Problem with converting GF1 raw files

I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix GF1 and use raw. However, my CS3 and Element 6.0 is not able to read the DNG files that I have created through Adobe DNG Converter. It doesn't seem to matter that I updated the Converter to 6.3. It creates DNG files, but none of my image processing soft ware can deal with them.
I have also used a Canon G11 for almost a year and converted the CR2 raw files without problem.
Please help me! Anyone!

New problem discovered: My RW2 files of about 11-12 MB are converted to 40-41 MB DNG files. How is this possible?

  • CS2 problem with 5D MKII RAW files from Lightroom 2.2

    Ok, this one is weird. I have tried it on two different computers with the same resulting problem. If I convert a full size RAW 5D MkII to Tiff in the new Lightroom 2.2, then bring it into CS2 and covert it to 8-bit and try to save as JPG, it always comes up with a program error. I tried an sRAW file with the same process and it worked fine.
    Just to make sure I did have something else messed up, I converted in DPP to tiff and then went to CS2 and saved as JPG just fine.
    Anyone else try this and see a problem? Looks like it's a combination of a problem with the new Lightroom, plus CS2.
    It almost seems like CS2 doesn't have enough memory to convert the file to jpeg. I have had this program error before in CS2, but with much larger files. The 5D MKII should not overrun memory.

    This is a known bug in CS2 where it trips up because of the (valid) metadata written by Lightroom. You need to delete the xmp metadata written by Lightroom from the file before saving as jpg or export from lIghtroom with minimize metadata checked.

  • Problems with some Canon Raw files

    I'm having a very frustrating problem and would be interested in seeing if anyone else has seen this.
    I have images shot in raw with a Canon 1D Mk II. Some of the files cannot be rendered in Aperture - they show a gray thumbnail and the red "unsupported file format" display in Viewer. If I open the Library package and navigate to these files, I can view them fine in every other browser/converter - ACR, Capture One, DPP, iView Media Pro, Bridge.
    Preview is also unable to view the image as I'd expect with the same error as Aperture.
    I do know about the Photo Mechanic problem, but I don't use that app. It's not a firmware issue since I have images taken on the same day - some display some don't. I've tried importing multiple ways, making sure there is no metadata assigned, everything I can think of but no luck.
    Even though most of my hair is already gray, I'd like to keep it if possible, but this has me ready to pull it out.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks much,
    Jon Canfield

    I shoot with a 1Ds and 5D and previously with a 1d and 20 . I have also seen this problem with 1D files and 1Ds files and I think it has to do with if the file had been opened in another raw converter and left with the raw adjustments in embeded. I say this because the files it gives me in grey are ones that I opened but didn't edit. I will try opening and saving in another software and then to bring back into Apeture, though the more I have to use PS CS, Bridge, DPP, or other package the less I think Aperture is going to provide a complete solution for me.

  • Problems with Quality of Raw file when pulled into Photoshop

    I use Photoshop CS3 with ACR plugin version 4.6.0.30 installed.  When I pull my RAW files into it,  I seem to lose a lot of information.  For example I took a picture of my black dog.   I set the camera (Canon 40d) to save the file in both RAW and high res JPG.  When I pull both files directly into photoshop the JPG has more detail information in the highlights and shadows than the RAW file does.  This should be the reverse.  To see if the problem was in the file or in the process of pulling it into photoshop I also pulled it in through Lightroom.  Then I used Zoom Browser (software that came with my camera).  Zoom Browser forced me to convert to a TIFF before importing it to Photoshop.  I'll try attaching a file I made that shows the results of each.
    My conclusion is that there is not a problem with the CR2 file, since the CR2 file converted to the TIFF has the most detail, but something is happening when I import it into photoshop.  I just don't know what settings I should be looking at to fix this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Camera Raw 101: ACR has different baseline "Defaults" than the Canon software, therefore you will need to make your own adjustments–and perhaps save out a new ACR Default. Canon's software only has to worry about a small sampling of cameras. Camera Raw supports over 230 cameras' raw files. As a result Canon's software tends to match the in camera JPEG and the camera's LCD by default.
    Camera Raw on the other hand is more concerned offering a normalized default rendering of the raw data. Rather than trying to force a certain "look" (generally higher in contrast and more saturated) ACR will show the raw data a bit flatter and less saturated.
    Fact is, Camera Raw has a huge number of controls for the express purpose of allowing the user to maintain total control over the rendering of the raw data...what you need to do is learn how to use all the sliders....

  • CS3: HDR Merge Problem with Canon 50d RAW files

    I recently upgraded from a 20D to a 50D.  I'm running CS3 under WinXPpro with 3GB of RAM.  HDR merge of 3 CR2 files is causing CS3 to generate a program error and crash.  This never happened with my older (smaller) files from the 20D.  Anybody know how to fix this?
    TIA,

    The suggestion was to try an HDR with smaller 50D sRAWs as an *experiment* to see if the size matters more than the camera model.  Another benefit of a 50D would be the 14-bits per pixel instead of 12-bits and an sRAW would have less noise per pixel than a full-size RAW so using smaller sRAW images might work better than a 20D's.
    The "size" being referred to is the dimensions in pixels, not the on-disk size, becasue the in-memory size of an image should be similar whether it comes from a 16-bit TIFF or an 16-bit RAW conversion.
    Merging RAWs will involve ACR during the HDR process, whereas merging TIFFs won't unless you have the setting to prefer ACR for TIFFs, too, which you don't indicate.
    There can be data in the highlights and especially shadows from a RAW that gets thrown away when it's converted to TIFF, so merging RAWs is better than merging from TIFFs.
    I currently have CS4 only on my machine so I forget, but with CS3, does it matter what output size you have set in ACR, when you do an HDR conversion from RAW?  In other words, does HDR using ACR ignore the output size or not?  If not, then perhaps setting a smaller size in ACR (the same area where you set the bit depth and conversion colorspace) would make things work or setting a larger size with 20D images would make them fail.  This is being suggested as a experiment as well, to try to isolate the issue, not necessarily a permanent solution.
    I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with a 50D RAW that would make it not work, but the larger size would use more memory and maybe your machine is getting close to some sort of limit.
    Other suggestions would be to reset your preferences and check your disk(s) with scandisk and/or change your scratch-disk to somewhere else to make sure there's no some corruption keeping the HDR process from working with the larger 50D images, and along those lines, also try purging your ACR cache or moving it to another drive.  You might also try changing the amount of memory available to Photoshop (ram vs scratch-disk) in the Preferences.
    What module does the crash occur in, if the error says?  Is it related to display or something else?

  • Problem with Canon G12 RAW file

    I'm very disappointed because I can't use Lightroom with my new camera! I have this issue since LR 3.3. and CR 6.3 started to support Canon G12's raw file. Any raw file is decoded incorrectly, picture is grained, it has a lot of noise at any ISO (even 80 or 100). The defect is noticeable only at 100% zoom, not at 50% or other sizes.
    I tried to do also a clean installation of LR 3.4.1 and CR 6.4.1 but the problem persists. (I use LR 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit; with PS 12.1 64 bit I have the same problem)
    Yes, the camera is ok, and with Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.10 all is perfect, the same picture is amazing.
    Is there any solution please?
    Thank you!
    Davide

    It may be that DPP knows how much default noise reduction to apply to your G12's raw images and Lightroom doesn't.
    Can you adjust LR's noise reduction sliders to get a better image? If so, you could make that amount of reduction a default.
    If that doesn't work for you, could you post a sample raw image somewhere that we could bring it into Lightroom and see what you are writing about?

  • Problems with prints from RAW files

    I wonder if someone could shed some light on this problem. I uploaded some photos to Kodak through iPhoto, some were JPEG's from my old Canon Powershot and some were RAW files from my new Nikon D40. The images on my monitor from the RAW files from the D40 were great with very vivid colors and I was looking forward to my first prints from the D40. When I received the prints the photos from the old Power shot looked good but the D40 looked terrible. The prints were all washed out and very dull, the strange thing was that there was one photo that was taken with the D40 which was edited and that came out as a good print and seemed to be a JPEG. I guess its something to do with the upload of RAW files, should I be shooting in JPEG ?. I thought that iPhoto uploaded JPEG's
    Thank you in advance

    Printed RAW files will always look unsaturated or "dull" until processed and saved as a jpeg or tiff files. Think of RAW/NEF as a means of preserving ALL the available information to later "develop" a final image to be saved as tiff or jpeg for publication. Shooting in Large Fine JPEG mode will yield great results for print and web publishing, and also leave more room on your memory card and computer drive to make more great photos

  • Problem with Canon 6D raw files on LR "4.3"

    Hi
    I am having some problems with LR 4.3. This is what happened after I import my 2nd batch of 6D raws to the library (300+ photos). 1st batch of <30 raws were ok. I have yet to do basic troubleshooting but this is something never happened to me with my older cams and older LR versions.

    The import operation of LR has a backup to an alternate location function which is normally how you'd recover from this sort of situation--retrieve things from the backup location.  Presumably you don't have backups for anything, though.
    I’d try it in another computer, at least, and see if it comes back to life.  The easiest thing to try is recover the photos off your memory cards.  Google for photo-recovery programs. 
    If a hardware component on the drive, itself, failed, then there’s probably nothing anyone outside the factory can do, and then maybe not, either.  It would involve swapping the data-storage portion of the device to another device with its circuitry intact and seeing if things started working again.  This would only work if the data-storage portion of the device was still ok and the other circuitry had gone bad. 
    If something on your computer wrote bad-data to the partition table or boot areas, then the files, themselves, may still be there and findable by a low-level recovery program.    Google for hard-drive and partition recovery programs:

  • Problem with NIKON D600 RAW files

    I have had a new NIKON D600 for 6 months. The RAW files have worked well all this time. However, I recently took the camera in for repair. Upon its return the Adobe Essentials 11 catalague and editor no longer recognizes the RAW files created by the camera. However, those files are still recognized by the Nikon software ViewNX2. Since I use the Adobe program all the time for manipulating the files I need RAW access.
    I called Nikon and they told me it must be an Adobe software problem. But the Adobe software recognized the files up the time of the camera repair.
    What can I do about this?

    Hi,
    How do you get the images from the card to the PSE catalog?
    There are known problems when using older version of the Nikon software to download the images. Have you tried updating the Nikon software?
    The D600 needs ACR 7.3. You haven't recently re-installed PSE 11 and not done the updates have you?
    What version of camera raw is installed (Editor -> Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw)?
    Can you still open the older D600 images that you took before the camera was repaired?
    What operating system are you using?

  • Problems with Canon 7D RAW files

    I am using Elements 8 with Bridge and how downloaded and installed the latest ACR (version 6.2).  I have also purged the cache for all folders on my iMAC, but the CR2 files still show only as blank icons.  Any idea what to do next?

    ACR is not expected to generate preview thumbnails in Windows Explorer.
    You will not see thumbnails nor be able to preview your .CR2 files on a 64 bit system without the installation of a special codec to do the job.  If you haven't already noticed, you can't even normally see thumbnails for .PSD files either (and this, at least, Adobe really should provide).
    I use and recommend the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack, which will enable .CR2 thumbnails as well as (with just this week's release) .PSD thumbnails.  It's inexpensive, and helps integrate your digital photography into your computer environment.  I have no affiliation with this product, other than being a satisfied user.

  • Support for Panasonic GF1 RAW files

    Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get Aperture to work with the GF1 Raw files - is it possible to convert them to dng format then import them?
    Or does Apple update Aperture regularly with support for new(ish) cameras.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have been using the Bibble 5 pro trial. It is worth looking at for Panasonic G1, GH1 users. Great feature set (lens distortion correction- though not necessary for the GH1, vignette correction, layering, chromatic aberration correction, etc...) and works with referenced files. Navigation within Aperture still slicker in my opinion and not sure if Bibble does the cloning thing....
    However, Bibble is light years faster than Aperture with adjustments. Browsing on Bibble is SLOWER than Aperture. (no scroll wheel flipping through preview images as far as I can tell...)

    Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.

    1st problem trying to convert mpeg video thru ipod converter. I have successfully converted DVD`s and other downlaoded videos but this is the 1st time i ran into a wall.
    I am using GSPOT CODEC software and it says its a "riff- wrapped " file. When I open up Videora converter it doenst do anything meaning no green bars to show its progressing into mpeg4 format. It does finish and it goes to finish videos but when I try to manually put it in my I-tunes it doenst do anything. Why i am posting this. I am frustrated. WHAT -and it appears to be mpeg - the heck is RIFF wrapped file?

  • Problem with Adobe Camera Raw

    Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on this; I've been going round in circles with all sorts trying to get Adobe Camera Raw to function on someone's laptop.
    It will not recognise that he wants to open a Raw file (.cr2) into photoshop and doesn't recognise the file type.
    The setup is as follows:
    Win7 Professional
    Photoshop CS3
    Digital Photo Professional 3.5.2.0
    Canon Eos 5D MkII (firmware 1.0.7)
    When I go to Help > About Plugin, there are two "Camera Raw" occurences; one has version 4.6.0.30. The 2nd says "operation could not be completed. class already exists".
    I've tried numerous times to update Photoshop, but every time there is an error saying there's no internet connection. I've checked and checked again and I'm 100% certain that there is no firewall software that might be blocking it somehow. The laptop is otherwise on the internet fine.
    It's becoming quite a problem as we don't have the exposure and other raw format controls to adjust. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled both the Canon camera software and Photoshop.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Don't know why you do not have a internet connection. My guess is the you are running off a router with a firewall. Some websites do not like double firewalls. Try turning off Windows 7 firewall and re-download.
    The free DNG converter on the Adobe download site should help you with opening the RAW file. I am thinking the camera is newer then what PS CS3 RAW supports.
