Opening scanned dng files

I am new to RAW and DNG processing. I am use both film and digital.
I have CS2 and XPpro
Processing digital from my d200 is no problem using ACR plugin files open directly in Camera Raw.
However I scan my film on a Cannon FS4000US using Vuescan software which has the option to output to RAW in DNG format which I have recently tried. The DNG file is generated however when I open it, it opens directly in Camera Raw but as a negative, i can find no option in camer raw to invert it, i can therefore do very little processing in camera raw as i cannot see properly the result. I have to open it in CS2 and then invert it to see the positive.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Is there some particular reason to scan into DNG? I was a regular user of Vuescan until I switched from my FM2 & FE2 to Olympus E, and I scanned from Supra to 16bit TIFs (ProphotoRGB) as positives, and short of the characteristics of scanning film, CS2 offered all the tools I would ever need.
holdays' cheerios :)

I'm considering buying CC LR/PS package. My camera is Sony a7 - raw ARW. I've been editing using PSE10 and ver 8.7 of the external Adobe DNG converter. Will I be able to open the DNG files in LR with the edits preserved? Will I be able to open the PSD files in LR with the edits preserved? Any import/catalog etc issues between PSE10 and LR?

Lightroom has no problem reading DNG files. Whether the edits you have done to the DNGs you have originally edited in Photoshop Elements 10 I'm not sure. ACR edits made to DNGs are saved in the DNG file itself, as apposed to a XMP sidecar file, so LR should see those edits. At the worst you will get an exclamation mark in the upper right hand corner of the imported DNGs and clicking on that exclamation mark you will get a dialog box asking you to either import settings from disk or overwrite settings. you would select import settings from disk.

Unable to open scanned pdf files today. Was able to before.

Today when attempting to open scanned pdf files which opened successfully yesterday, this message appears:
"Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."
As I mentioned this was not a problem yesterday. Suggestions? Thanks!

If you are trying to open a file in paint, why are you posting in the Adobe Reader forum. Paint is an MS product. Since you have a pdf file, try opening the file in Adobe Reader using the File->Open dialog box. That should work.

"foxit" took a notion to auto update - Adobe will no longer open scanned .bmp files

So, Foxit had apparently been installed on a users PC for some time. It decided to update itself over night? Anyway, the woman came in the next morning and Adobe Reader was no longer installed, assuming foxit had uninstalled it *so thankful*. Foxit would open the .bmp files and allow view as a pdf. Of course Adobe is what she was used to and needed.
So,
Re-installed Adobe reader XI
Scanned files would open normally from .bmp and give an option to "save as pdf" - (I'm not sure what she was able to open the files in (im assuming adobe))
After the Adobe re-install this will not work any more. I've taken the scanned .bmp file straight from the scanner and set it to .pdf and get error message " either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. could have been sent as email and has been decoded incorrectly"
Could this have anything to do with fox it changing something?
*I've set .bmp file association to default to reader*

I can't tell exactly what you have going there but Adobe Reader does not and never has opened .bmp files. So whatever you were using to open the bmp and save to pdf is what is having the problem here. That wouldn't be Adobe Reader but something else.

You can't just take a .bmp file and change the extension to .pdf. That is why Reader is giving you that error.
Assuming I understand what you are asking here...
Also, I would strongly suggest that the user disallow updates like that happening when she doesn't give permission first. Set an administrator password that has to be entered before the update. Not doing that is a recipe for disaster.

Why can I open THIS .dng file, but I can't open THAT .dng file?

I have one folder with .dng files that I can open in CS3 Camera RAW.
I have a second folder with .dng files, that says, "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file," when I try to open them.
Both folders where shot with the same Lumix LX-3 and passed through DNG converter.
What am I doing wrong?

Because of changes to the DNG spec over time, you must now choose what sort of backwards compatibility you need in the DNG Converter preferences...for Photoshop CS3, you need to select Camera Raw 4.6 as the ACR version. You should also be sure you've properly loaded Camera Raw 4.6 (the last version for CS3) .

Opening a DNG file locks PSCC and Bridge

Trying to open a DNG or a NEF file causes ACR to lock completely. The only way to quit is to Force Quit. I am a MAC user, Mavericks, long time PSCC user. This problem just occurred. It is not a plug-in conflict.

That is a new one for me to hear. Since ACR is a plug-in how can you state is is not a plug-in problem?

Preview can't open Adobe DNG files converted in snow leopard

I have been unable under Snow Leopard 10.6 to use either 5.4 or 5.5 adobe dng converter to convert Leica RWL files to DNG files that are readable by Preview or by Aperture. Adobe CS4 can read these DNG files, but then it can read the RWL raw files as well.
However, on my other mac using Leopard 10.5, the converted DNG files ARE readable by Preview and Aperture. Any thoughts or help?
thanks

The DNG converter is not a plug-in. You need the Camera Raw update. That may be your point of confusion.

Cannot open converted DNG files from Canon 6D in PSE11 [was: Canon files]

Why cant I open CR2 files in PSE 11?

What does it show when you go to:

My copy of PSE11 shows this:
The alternative is to upgrade your DNG converter to 8.1 by going to this link:

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Can't open DNG file

Hi all, I hope there's a simple fix. Using DNG 6.3 to convert Panasonic LX-5 (RW2) files. Conversion goes fine, but my ACR ver. 3.7 within CS2 doesn't "recognize the file type" I've set the DNG converter preferences back compatible to 2.4. What am I missing? Thanks

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, and I apologize. But you are trying to open the DNG files, correct? I don't have any other suggestions because I have never encountered the problem you are having. Are you sure you have ACR 3.7 installed correctly, and only once?

Unable to open DNG files in Photoshop CS3

i have tried pulling these onto the alias and opening from within photoshop, but always get the error message "photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
i looked into the DNG converter, but obviously that only converts things to DNG files.
any help is appreciated.
JB

Thanks for the comment -
I am on a Mac.
By alias I mean that I drag a file to the dashboard to launch it.
When I go to "file/open" from within Photoshop I can not see any DNG reference, nor will it allow me to open a DNG file. They all appear greyed out.
Attaching screen grabs.

Dng. files from LR to PS CC ok Can't open in Camera Raw?

I have LR 5.7 and can edit my dng. files in PS CC but I can only get Camera Filter not full camera raw w/ all the tools. I am a PC user, BTW.
How do I open full Camera raw for a dng. file?
Thanks, very frustrated.
Chris

Because it was edited in lightroom first, photoshop knows enough to bypass camera raw since the controls are identical. If you open the dng file using the normal way like any other format, then it would open in camera raw first.
Keep in mind if you already did any editing in lightroom, those edits needs to be saved to that dng file before you can do the above otherwise camera raw and photoshop will not see the edits you did.
To save a file in lightroom select the file in the library and use ctrl-s to save.
If you do the above, lightroom will not automatically see the changes done in camera raw or photoshop. In library view there will be an icon in the thumbnails corner. This appears when changes to the metadata do not match that of lightroom's database. Clicking the icon should provide a dialog box asking if you want to update lightroom or leave it unchanged.
If you do a folder full, you can sync that folder to update all of them. Keep in mind syncing overwrites your changes in lightroom so make sure that is what you want to do.
I personally try to make it a habit to save all the images from lightroom, just so I don't get any surprises when syncing. There is an icon in the corner of those that need saving.

CS cannot open Leica M8 DNG files

Photoshop CS 8.0.1.
Converter 4_3_1
After running the DNG Converter CS cannot open the DNG- files.
I'm getting an error message that says:
"Cannot open.......because it is the wrong type of file?"
Who knows the solution of my problem.
Kees (from Holland)

My Camera Raw version is 2.0. and that was the cause.
After downloading and installing Version 2.4 the problem had been solved.
And indeed, the DND converter is unnecessary.
Jeff en PEC, thank you warmly for your suggestions.
Now I am a happy Photoshopper.

Cannot open Dng files

Hi!
I'm trying to write a script which opens .dng files and then after a few changes, saves them as .jpeg.
I'm working with CS2.
I've tried using open with "RawFormatOpenOptions". If I do not initialize the fields inside this struct, it says it misses some values, and If I choose the values manually (I've selected the same values as the ones that appear when I open the image manually) It gives me an error which says "cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect".
How can I open these .dng files? I do not know which parameters I need to fill in the options so that I'll be able to open the files.

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!
