Lightroom 5.3 changed raw files to dng without asking

with my lightroom 5.3 update the imported raw files are arbitrarily changed to dng. None of my other programs can see these files including windows explorer. I am using windows 7/64. Not noticing this change imediately I cleared my memory card. No I have no original files of my last 2 imports. How does this get changed back?

I found out how to switch it back to "Copy Only "from "Copy to DNG" Why can windows not see Them as othere images? If there is a codec for this then it sould be included in the installation?

  • Embed original RAW file in DNG?

    Is there any way to set the DNG conversion in Lightroom to embed the orginal RAW file upon import (similar to how it works in the DNG converter program that is put out by Adobe)? It appears that the Lightroom DNG converter will only convert the RAW file to DNG without embedding the original...any suggestions or comments??? Thank you in advance.

    Maybe I've misunderstood the question or else I'm missing something here.
    I have Adobe's standalone DNG converter on my Desktop which I used to use previously, and yes, there is an option of embedding the original RAW file which I chose to use. At the end of the day this process produced on file - the dng - and buried within it was the original RAW.
    I had reservations about LR's convert to dng process in the beginning but am now beginning to see the advantages of it. When I convert my RAW file to dng I now get 2 files in the original image folder - one being the ORIGINAL Raw image, the second the dng conversion. So now I have the best of two worlds, and although it takes up more HD than previous I'm beginning to like it this way. Some posts on this issue seem to imply that in the conversion to dng process the original Raw is somehow being lost and this quite simply isn't the case.

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

  • Do I need to keep my xmp files after converting my raw files to dng?

    I originally set up Lr to automatically build xmp files.  Recently, I decided to go with dng files and have converted all my raw files to dng.  Can I now delete all my xmp files and change my Lr setting so xmp files are no longer automatically produced?

    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I think I've got this straight.  My goal is to keep the xmp data with the image file (embedded into the file in the case of dng files) as well as in the Lr catalog.  I still need to auto (or manually) save xmp files in order for Lr to save the xmp data internally to the dng file.  Right?
    Perfectly right.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I've been converting to dng after I have done my initial Lr processing of the raw files and the sidecar files have already been produced.  When I convert to dng, the side car files aren't automatically deleted.
    I *think* if you say: do not delete previous raw, it keeps both xmp and original raw files. However, if you say: delete original raws upon conversion, it will delete both raw files and xmp sidecars. In other words, they are treated as a unit. So I suspect your raw files are not being deleted either, right? Note: if this is the case, then whenever you sync your folders, it's gonna wanna pull in all the original raws again. If it were me, rather than deleteing the xmp and leaving the sibling raws, I'd move both to a backup.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I wonder if the sidecar files would ever be produced if I imported with the option to convert to dng and then wouldn't ever be editting the raw files?
    They would not. If you know you are going to prefer DNG, it seems prudent to convert upon import.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I know the sidecar files are relatively small, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to go back and delete them once the xmp data is embeded in the dng files.  Right?
    Right again - delete away...
    UPDATE: I didn't see AR's previous post when I wrote this, sorry for redundancy.

  • 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.

  • I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600. Lightroom gives no picture.

    I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600.  Lightroom gives no picture.

    How long have you waited?
    When I connect my D600 via USB and import in Lr it takes a long time before the image thumbnails are displayed in the Import Dialog.
    I know that using a card reader would probably be much faster (you gotta try that!).
    In the meantime I just do something else for 5-7 min (read e-mail, get a cup of coffee) and thereafter the thumbnails are displayed and import is straightforward.
    And I do have a powerful and fast system.
    So, somehow Lr and the D600 are slow to begin "talking" to each other.

  • Unable to covert raw files to dng?

    using photo cs 3 ,unable to convert raw files to dng?

    Make sure you have the latest version of ACR for CS3 installed. I seem to remember it was something like ACR 4.6.  Check and see if it can save DGN conversions. I don't use DNG format for its not as well supported as manufactures raw formats.
    You can always download the latest DNG converter or a version 4 DNG converter http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows

  • Question about converting my RAW files to DNG

    I've shot with Nikon, Olympus, and Panasonic so I'm familiar with all their proprietary RAW formats that each uses. I'd like to convert all my RAW files to DNG and then use that on import into LR going forward. I noticed that the DNG files from the Panasonic or Olympus images don't display a thumbnail in my finder folders (Mac OS X) so I tried some experiments.
    I used the "convert to DNG" function in LR for some RAW files from each of the 3 cameras. Only the images taken with the Nikon D5300 show a thumbnail image in my finder folder. The Oly and Panny shots only display the DNG icon. Next I used the "export to DNG" function thinking that might make the thumbnail available but it was just the same. I would like to be able to see the images in my finder folders and also be able to open them to view in "preview" but only the Nikon converted DNGs will open in preview and not the Panny or Oly DNGs. Am I doing something wrong in the preferences? I've attached a screen shot of my preferences settings for DNG in LR and the thumbs that I'm seeing in my finder folders.
    These are the settings I have set in preferences in LR
    This is my Nikon NEF image converted to DNG    and my Panasonic RAW image converted to DNG (same thing happens with Olympus ORF files)  

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • 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.

  • Is there any way to get lightroom 4 to recognise raw files from my 7d Mark 2?

    I have been searching on here for a few days now, but can't seem to get my head around the answers I got a new 7D mark 2 a few weeks ago.  When I first came to download my pictures from the card I was only marginally surprised they were unreadable - I'd forgotten to format the memory card to the camera.  No big deal, I thought, merrily deleting the photos Lightroom couldn't read and formatting the card.  But now that I have formatted the card, I am kindof upset that Lightroom still cannot read the files at all.  I have downloaded the DNG converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not being read at all, how am I supposed to convert them?
    What am I supposed to do? I can see the photos on the camera itself - I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover myself, but this time Lightroom isn't reading either format.  If I shoot purely in JPEG I can download them without problem, but together (jpeg and raw) I can't see either.
    Tech wise I have a hp laptop, 4GB RAM, 2tb hd (separate), Windows 7 64-bit os, Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 12.
    Help me please?
    Thanks 

    I have downloaded the DNG converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not being read at all, how am I supposed to convert them?
    You use the DNG converter (version 8.7 or later) to convert the RAW to DNG. This is a separate step, outside of Lightroom, before you import. Then th DNGs will be import-able into Lightroom 4.
    I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover myself, but this time Lightroom isn't reading either format.
    If your card has both JPG and RAW, Lightroom isn't reading the JPGs? Could you give us the error message or describe what is happening? Also make sure that the option to treat JPG next to RAW as separate photos is checked. Lightroom Help | Set import preferences

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 3 Corrupting .CR2 RAW files on import

    I have never used RAW files before yesterday.  About to shoot a wedding in a couple days so desperately need a fix or at least some advice for a workaround. 
    Here's my hardware list:
    Canon 7D
    SanDisk Ultra II 2 & 4 GB CF cards
    Windows 7 64x
    Internal card reader, not some flimsy USB thing
    Lightroom 3
    Problem:
    After importing .CR2 RAW files using Lightroom 3, not Bridge, I found that some (not all) of the images appear to be corrupted.  On the camera they look fine. 
    For a short moment, in Lightroom, they look fine, but then after clicking the thumbnail they instantly develop strange corruptions, like pink/yellow/opaque static. 
    This is not one of my photos, but the corrupted image looks just like this: http://thekuipers.org/images/IMG_2279.jpg
    Used some advice and downloaded Fast Picture Viewer, which allows me to view the .CR2s in the folder I imported to, and MOST of them look fine now.  Reimported to LR and now only like 8 of 200 images are corrupted.  They still export to .jpg as corrupted.
    I had formatted my CF cards immediately after importing, only to find the corruptions after.  Using Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery to try to reimport manually the residual data from CF cards.  Will know if that works soon.

    From previous posts on this forum there are several things that can cause this type of corruption on import; faulty, CF cards, card reader, cable, and RAM.
    On my system it turned out to be faulty ram. Since changing my ram I have not experienced any further problems.
