open my .CR2 files in PS, Bridge previews them too. :-)
Is it advisable to keep both, .CR2 as well as .DNG files? Why is it that my .DNG files are lighter than the native .CR2?
Thanks again! -
Telephone Numbers in Mobile/Tablet view become transparent? Any Idea why?
I'm creating the mobile and tablet version of a site and I've notice the telephone number on the mobile version has become transparent. In the design it is clearly black text. I uploaded the design to the live site and it goes white out (on a white browser fill) yet the text is there because I can still touch the number and the iPhone's call option pops up.
Any ideas why this is happening?The text is changing to a link automatically on a phone and tablet. Thats normal.
Go into site settings and create a new link style and set it to something other than your background color. And then apply the style to the text. -

Photoshop saves JPEG images much too dark--any ideas?
Hi there, I'm having an issue with my Photoshop applications and I was hoping someone could give me a little insight/help in fixing the problem.
When working with a file in Photoshop (I am an artist, so I usually create my files from scratch rather than loading them from a camera), I can get the colors to appear as they should in the workspace. When I finish artwork, I make sure the colors are exactly as I want them, then save it as a JPEG file. However, if I open this JPEG file in any application--browsers, photo viewing programs--it is extremely dark and saturated. If I open the JPEG in Photoshop, though, it looks fine. This issue seems to have occurred spontaneously 3-4 months ago. I don't recall changing or deleting any of my monitor or video card preferences, or my color profiles. I was working with Photoshop Elements 4.0 at the time, and it suddenly started happening.
Now, I have found a sort of work-around for it. If I screencap my workspace with the artwork open in it, then I can open up that screencap in Photoshop. The colors are much TOO bright and washed out when I do this, but if I crop the image so it's just the artwork and save it, then it displays in browsers and viewing programs more or less as it should, i.e. how I see it in Photoshop. However, if I open that JPEG in Photoshop, it will display much brighter than the original artwork.
It's not a desperate issue since I have this weird work-around, but I'm currently trying to save images for printing--which means they need to be very large, and I'm not keen on zooming to 100% and screen-capping the art piece by piece, then stitching it all together before saving it. I'd really like to get this issue resolved. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using outdated software (PSE 4.0), but I've just recently upgraded to CS5 Extended and the same issue prevails.
If it's any help, I'm working on an HP EliteBook 8740w, with Windows 7 and an NVIDIA Quadro video card.
Here are the things I've tried, which haven't worked:
Deleting Photoshop preferences/settings (in both PSE 4.0 and CS5)
Uninstalling and re-installing both programs
Re-calibrating my monitor
Changing color settings in Photoshop (files still end up dark regardless)
Disabling OpenGL Drawing
Switching between file types when saving
I am at my wit's end! I am mostly concerned that my clients and professors aren't going to see my work as it is intended to look, when they view it online. The erratic behavior of too-dark or too-light, and my pictures seemingly never displaying correctly on any browser or in any program, has me a little paranoid about my online portfolio, haha. I'm applying for an art scholarship in a month, and if none of my work will save correctly (much less print correctly!) then it will be a sad day indeed!
As I said before, this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere. My artwork from before the whole saving-too-dark issue began still displays perfectly in most programs, but the rest is totally hit-and-miss. If any of you have fixes or suggestions (even suggestions on adjusting Photoshop so that my images display more consistently in browsers and other programs) I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks so much for your time,
-JennaThough you have solved your problem, be aware, that different applications have different ways to interpret color profiles that can be set in different ways.
Example:
In Firefox, you can either set a color profile or not -- AFAIK, it only works with v2 ICC profiles (vs. v4, v3 seems to have not been released).
From that point, you can set perceptual, absolute, colormetric, or one other...(forget)... but usually you just set that to perceptual for monitor work as I understand it. Then a 3rd FF setting (all in its registry, of course, though occasionally there are extensions that let you manage the three settings. They correspond to values (accessible through 'about:config' in FF's address window), all under the prefix:
"gfx.color_management."
"display_profile" - text string of file containing a v2 ICC profile, usually in "C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\" (at least on Win7) -- extention ".icm"
"mode" -- when to turn it on (2=for pics that have profiles set, another is for always (1?)), maybe 0=off?
"rendering_intent" - this corresponds to perceptual, abs, colormetric, types, I think 0=perceptual (default)
for FF, if you google one of those values, you'll find more info on some mozillian-type site... "prefix<keyname>" (e.g. - gfx.color_management.display_profile ).
Other progs may have their own or if we are lucky would use the system profile & color management system (assuming it is any good).
Getting an accurate monitor profile and keeping it updated as your monitor 'decays' (i.e. color is usually best when new, then they decay, w/useful life at max gamut ~ 18 months (in my experience), after that, you can still retune to the same white point, but with a loss of gamut due to the phosphors decaying at different rates).
It's best to use some sort of external calibration HW... -- as an external device looking at your monitor through it's various colors is the only way to get a 'digitally objective' measurement. That said, I always have concerns about the stability of the measuring device over time. Does it have components that that could cause non-linear measurement? Am guessing not as likely, as it isn't emitting anything so less wear & tear, but I wouldn't assume it's 100% accurate over time either (but certainly is better than one's own eye which can gradually adjust to just about anything). I had a viewsonic when I first got my current color device (a Spyder3), and it had gone from an original white point of 6500K down to 5700K -- and I had not noticed the difference (over 18-20 months)...
I could bring it back in range, but had lost gamut, and was a bit below the sRGB (consumer grade) standard (which is some fractional
value of the Adobe Photoshop or NTSC standards, which are similar in the size of their ranges, but slightly offset from each other).
The result of all this -- I never really know how my images will look on other monitors, but I try to tag them w/my current monitor profile, hoping that if they care about color, they'll have some SW on their end that can make sense of it...but given my own experience in how SW on the same system handles color differently, I wouldn't say they were 'high hopes'... ;-) -
Upgraded to v24; now Adobe Flash doesn't work. Any ideas?
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I recently upgraded to Firefox v24, and now Adobe Flash files won't play (screen/window is just blank - no error message). I first realized it when trying to play a Flash file on YouTube. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash (11.8.800.168) installed. I reinstalled Adobe Flash, and after the install, the little graphic that usually appears, never did; the little screen just remained blank. I went back to Firefox v23, and now the Flash files on YouTube play fine.
hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox 24 in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Latest Alert for Adobe Acrobat - Upgrade will not work, Any ideas???
Hi, When the issue with Acrobat first occured (ERROR MESSAGE: Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support), I did unistall and reinstall my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, once finished reinstalling, the error kept reappearing. I also jumped onto the Adobe website and download the latest upgrade to fix this problem (http://www.adobe.com/ap/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-04.html), but the problem keeps continuing.
Any thoughts or ideas will be much appreciated. I have tried every combination of tricks and reinstalls etc and cant get it too work at all.
SharmayneHi Micahel, thanks for getting back to me, just quickly (im not the very best with computers, but am ok), when you say to check the background processes, is that starting the task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) and clicking the processes tab to see if its running there? sorry, im just not too sure where to check for this.
thanks heaps, i appreciate the assistance.
Kind Regards

Reader XI has suddenly stopped loading any images in pdf's. Any idea why?
Reader XI has suddenly stopped loading any images in pdf's. Any idea why?
I tried to got to edit to follow the suggestion of ~graffiti I found that the "Show Large Images" was already checked. I since have found that if I download the .pdf file and then open the download everything appears as it should. Previously, when I clicked on the emailed .pdf file it would automatically open without having to download the file. I'm not sure why it is requiring the extra steps of downloading the and then opening the downloaded file before the images with appear. Any ideas why the extra steps are now required?

Shooting in raw, I have always converted to dng the raw files of my successive Canon DSLRs upon importing in Lightroom. The dng files were roughly the same size of the orinal raw file and I was able to directly open these dng files in many applications on my Mac: Preview, iPhoto and Photsoshop CS4.
I recently bought a Fujifilm X-E1 and I was surprised to discover that
1. as the original raw files are always 26.1 Mb, the corresponding dng file is roughly the double (between 47 and 59 Mb);
2. even if the Mac and its native applications (Finder, Preview, iPhoto) recognize Fujifilm raf files, they don't recognize the converted dng files (on the contrary, Photoshop CS4, not surprisingly, doesn't recognize raf files but recognize the converted dng files).
So, even if I was convinced that converting to dng had some advantages, considering the above disadvantages about the conversion from the new raf files, I think I will use the raf files without converting them to dng.
What do you think of that? Do you have some further explanations?I have exactly the same issue!
For what it's worth, i found the way to fix it for new imports. (using LR5, by the way).
When importing the files, don't select embed raw data, and do not chose 1:1 previews. When I select standard previews, I in fact, get a smaller file than my RAF (from ~22 -> 18-16mb)
My problem now, is, how do I "RECONVERT" those 50-55mb DNGs using the above settings on 3000 photos I have already taken! I'd very much would like 80GB back!
Any ideas? -
How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images. I have had no problem with converting other images. and ACR will not recognize them either. Help!@
The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2. It is not clear where this name came from. I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed.
What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to. You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to? -
I cannot send dng images with the Adobe emailer?
I am unable to send my dng images as email attachments using the Adobe emailer. I get a message telling me that dng images cannot be converted? What do I need to do to send them using the Adobe email?
Thank you.

How do I open RAW images from DSC_RX100M3? I downloaded Adobe DNG converter 8.4, but could not convert the images?
Small correction to what SSprengel wrote...
The RX100M3 is supported only by version 8.5. It sounds like you need a newer version.

How do I prevent Adobe DNG Converter 7.4 from cutting image pixel count?
I converted 5D Mark III Raw files to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 7.4. When I import the DNGs into LR I noticed that the total pixel count has been significantly reduced. The original Raw images are 22 megapixels (5760 x 3840), the DNG files are 10.5 megapixels (3960 x 2460). I tried it without lossy compression, and with Lossy compression (making sure preserve pixel count was selected). Either way the image's pixel count is reduced. How do I avoid loosing half the image? Am I missing something?
Simplistically,
The image is captured with the full sensor data and then is downsampled during in-camera processing to create a smaller version that retains the Raw bit-depth. That resultant file is saved on the camera's memory card. So while all the MP of the camera were used, the output file is smaller in MP.
There are probably much better technical explanations for how that happens. http://dougkerr.net/Pumpkin/articles/sRaw.pdf Pages 6 and 7,
Mind you, I suspect this is what happened. You need to verify with your second shooter. The pixel dimensions match exactly with mRaw.
