Jpg and DNG brightness problem - CS2!

I am using CS2 with camera raw plug-in 3.7
I am running Windows XP SP3.
I open a DNG file. I do NOT do any processing whatsoever!
I just immediately save it as a JPG file at maximum quality.
However, when I view the two files with the Irfanview picture browser, the JPG seems to be washed out compared to the DNG!
Can anyone explain this?

The underlying problem that many people have trouble coming to grips with is
variants of:
'Why does my RAW image look different from the
1) JPEG
2) in camera Preview
3) manufacturer's version
4) etc...?'.
The question is simple but the answer is not. The answer touches on color space,
white balance, default Camera RAW settings and processing, camera profiles,
etc... Many of the threads here go into really good depth in examining each of
these topics but I don't recall seeing anything that approaches a comprehensive
answer, especially since we now have the DNG Profile Editor.

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.

Display and keyboard brightness problems.

Hi all, I'm having some rather annoying problems with my display and keyboard brightness on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2008). Both the display and keyboard pulse between as dim as they can get without going black and as bright as they can get at least once a day and eventually settle at the brightest possible setting. I cannot lower the brightness level once this has settled without the pulsing starting over again. I currently have the auto adjust brightness on for both, because whenever I try to turn it off to try and stop any adjustments other than manual the pulsing gets exponentially worse. We're talking full-blown spastic fit (faster and much longer lasting dim to bright pulsing as well as flickering of the display). Any help here would be greatly appreciated, because I'm out of ideas at this point. Thanks

Ok, so after giving the backlights a thorough test last night and this morning, they are still squirrely. After resetting the SMC the pulsing is definitely not as bad and the flickering seems to have stopped, but the pulsing is still there and still far worse when the auto-adjust is turned off. Maybe I'll just have to deal with it. It is much better than it was and at least it's settling to the dimmest point rather than the brightest point now.

Importing jpg and dng pairs-

With my M8 set for dng+jpg I canot find the jpg's after import. If I try to import from the file (which shows the jpg's to be present) LR tells me that the dng's are already there and does nothing. When I open the card it also shows the jpg's to be present. Can anyone enlighten me?

As you state there have been multiple threads on this since I have been using beta 3. I came across this situation when I was trying to compare how LR raw conversion compared with in camera JPG's. When I first tried to import both files into LR only the raw file was imported. I then separately imported the JPG file into the same folder.
What happened was that LR treated both files as if they were one which ment that LR was not able to distinguish the different extension. This resulted in any edits you made in the develop module with the raw file were also applied to the JPG when it was opened in LR and vice versa. Talk about confusion in trying to compare!!
I reported to Adobe as a bug but the reply came back that it was not considered a bug but it was how the program was designed and I would have to make a name change to one of the files or move the JPG's to a different folder.
I think Adobe should post this in the FAQ thread.

Keyword and IPTC Syncronisation of 13.000 jpg and dng pictures

I have one catalogue with 13.ooo DNG pictures. In this catalogue I put 13.ooo JPG pictures with the same file name. Difference of cause .dng and .jpg As all JPG pictures have all IPTC informations and keywords too, I want to import these informations to the DNG files. Up to now I click one jpg picture at the time, synchronize IPTC Datas with the corresponding dng. Then copy keywords and paste them into dng. 13.ooo pictures. Is there any simple method to do this job? Thanks a lot.

Not sure why this is happening this way but may be closing PSE processes which access and work upon files in the background might make a difference.
Please launch Organizer and click Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis and turn off all checkboxes.
From the task manager, kill the following exes if running-
ElementsAutoAnalyzer
Adobe Photoshop File Agent
Dynamic Link Manager
repeat your workflow and check if the issue still happens.
Thanks

Ideapad Z500 Touch Win 10 Brightness Problem

Hello,
the Z500 Touch has/had the problem with the regulation of the brightness with Win 8.1, but reinstalling the intel video driver solved this problem.
Now - with Win 10 - I have got the same problem, but reinstalling the (intel) drivers doesn't help. I just can't regulate the brightness: The brightness sticks at the lowest level.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?
Peter

I'll try that. [Edit: Doesn't work for my Z500 touch. I copied those files but it didn't help. In addition, I'm not ableto reinstall the Win 8.1 Intel Video driver, because Windows 10 tells me the Realtek bluetooth or something like that program doesn't run with Win 10 :/] I've got another solution: Just set the driver of the on-board graphics to the previous version and the brightness problem is solved, but because of me having a graphics 4000 the performance with this "trivial" driver is just bad so that it's just a workaround.

New adobe DNG converter and CS4 quality problems - EOS 7D

Hi,
A friend of mine uses Adobe Photoshop CS2.
He plans to buy Canon EOS 7D or EOS 5D Mark II in the future but first we did some tests and conversions.
We found many problems and quality issues.
First Problem is that CS2 doesn't support Canon EOS 7D directly so user has to use DNG Converter to convert the EOS 7D file from .cr2 to a .dng.
When i use and test this, CS2 recognizes and opens .dng file correctly then i optimize sharpness, color etc etc in the photoshop and save the file from the file menu (Save AS) as .jpg file.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 fails to save exif data.
It just saves the camera model nothing else.
On the other hand if i use CS4 it saves all exif data (without dng):
The next problem is quality.
If i use indentical settings in RAW converted between CS2 (dng) and CS4 (cr2) CS2 images look sharper and have more "per pixel sharpness" than CS4 raw images.
Here's a sample (raw file taken from dpreview.com) that i tested it using both raw converters:
So these are two problems that i don't like nor does my friend and i am asking you if you would fix that and why such hudge difference ?
As the CS4 is being the newest the best of all photoshop it should had better picture but in this case the older version has better picture and i don't see any logic in that.
So if user wants to go for better quality he/she will pick CS2 but have a disadvantage - Exif is not saved in the .jpg file.
I also think that if dpreview would have used CS2 instead of CS4 they would get much higher "per pixel sharpness" from Canon EOS 7D as they did now.
Thanks.

You can't use the exact same settings since the settings in ACR 3.x (Photoshop CS2) don't match up to ACR 5.x (Photoshop CS4).
Seriously, there was a major change in ACR 4 and then 5 that make comparing ACR 3.x and 5.x pretty pointless...
Fact is if you aren't getting optimal results from Camera Raw 5.x then you don't know how to use it...simple as that.
ACR 3.x had a very crude image sharpening process compared to either ACR 4.1 and above of any 5.x version.
Seriously, Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.x is way old tech...if you can't get better IQ from 5.x you are doing something wrong.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

I upgraded to 10.10.1 today and the brightness dimmed on my mac monitor - I've checked both display and accessability and dont see a problem. My second monitor which is not a mac monitor is bright still.

JPG. and video aspect ration problems

Hi all, I am officially freaking out! I do an annual year-end photo/video montage for a local kindergarten. Every year it is the same. I scan a few hundred pictures and lay music under them. Intermixed within them, I have a video interview shot of each child answering some things about their year. I shot with a Canon GL-2 in 16:9. I import everything into FCE and assemble, no problems, simple enough. This year, I have a problem with the aspect ration. The videos look fine, but all of the scanned pictures are distorted. They all look too tall and skinny. I've tried changing the selection when I export into iDVD and selected both 16:9 and when that didn't help, I tried 4:3. Still the same. Videos looked accurate and the .JPG's are still distorted. I looked at the "distort" tab under the motion tab and on the videos it is -33.33 and on the .JPG's it is 18.52. So far, my solution has been to go in to the Motion tab, then the distort tab and paste in the -33.33 and then adjust the picture in the canvas to look accurate. I've set some in-points and out-points and exported it and then imported into iDVD. All looks fine. My question is what went wrong this year. I've never had to do this in the past. My only thought is that maybe in the past, I've not shot their interviews with the 16:9 set in the camera. Now, unless someone can rescue me, I have to manually change each of the 300+ pictures manually. Is this my only option to fix things at this point? Also, how do I not repeat this error in the future?
Thanks for your usual terrific help and replies!
cheers,
Jack

If you Copy the Attributes of a correct photo you can Paste Attributes to others or all of them in one action.
Not sure why there is trouble, do you know the FCE Sequence settings?
FCE has a function that can set the sequence based on the first clip that hits the Timeline and would have selected an Anamorphic setting making the Media that would be ok in a 4:3 sequence look distorted.

Camera Raw 3.7 And DNG 3.7

Hi.
I use Photoshop Cs2 on my PC using Windows XP.
Yesterday I down loaded Adobe camera raw 3.7 and DNG 3.7.
Now I cannot open my raw files,I get a message saying it is not the right kind of file,also when I convert my raw files to DNG they come into the bridge as icons not thumb nails.
I wondered whether anyone can help me with this problem.
Many thanks.
John

> So I downloaded them all.
> I removed the unzipped file from the common folder plug-ins and put it in my documents folder on the desk top.
> I put the camera raw and dng plug-ins into the Adobe bridge plug-ins folder.
Hmmm ... my WinXP CS2 installation behaves differently. An update via the 'Help' menu does everything automatically ... no intermediate zip file, and no quessing where the ACR plug-in goes. That is, there's a specific location for it, and the Bridge plugins folder is
not it. But who am I to argue with ...
> After that everything worked.
cheerios :)

JPG to DNG mistake

I was messing around with importing fresh install of LR 1.1 and ended up converting jpg to DNG for some files. Other than they are much larger is their any other issues. If I export as JPG high quality will they be the same or should I go looking for backups, I have them but not organised as well as they should be ;-), hmm looks like some time issues depending on which of the families cameras was used, not sure if this is a LR issue or happened in the conversion as I see others having problems :-(

I personally like DNG for archiving and do convert jpeg to DNG.
I like the idea of having everything wrapped up in a dng container and never having to touch the jpegs again. Even accidentally rotating a jpeg will degrade the quality and if you intend to do further non-destructive editing in lightroom you will be continually adding to file metadata unless you have deselected that option in catalog preferences. Even then you will get a separate sidecar (XMP) file and DNG simply frees you from the worry of those ever getting separated from the parent file or deleted altogether.
Adobe continues to invest in the DNG format; so you can also take advantage of future developments. For example LR4 will introduce the option of fast load data for DNG’s which will make for greater editing efficiency.
As Paige says you will use more disk space, and a jpeg baked in camera will never be more than an 8 bit file, even within a DNG. So it’s a matter of personal choice.

Iphone 5 Ios 6.1.4 brightness problem

I have a problem with my iphone 5 running ios 6.1.4
Randomly, sometimes when pushing the home button, or pressing the power button, the brightness of the screen goes all the way down to zero (dimly lit).
I have to go in to settings and tap the brightness to get it to back to full.
(the slider bar shows maximum even if the screen is dark - auto brightness is set to off)
I've read many posts about calibrating , using auto-brightness etc., but I have auto-brightness set to OFF, and the brightness set to maximum. That is the way I like it.
So any ideas whats going on? How to fix the issue. I repeat - I do not want to use auto-brightness, I simply want the iphone brightness to be set to maximum, at all times.
Thanks
Mike

Your phone is inappropriately going into pre-autolock dimming. Try:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both power and home buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without a backup.
If #3 doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs warranty service.
