Problem diplaying dng files converted in Lightroom

When I import my RAW files into Lightroom, I convert them to .dng files. They display just fine in Lightroom. However, when I try to open them in Irfanview or Thumbsplus, the image is broken up into broad hoizontal bands with some of the image missing betweeen the bands. I suspect that this is a windows problem since it happens with two different windows applications. Here is an example.
Anybody have an idea where this error comes from?

Thanks for your help. I did some searching on the ifanview forums. According to somone there, this problem can be avoided by disableing "fast load embedding" when importing RAW files. I have not been able to confirm this as I have not yet figured out how to import them without "fast load embedding". However, it seems like a nice feature that I don't want to disable. I guess, for now, I will just import my RAW files and not convert to .dng.

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

Lossless compression of dng files like in Lightroom?

Lightroom losslessly compresses DNG files to half their size, which is wonderful. Is there any way to get Aperture to do this?

I remember seeing a plug-in to call the DNG converter from Aperture, but I think it never leaved the beta phase.
Anyway, using Adobe's converter is no big deal, and it's free.

Problem reading dng files into Photoshop CS6

Why can't I read dng files from a canon 5dmk2 from ACR8.1 into Photoshop cs6?

I converted the CR2 files from the Canon5dmk2 into dng using the Adobe DNG converter.
In Photoshop CS3 I can read these dng files into Adobe Camera Raw and then export them into Photoshop. No problem.
I have just installed Photoshop CS6. I can read the dng files into Adobe Camera Raw (v8.1) without a problem. However the file is then corrupted when I try to export it into CS6.
Strangely, I have similar files converted from CR2 to DNG for a Canon 1100D and these read without problem via ACR into both Photoshop CS3 and CS6.
The problem is that Photoshop CS6 will not read dng files from a Canon 5dmk2.

10.4.9 problem on DNG files and cd open/close tray

After the new OS release, the file preview of my Leica M8 DNG files are no more visible. I need to open them but even setting "show icon preview" in the folder prefernces i get no result. Apple Preview also doesn't open the file anymore.
In addition, to open the CD tray, now it requires to push the botton for at least double the time.
Waiting for the fixies to this annoying problems.....
.oesse.

I updated to Tiger 10.4.9 the other day on my MacPro and today found that the Eject key wouldn't open the CD tray. When I realized that I had just experienced the same problem on a G5 at work a light went off in my head. Now reading this posting, I see that it is not "broken" but that the behavior of the key has changed.
Since the behavior of the key has always been to just hit it, not hold it down, to open and close the tray, I don't see any good reason to change it. No other key on the keyboard requires one hold it down. It's counter-intuitive. I had already filed a ticket with my company's Mac tech support service to say my CD drive was malfunctioning and may need replacement. I had been able to open the door with a paper clip in the tiny hole and then insert and play a disk, but had not been able to make the tray operate normally. All of this because the behavior of the key has changed. I'd be willing to bet that people will be buying and replacing drives because they aren't aware. Certainly there will be a lot of money and time spent registering and responding to tech support calls on this silly issue. What a waste.
I hadn't realized that the work computer had been updated to 10.4.9, and will still need to check this out, but I assume that is the case. I have to admit I didn't read the ReadMe file for the update I did at home because I was rushed and decided to forego that. Perhaps it speaks of this change. Does anyone know? Certainly if it does not, it should. I for one think Apple was a little knee-jerk on this one. Those who whine about a tray opening when they slip up and hit the wrong key should just be told to grow up.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open dng-files converted with the adobe dng converter 7.4

Hey Guys,
i got a new camera - sony alpha a57 - which produces arw-files. for being able to work with these pictures on my photoshop cs3 I converted the arw-files to dng-files. now adobe bridge shows only the converted dng-signs, but I can't open them to work on them.
does anyone have an idea what I could do to use these files?
thanx,
rita

Hi,
Sometimes when using the dng converter one needs to set the compatibility settings to the version of camera raw you want to open the files with.

Dng files modified with lightroom 4 that are exported do not open in cs4 with the modifications

When I modify and export dng files in lightroom these modifications do not show up in cs4 when I open the exported file. They do if I export the file in jpg format.

Jim, I appreciate the feedback. I believe the issue is as you stated- I need an update to the camera raw in cs4 in order to view the changes. Unfortunately, I do not think is possible since adobe has decided not to support cs4 anymore. My choices as far as I can tell are 1) read the lightroom file out as jpg which has the changes, 2) update to cs6 which probably has the correct camera raw version, or 3) do this cloud thing with adobe which is what they want you to do. I like to print my photos in large format, 17X22 etc, and since my set up prints out nicely from cs4, and pretty much looks terrible from lightroom, I probably will just read out the jpg files and print them in cs4. The reason I use lightroom is that it seems to correct highlights and such much more effectively than cs4. Any thoughts would be welcomed. mike

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.

Problem with dng raw converter

I install 8.5 raw converter but Lightroom did not see that Why?

These are two separate programs that do not know about each other's existence.
You use the DNG converter as a standalone program to convert RAW photos to DNG. Then you import the DNGs into Lightroom.

I have no problem displaying DNGs in Finder (see screenshot below). Images even open fully in Preview. I'm running OSX 10.9.1

Artifacts in DNG files converted from NEF

On two occasions, I've encountered artifacts in my photos that I've converted from NEF (using Nikon D7000) to DNG format in Lightroom 3.6. Is there a "fix" for this?

Yes, you're correct. It sounds perfectly feasible to keep a checksum in the database for other file types. I voted for your idea.
Here's an interesting article: http://dpbestflow.org/data-validation/dng-validation
Currently, the only way to check a large number of DNGs is to run the free DNG converter on them, which can take a long time and requires disk space for the second copies. The Adobe SDK has a function for checking the checksums, so it sounds like a relatively easy task to write a small app that would validate an entire directory tree containing DNGs. That could be quite fast and would be a good thing to run periodically.

Problem with DNG Color Profiles in Lightroom 5.4

Hello folks,
I recently updated from LR 5.3 to Lightroom 5.4 and since then I am having problem when using dng color profiles which were created with Colorchecker Passport. Every time I use such a profile which was created for my Nikon D 800 I get very greenish tones in the pictures.
I use Windows 7 Pro on a HP Z 210 Workstation. The monitor is a hardware-calibrated Quato which was recently calibrated.
Does anyone have this problem too and - if yes - know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Yours, Albert
PS: As English isn't my mother tongue I apologize for any mistakes in the text above.

Hello Andrew,
I do have a Nikon D 800 and a Fuji X-E1. I haven's noticed a problem with the Fuji so far. I think I will recalibrate my monitor tomorrow and see if the problem still exists.
I can supply raws and DNG profiles but I don't know where I should upload them - I suggest I could do it on my own webspace. Would that be ok?

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.

How the hell do I download adobe raw to dng file converter for Mac OSX

I have been trying for the last 3 hours and all adobe does, however you click on the hundreds of search results, is to route me back to their free trials on products page. A disgusting wast of my time.

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.
