Preview and .dng issues

I've just converted ~1000 .crw files (from a Canon S45) to dng (using DNG Converter) and Preview posts an error when I try opening a converted dng:
"Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
In contrast Photoshop and iView Media Pro opens these converted DNG's without issue.
IS this a problem with Preview.app or the converted DNG files? I thought DNG was supposed to solve issues like this...

Thanks Terence for the replies. I've searched and read and can find no evidence that QT would ever be able to open a RAW file. In fact, when Apple releases support for new RAW files they update the OS, not the QT frameworks.
Then the answer is, if it's openable with QT, then it is. If QT cannot open it, then Preview can't.
I just tested this with my CR2 files--which come from a Canon 350D (Digital Rebel). QT can not open the CR2 file but Preview can.
I read on another board that the CRW files from my Canon S45 dont conform to some specification. I would assume the result of non-conformance means that these files cant be translated to DNG (and opened in Preview).
Of course if anyone else has any ideas I'd appreciate your input

Preview and DNG compatibility.

Dear members;
Yesterday I created my first DNG files as I plan to convert all my RAW images to this file system.
After I converted my RAW images using Adobe's DNG Converter, I tried to open a few different files but Preview just kept crashing. My camera is a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II and the RAW files created by this camera are approximately 17 MB in size. I don't have any problems with the RAW files themselves as I open them with preview without any problems.
Why isn't preview opening the DNG files ? Could it be a bug ? Although the RAW files are approximately 17 MB in size, the DNG generated from them are approximately 50 MB in size. Would the size be a problem ?
How can I solve this problem so that I can view my DNGs in preview ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Same problem with DNG files produced by Leica Digital-Modul-R and Leica M8. The "Digital Camera RAW Support 1.0.1" update doesn't change the problem. Apple announces "DNG File Format Support Open files in the new Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format." on the Tiger web site.
My files are OK with Adobe Photosop CS and Capture One LE.

PDF preview and display issue : NWDS CE 7.1 SP05+ALD 7.1

Hi All
I am creating a webdynpro java application in NWDS 7.1 SP 05. This application has an interactive form ui element. The livecycle designer version is 7.1 and reader versions tried are 8 and 9.
The issue is that the pdf preview in NWDS is blank and also I am getting blank white space instead of the form when i deploy the application on a browser.
I have used NWDS 7.1, SP05 + ALD 7.1 combination on another system and there i can see the form in NWDS pdf preview.
I am completely stuck, please let me know of any way out.
Thanks
Lisha

Hi,
Try to uninstall adobe life cycle designer and install it onceagain..
Even we faced some times this problem, but better to use higher version of adobe life cycle designer like 8.0 whiuch will be compatible to your NWDS version...
Hope this helps you in resolving the problem...

Saleem

I can't give a specific response, but if possible, upgrade to LCD 8.0 - it is much smoother to use than 7.1.
I almost pulled out all my hair working with 7.1

Captivate 4 previewing and publishing issues

I downloaded and installed Captivate 4 on my computer. I'm a
current user of Captivate 3. I imported one of my projects into
Captivate 4, but when I try to Preview or Publish the project
nothing happens.
When I published the project to HTML, it only created the
"standard.js", "ProjectName.htm" and "ProjectName.swf". I'm
wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue with Captivate 4
and how I can fix it.
BTW, I just checked, and this only happens with the project
that was created using Captivate 3.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

I had 8 files to convert. 4 worked fine and 4 did not, ie got the error msg above. 1 of those that didnt work did convert after retrying the process several times. As for the others this is what i did:
1. launch the cp3 file in cp4
2. when asked to save as new version do so, as a new name obv
3. cp4 will then ATTEMPT to convert the file and you will soon see the Application Error
4. close cp4 and launch the file you created in step 2
5. now cp4 will launch and coninue the process it ATTEMPTED in step 3, you will again be asked to convert the file. do so again. this time however it should FINISH the process for you.
6. cuss under your breath that cp4 should have done this for you in first place and you have lost hours of work.
7. then cuss again that cp4 doesnt have the drag and drop question type that includes option for images.
8. but then praise cp4 that it does however have the right-click functionality.
hope it works for you :-)
@_toll you are a genius. I've lost 5 hours worth of work trying to resolve the same issue. One more note to add to your instructions is that I found that (step 2) the message asking you to "Save As" pops up behind the Cp4 screen. So if you are stuck in "Reading Project" mode check to see if there is a pop-up message behind.
Uuuuuggggghhhh, Adobe why are you so hard to get along with?!?!

Previewing and sync issues

Hi guys, I'm pretty new at using premiere so pls forgive me!
I bought a computer for the sole purpose of creating 30 sec episode previews (for television shows) but i'm encountering some issues. When i'm looking at the footage to chose out clips, the first 20 mins app. plays fine but in the rest of it the audio and video goes out of sync! even when i take out a specific clip to use in a different sequence the clip remains out sync even when i render it out! Also when i'm previewing my 30 sec. creation the preview sticks and then catches up. I don't know if it is a case of improper settings or if i need to upgrade the hardware.
My specs are:
4GB of Ram
AMD Phenom 2.4ghz Quad-Core
256mb onboard video card
400 gb hardrive
Windows7 Ultimate 64-Bit
CS3 Premiere Pro
Any help is much appreciated!

I'm just trying to ensure that i don't go spending money wildly and then it turns out i don't need it, you know what i mean?
I had CS3 pro on my laptop and it never gave me that problem and my laptop specs were:
Dual Core 1.8ghz
160gb HD (only one)
32mb videocard
2ghz ram
Win Vista 32bit
Same footage, different computer...that's why i'm trying to figure out if it's a software/setting problem.Thanks for the help so far though.....any other thoughts?

Preview and PDF issues

Hi everyone,
I have a PDF that has some pages which are portrait, and some which are landscape. When I print it using preview, all pages are printed in portrait mode. When I print it using Adobe, it prints correctly (portrait pages print in portrait mode).
Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks for the tip about holding the Option key. Didn't know that one.
There are other things that Acrobat Reader does, specialized things you can do in Adobe Acrobat to create PDF, that Preview does not. For example, you can create PDF forms with field that are editable. In Reader, you can enter text into those field before printing the form, although you cannot save the form. Preview does not have this capability.
So, you may have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Preview and Publishing Issues

I have the trial 2008 Xcelsius 5.0.0.99 version and have created a dashboard with 43 objects. Everything was going great until I added 5-row, 2-column price array. Now, when I preview or publish, I get a blank screen with an "Initializing . . ." box and it is frozen. I can click preview again and it instantly goes back to edit mode.
If I delete the price array out, it still will not preview. However, if I create a new, simplier dashboard, it previews fine.
After searching the forum, I have upgraded my Flash Player to 10.0 and upgraded my laptop memory to 2GB - which I needed to do anyway.
Is there a fix for this?
After reading some ov the other postings, I do not think that my dashboard is too complicated. Please confirm.
I would be happy to send my dashboard to you for review if it would help.

Hi TFulton
Looks like your using a relatively old version. Can you patch your install to the latest version SP1, FP3 and try again?

10.9.5 with camera raw 5.07 not showing .RW2 and DNG but showing .CR2 previews in finder

Even with the latest OS and latest camera raw, only my Canon raw image files display proper previews in the finder, and open properly with iPhoto and Photoshop. .RW2 and .DNG files will not show previews or open with iPhoto, and .RW2 files won't even open in Photoshop without being converted to DNG. I've combed the support community questions for over a year now, am tech support oriented, and am ready to throw in the towel. I've had this same problem with previous system versions and camera raw versions, so I know the solution lies with neither of the two.

I'm having exactly the same issue and I posted on Adobe's site and dpreview and StackExchange but nobody has the final answer. I can see thumbnail previews in finder with ALL my various Raw files (Olympus OMD EM1, Panasonic GH2 and GH3, and Nikon D5300) just fine but when I use the convert to DNG feature in Lightroom (latest version since I'm on the CC subscription), only the Nikon DNG files display a preview thumb in finder and neither the Oly or Panny DNG files display. The closest I got to an explanation is that, since the m4/3 cameras do their profiling in camera and Adobe doesn't have a profile for them, some of the info isn't converted into the DNG in those systems. The article I read about it was really about Aperture not being able to read the Adobe DNG files but it may also explain why Mac finder can't show preview thumbs. Aperture 3: Some DNG images display as unsupported - Apple Support
If there is no way to get preview thumbs in finder with the converted RAW files from my GH3 then I'll forgo converting for now.
Here is my Nikon DNG
And my Panny DNG (Oly is the same)
Panny RAW shows up just fine
As does the Oly ORF

Can't open .DNG files in Preview and others

I am using Adobe DNG converter OR Lightroom to convert .RW2 from a Panasonic Lumix 3 to .DNG
This works:
1. Working with files in LR
2. Use PanoMaker to create panoramas
3. Create HDR with Photomagix
This does not work
4. Open files with MAC OS X 10.4.11 Preview (Vorscha) even though thumbnails look ok.
It says (in German) that it can not open the file
5. View files in Houdahgeo - Adding GPS info works
5. Use Photomagico to creat slide shows - only see thumbnails at the bottom
I also played with the settings in Adobe DNG Converter and LR (Raw 2.4, 4.1, 4.6, 5.4, User...Linear...Not compresse) but it did not help.
I searched multiple forums, found the problem twice mentioned on the side but never resolved. One hinted that its a problem since 10.4.11

Hi,
(1) I'd think that if Adobe makes a XYZ to DNG converter for MAC OS X the goal would would that the following can open such a DNG file
        (a) All Adobe Apps ..... it works ....... mission accomplished
         (b) The native DNG viewer in OS X which is "Preview" .... it does not work!!!
         Note: the above works if XYZ is Canons RAW. If it is coming from a Panasonic LX3 one is out of luck
(2) I just tried the above with LR 2.6RC and DNG Converter 5.6. Nothing has changed.
Anybody having an idea? work around?

Overprint Preview question and another issue...

Hi...
CS4, Win XP.
Overprint Preview question:
The other day i sent a file for printing (poster) in PDF and CS2 formats. For some reason, the printer converted the file to a .tif and then printed. Parts dropped out... Both the PDF and CS2 files looked fine.Description follows:
1/ Background black
2/ Design element over the black (blue lines to form a wave).
3/ Logo in red and white. Plus a line of text in red. And other text in white.
The white of the logo vanished. The red line of text kind of vanished... printed very faintly and only (i think in parts). Printer tried to do a patch job of printing the line separately and pasting... anyway... to cut a long story short, he wanted the final output in .tif. OK...
So, i converted to tif and sure enough... those parts vanished... did a search here and found the solution - view file in Overprint Preview and then in Attributes, turn off the Overprint Fill... so all well...
So, the question is, why does this happen? And, how, do i know in advance that x or y is likely to cause a problem? I have noticed in Bridge that sometimes, parts of a logo or a line of text does not show... but looks fine in AI or Acrobat... now realise the cause, but not the reason.
The other issue...
Same black background(s)... placed Photoshop file/s with a transparent background... Prints fine at the printers (various machines and media) ... But on the laserprinter an HP Color Laser Jet CP1510 series, there's a dark patch around the image (the actual file area).
Again, any ideas?
Cheers...

Hi PrepressPro...
Many thanks for your earlier inputs, but not quite sure where you got the idea that i want someone or anyone to play detective... i've understood the Overprint problem... and moved on. If anything, maybe i was just musing and wondering if any particular action turns on "Overprint Fill"...
Or maybe, i was referring to the second question which has not been resolved yet... Quoting it below for easy reference:

To elaborate, the pix above are product shots which have been cut out and placed on a transparent background... The PS file is then placed in AI CS4 with the object option selected to maintain transparency. The transparent area is printing darker on the printer above. But is fine when sent to commerciqal printers...

RAM Preview framerate and sound issues

The same story as usual. A beginner who can't get the framerate right or the sound to play in the RAM Preview. Well then:
Ae CS6.11.0.0378, I think
Demo version
7,9 g ram allocatable
Win7 proffesional
Only .avi and .mp4, can't tell much more than that
All other common factors can think of vary between the layers, with no difference.
Sound preview set to 10 minutes
No mute-related settings activated
Sound and volume checked for each individual layer
I don't know what more to submit, there's probably a lot.
It's quite simple. No sound in the RAM preview, and it keeps freezing, not responding when I start it, and playing at random speeds. The sound does play in sound preview. The framerate is set to auto.
That's about all I can think of. It probably needs a lot more detail required, but not anything I can think of. Any help appreciated.

You can get the frame rate right by dragging a clip in question onto the Make Comp icon at the bottom of the project window.
If you're fooling around with time -- time stretch, time remapping, posterize time, time displacement -- or using Rotobrush or Warp Stabilizer -- you should know that AE doesn't like mp4's as the source video. No telling about the avi.
There could also be compressed audio in the video files, and AE has never played nice with compressed audio.

Wrong print preview and printed color from Lightroom 1.3

I am running Vista Ultimate and i just installed the driver for my Canon PIXMA Pro9000.
When i try to print from Lightroom 1.3 the colors are very muted, even when i do print preview the colors are wrong in the print preview screen.
No matter what i do i cant seem to get lightroom to Print Preview AND print with the right colors.
The image on this link http://www.pbase.com/charld/image/94711330
(on the left) is what i see and get when i do a print preview and print and my monitor image is on the right.
If i use Canon DPP the colors are not that bad, its a bit dark but that was easily fixed and i can get it quite close to what i see on the screen. My monitor is not calibrated..The images were all shot in RAW and converted to DNG...Do i need to re-install Lightroom as i don't think print preview has anything to do with the printer i have attached....
Thanks

I got the solution from another forum:
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?t=1613
1. in the Print module, clicking on the Print Settings button ...
2. Choose your media type
3. Under Print Quality choose High
4. Under Color Intensity choose Manual. In the subsequent dialogue box choose None.
5. In the Print right hand panel under Color Management choose your print media - PR1 for Photo Paper Pro, SG1 for semi-gloss &c
6. Rendering intent Perceptual.
7. Hit Print and OK.
this resolved my issue!!

PREVIEW and QUICKTIME slow to load in SNOW LEOPARD

I've just started having a problem (after years of working perfectly) where files are taking FOREVER (up to 30 seconds anyway) to load in both PREVIEW and QUICKTIME.
This occurs both when opening files fully with double-clicking - and when wanting to Preview by just pressing the space bar. I utilise the latter frequently to audition samples (as I work with music/Logic). This used to be an instantaneous process but can now take up to 30 seconds with the "Loading Preview" message before finally loading.
It seems to be happening with all files, irrespective of size or type (ie mp3/WAV/AIFF/MOV etc)
Very ocasionally - and apparently randomly - a file will load quickly.
I've tried reparing Permissions, running Disk Warrior, reinstalling Preview, uninstalling Perian, opening another User account (in case there was a software conflict of some kind), and cloning my System onto a brand new HD with lots of free space. But none of these have made any difference.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?
Cheers in advance:)

hey andy
yeah there definitely appears to be some kind of issue (with core audio?) when i check out Console as this happens.
i've looked at the subsequent diagnostic report but not sure how to interprete it.
wold it be useful to post it here?
cheers

Preview and Finder showing photos with the right rotation, once imported to iPhoto its lost

Hi,
I'm geting nuts with this issue.
For my own camera all works fine. 90° rotated pics show up in Finder, Preview and iPhoto correctly. Landscape is landscape, portrait is portrait.
Now I got photos shared (using Dropbox) from a friends camera. Finder and Preview also show landscape and portraits correctly rotated.
But, once I import them (by drag&drop from the Finder) into iPhoto, all portrait photos are landscape now and need to be rotated 90°. This is the same for Thumbnails, full screen and even slideshow.
The only difference when importing those photos is, for my own I use the import out of iPhoto (by plugging the SD directly to the Mac), the other photos are imported from the Finder with drag&drop.
BTW, the rotation information for all photos are correct in Preview (1 for normal photos, 8 or 6 for 90° rotated).
So what is the problem here? I'm going nuts.
Thanks in advance.
Monty

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
