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?

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.

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.

How can I import DNG files into iPhoto 8?

Shooting with a Canon Rebel XT, I've downloaded RAW files onto my hard drive, edited them in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and saved them as digital negatives (DNG) with the .dng extension. Bridge and iPhoto work with these just fine, but iPhoto doesn't seem to want to import them.
Aside from saving them as jpegs or TIFFs, is there any way to get these files to play nice with iPhoto 8?

I'm having the same problem with iPhoto after editing my images in Bridge and converting the files to DNG before importing to iPhoto. The metadata on the DNG file will not show up in iPhoto when I import DNG files. Yet, if I convert the DNG files to JPEG and import the JPEG files into iPhoto all the metadata and keywords in the original DNG files is imported. I use Bridge and CS3 for editing but want to use iPhoto for asset management.

A DNG File Processed by an Earlier Version of ACR--How to Re-Process in ACR 8.4

I have thousands of DNG files processed by the ACR versions that came with CS4 and CS5. I was hoping to re-process some of them with the later ACR versions that came with CS6. But when I open a previously edited DNG file in ACR 8.4, it seems to revert to the earlier version in which the file was originally edited/processed. I made a duplicate of a file and reverted it to Default--sort of like restoring its virginity--but ACR 8.4 was not fooled; it still opened the earlier version. What to do???????

The earlier version of ACR was using a previous Process Version.
If you want the newer adjustment sliders, set your Process Version to 2012 on the Camera Calibration tab.

Xmp sidecar files- move/delete Bridge CS3

Hello
Anybody know a good way to hide the XMP files- or can they be moved to another folder? I don't suppose it is a good idea to delete these sidecar files
Is there a way for me to specify in Bridge CS3 that I do not want the .xmp files to be saved in the same folder as the images they are attached to?
How come .xmp files get saved for some of my tagged images and not others?
thanks

I suppose you could go ahead and make them all hidden files. But you're going to have to do that every time you start working on another new raw file. If you're going to work with raw images you might as well just get used to seeing them. Another alternative would be to use the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG files. Then you wouldn't have to worry about XMP files at all because all the metadata is stored within the DNG. But that's up to you.
Another thing to consider. If you hide all those sidecar files and then decide to move your images you will have to go through the process of making them all visible so that you can copy them. Personally, I don't think it's worth it.

Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3

I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd

I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
- If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
Is there something I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files

Aperture won't import DNG files: Panasonic Lumix FZ28

Well, i went to a seminar on aperture and got all excited to use it, downloaded the trial and discovered that it won't import my camera's RAW files (even though it came out 2 years ago and is supported in PhotoShop)
I've tried various way of creating DNG files with DNG Converter (the one that works with PS CS3) but Aperture doesn't recognize those, either. (linear, non linear etc) (Will the CS4 converter do the job?)
Is there anything else I should be trying? Have any of you had success with the same camera and what do you do?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Elizabeth

Yep, that's what I discovered and it's the whole problem with the RAW files, but what about DNG?
I thought converting to DNG might allow them to be accessed: so you're telling me that I'm out of luck and have to stick with PhotoShop?
That dng is not a universal format recognized by Aperture?
I appreciate your input

Cannot import mpg files into Premier Pro CS3

I've read the wiki and looked through the FAQs and did not find this issue, so here goes.
The file began life as an mp4 from a GoPro HD camera. It plays correctly in Apple's software, but will not import into Premier. Found the KB on
Error message "Unsupported format or damaged file" when you import MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS3 and changed the extension to MPG. This got me audio, but no video. The MPG plays correctly (audio and video) in Windows Media Player as well as in Bridge CS4.
Windows Vista 64-bit, 8 Gig RAM, Intel Q9300 Quad Core Processor, GeForce 9600 GT video card w/1Gig DDR3 RAM.
Any ideas?

PrPro is pretty well centered on pro formats. Many find that other NLE's, designed for consumer cameras and formats, work better and some natively. It's a tough call. I love the interface and workflow of PrPro, and use it 99% of the time. However, with heavily-compressed, delivery-only formats/CODEC's, some other NLE's work better - to start. I use those as converters, or do batch conversions with DigitalMedia converter, but it's shareware, and not freeware.
Some users want PrPro to embrace every possible CODEC and variation on each, with hourly updates, as mfgrs make changes, and others want it to only perform 100% with pro-formats and leave the consumer stuff totally alone - there is PrElements for that. Me? I just roll with the punches, and convert from X to Y, and edit in my chosen NLE. Kinda' the "Jimmy Buffett" of video editing.
Good luck,
Hunt

When importing MPEG files into Premiere Pro CS3 the audio sequence is missing.

We have two computers running Premiere Pro CS3. Our computer most recently installed with PPCS3 will only import an audio sequence with the MPEG video file when I extract the file directly from the DVD. When I take the video folder from the DVD and drag to my Desktop, importing to PP from the desktop, it will only import the video sequence; audio does not appear. What would cause this happen and how can I fix this? It's too time consuming to continuously use my DVD Extractor.

1st, that old program has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous

Olympus E-P1: Strange pattern in DNG files converted for Photoshop CS3

I converted some of my .ORF files to .DNG to use in Photoshop CS3 and there is some strange pattern appearing on overexposed parts of the picture.

Hi, Beat:
Thanks for your offer.
Here you are a link to _B101110.ORF from my E-P1 for anyone who wants to try.

No preview when I import DNG files from Leica M9

Hello,
A stange thing...when I import DNG from my Leica M9 direct from the APN card into Aperture I have no preview of the files I want to import...only the generic icon DNG.
If I import on a folder on the desktop and after I import in Aperture no problem.
Do you have the same problem ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

WAV files in iTunes don't have ID3 tags like you want.
Here's a wiki on it

Short answer, I don't think you can do this with iTunes.
You can suggest it through the feedback links.

Cant import .dng files

When I direct aperture to a folder on my hard drive, where I have imported some .fff and .dng files the files are unseen, even tho you can see them in the finder, just not in the import window in aperture???

In your reply you wrote that you has it set to JPG. You didn't say you had tried both nor did you tell us how experienced you are.
Here's a screen shot showing that if the the RAW+JPG type is set to RAW or Both DNG's are see in the import window.

Importing DNG files to Aperture 2.1.4

Hi,
I am very new to RAW image files and using aperture. I want to be able to take RAW image pictures and make use of them on aperture and so I have added CHDK on my canon ixus70. I know this topic has come up before but I can't seem to add to those.
Problem I am having is that once the pictures have been taken Aperture doesn't seem to support them. I have tried to convert the .CRW files using dng4ps2 which creates .DNG files (these were blank black files in aperture) and then converted those using adobe dng converter (these imported, but then said that they are unsupported by aperture).
I want to use Aperture as it has been the most recommended photography software, unless experts here can state otherwise.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
S

I had a similar problem with my Canon SD1100 IS. I was converting the .CRW file to .DNG using DNG4PS2, compiled on Snow Leopard, then converting to Adobe DNG with Adobe's DNG converter. By generating the .DNG file right on the camera, as described here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/canonpowershots5is/discuss/72157610078065768
I was able to use the newest version of Adobe's DNG converter on the camera's DNG files and then import into Aperture. An older version of the DNG converter did not work. You will need to run a program on windows to generate a badpixel file per the instructions. Hopefully this works for you.

Leica M9 and Aperture3 not showing camera aperture setting when import DNG files. Shutter speed and ISO are indicated, but not aperture. When I export and open in Adobe Camera Raw aperture setting is displayed.

Does any one have a suggestion as to how to get A3 to show the camera aperture setting on Leica M9 DNG files?

You will want to read this thread in its entirety.
The short story (as I understand it) is that the M9 body receives no information about aperture from attached lenses. It is able to derive an estimate of the aperture, though, and it lists this derived number in the metadata field "Approximate F-stop" (not the exact field name). Aperture (the program) does not report the contents of this proprietary field.

Cannot import dng files. why?

I've downloaded a collection of terxtures in .dng format which is not seen by LR. any idea why?

Normally, dng files come from a camera or a utility designed to produce DNG files from camera RAW originals.
I am not aware of texture files coming in dng format. Are you sure they are dng? Could they possibly be png?
png files are not supported by Lightroom.
