PS CS4 with CR 5.7, Lightroom 2.7, DNG-converter 5.6 all fail to recognize 1000D .cr2

I , like others have experienced http://forums.adobe.com/message/3706070#3706070, also can't open Canon 1000D .cr2 raw files even though it's listed as supported in the Camera Raw 5.7 Readme http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
I use PS CS 4 with Camera Raw 5.7 on a PowerPC G5 and I have no problems opening raw files from Nikon, say,
There seems to be no official response from Adobe how to solve this problem, even though this is not new. What knowledge came out of earlier cases? Does Camera Raw 5.7 support CS4 on PowerPC or doesn't it? If not, why isn't that exception listed in the documentation?

In the interest of other 1000d owners that encounter the same problem I have, It seems that provided one were shooting Raw + jpg there is a possible bug that will produce corrupt RAW files if you transfer them using the 1000d camera. Symptoms are that the RAW files are about the same size as the jpg-files when you have imported them. This was the case with my files. Raw files should be bigger than the jpg counterpart.
The solution is to use a RAW-compatible card reader to transfer with. or for the future, to shoot only in RAW.
Considering that RAW import is something Adobe control via Camera Raw, I can't but help to feel their communication with Canon and also here in this very discussion as all the others that concerns the same issue, that someone working for Adobe, who is posting here in the forums about these matters, could have mentioned this bug years ago. Not to mention have worked it out with Canon, so that Adobe products would work fully with the 1000d camera that Camera Raw is officially supporting.

Profiles are gone with Camera Raw 6.7 beta and DNG-Converter

Hello,
when i open a picture taken with the new Nikon D800 neither LR nor PS show the profiles i can see with the pictures taken from the D700. This also doesn't work when i convert them to dng with the beta version 6.7 of the dng-converter.
My workflow uses the x-rite colorchecker to generate profiles. It wouldn't be nice if this will not work any more.
Andreas
new picture old picture (no changes in program configuration)

Thanks to all answerers,
i think in my first try i did something wrong (didn't check wheter the file was actually created in ..\roaming\adobe\cameraraw\profiles).
The rest was confusing about the camera dependency of the profiles.
Everything works fine now.
Thanks again
Andreas

Need a different version of Lightroom? or DNG converter/editor??, or...???

Many of these are available on Adobe's download server, if you just know the correct ID to use.
Unfortunately, it's not clear how to figure out the correct ID to use for the software of interest.
Anybody know how to figure out what's available in the download "archives" and what ID to use to get it?
For example, Lightroom 4 can be had via
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5566
But what ftpID would one use to get Lightroom 3 (or Lr2 or Lr1)?
My immediate need is for Lr1 (to do some plugin testing), but the question is more widely applicable...
Thanks,
Rob

Reconvert with new DNG Converter?

If I converted a bunch of Canon 7D CR2 files to DNG using DNG Converter 5.5, should I reconvert from the original raw file with 5.6? What is different about the files, since the raw data should remain unchanged?
I thought the advantage of using raw/DNG was that the file itself stayed intact and that, as raw processing algorithms get better over time, the data could be "crunched" in different ways to make the image better. I am getting a sense now that some of my DNG files created using older versions of the DNG Converter (I have been using DNG for several years now) are somehow inferior to those created using the latest version of the converter.
Any information on this issue is greatly appreciated!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I do have the original CR2s, but say I had several DNG files created with 5.5 and then converted them with 5.6; since it is DNG to DNG, the original (inferior) 5.5 metadata is retained. This makes me feel like I have permanently "tainted" files because they were created with 5.5 (though I still have the original CR2s and could reconvert from the originals) and I am forever stuck with what I have
The current DNG converter does work this way, i.e. it does not replace that metadata (see the thread from Barry Pearson, requesting an option for replacing the metadata). Thus you would stuck with the incorrect metadata if you had not kept the CR2s.
Note, that there is no disadvantage of startiing out from the CR2, because the adjustments saved in the DNG file are not of much use anyway because of the changes. For example the color information has changed; I don't know how big the changes are, but they may require the readjustment of saturation and perhaps even WB. If you have ISO 100 shots (or 125, 250, 500, 1000 - but you should not use franctional ISOs with raw), then the image will become brighter after the new conversion, thus your Exposure, Fill, Brightness, Recovery settings may have to be changed.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Will I get lower quality images from 5.5 DNGs than 5.6 DNGs?
Yes, but this is a speciality of the too quick and dirty support of the 7D in 5.5, i.e. this is not a generic consideration.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Should I be more concerned about getting the latest ACR/LR and not worry so much about the DNG Converter version that was used to convert to DNG?
I have no idea if ACR 5.6 has any functional enhancements compared to 5.5. However, the correct support of 7D raw files in DNG format does not require 5.6 of ACR but of the DNG converter.
For example one of the problems with the preliminary support is the maze-like appearance on smooth surfaces in low ISO shots. The reason is a hardware fault (in cleartext: Canon created crap). This problem can be countered at least partly (I don't know if it goes away totally) with adding a certain metadata to instruct the raw processor to apply a somewhat different processing than normally. This is nothing new, even much older ACR versions do that - if the DNG converter inserted this information.
(The vertical banding in the very shadows of ISO 100 to 400 does not change, like http://www.panopeeper.com/Canon/Canon7D_Banding_ISO00100_Jehuty_DPR_0014.JPG)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I am only nervous because I do not keep the original CR2s long term, only the DNG. I want to make sure that the DNGs I have created with 5.5 are not in some way inferior in quality before I delete the CR2s. If there is inferior metadata in the 5.5 DNGs, will using the latest version of ACR when it comes out "clean out" this bad metadata in favor of better processing methods, or is the only way to "clean out" the metadata to convert to DNG with the official release of the 5.6 DNG Converter?
As you have no way of making sure, that the conversion is perfect, it is foolish to delete the original, i.e. the CR2; the rest is speculation.
However, you should not discount the possibility, that another raw processor or another DNG converter (or a later version of Adobe's DNG converter) can make a better processing of the CR2 or a better conversion in DNG.

Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is the latest for Photoshop CS4 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
The problem is that your new camera is supported by ACR 8.7 and only Photoshop CS6 and up supports this version.
So if you do not want to buy CS6 or subscribe to the $10/month Photography Program, you have to convert the CR2 files to DNG to work on them. Your original CR2s are untouched in the process, you just can't directly edit them in CS4, only the DNGs.
Maybe Canon offers editing software for their CR2s, but CS4 is not going to be updated and there is no way around that.
It's not what you want to hear, but that's the situation so far.
Maybe Elements or Lightroom has updated raw support for your camera, so I encourage you to visit those forums and ask.

Installing DNG converter in CS4 and Lightroom 2.o

I am using Photoshop CS4 And Lightroom 2 on a windows 63bit platform. I have upgraded my camera to a Nikon 5200 and need to upgrade the camera raw file. I have downloaded camera raw 7.3 and it went through an install process for Light rpoom. However, Lightroom and photoshop still does not open the raw files from the new camera. What am I missing?

CS4 and LR 2.x are not compatible with ACR 7.3. You will need to Upgrade to CS6 or LR 4 or both to use your camera's raw files.
Or, you can download Adobe's Free DNG Converter and convert your NEF's to DNG files that are backwards compatible with all versions of Lightroom and PS back to CS2 (if memory serves).

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

How do i re-install my CS4, with no discs?

How do i re-install my CS4, with no discs?
I have InDesign CS from 2003. At some point I upgraded to Adobe CS4, but I did that online, and never had a disc.
I had to clear my Mac, and reinstall my Mac when it crashed. I uninstalled my Adobe CS4, and I am now realizing I don't have a way to reinstall.
1. My Mac won't support the install system on my old InDesign CS disc.
2. I don't have discs for the CS4.
How do I get my CS4 back?

Why would two copies of Lightroom 5 create DNG files with different sizes from the same RAW file? (size is dramatically different, on the order of doubled in size.)

I have a copy of LIghtroom 5 on my office computer and a personal copy on my home computer. I convert my RAW files to DNG with Lightroom when I import them. Files I shoot for work also get imported on my home workstation. I noticed today that the resulting DNG files for the same RAW image are widely different in size. The ones at home are roughly twice as big as the ones from the office.
To the best of my knowledge, things are set up the same on both workstations. Any idea what setting might be causing this variation?

I don't think it's possible to apply lossy compression when importing directly into Lightroom. I know you can do it with the DNG converter and on export but I don't think this is the case here.
In which case we need to determine which set-up producing is the "correctly" sized files. What's the camera and what are the respective file sizes from work and home?

Why not use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3?

I will post this on both the Bridge and Ps User-to-User forums as it applies to both.
I have PsCS3 and PsCS4 installed side by side in the default folders assigned by Adobe but have shifted my Bridge CS4 Cache (containing all the thumbnails and previews) from C:Documents and Settings\etc to a subfolder within My Documents, which I had previously moved to my F: drive - my main data drive.
I have found Bridge CS4 to be much more stable than Bridge CS3. Additionally, Bridge CS4 has certain features which make it more attractive and easier to use than Bridge CS3. I want to use Bridge CS4 in conjunction with PsCS3 until Adobe has sorted out the problems with PsCS4 - which at the moment is simply unuseable on my rather old and humble system.
On my system, I seem to be able to use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3 without any problems detected so far. I even have things set up such that any JPEG, TIFF or PSD file double clicked within Bridge CS4 or within Windows Explorer (Win XP Pro SP3) automatically opens the file in PsCS3 and not PsCS4 (provided, of course, that PsCS4 is not itself already running). Furthermore, even with PsCS3 running beside Bridge CS4, from within Bridge CS4 I can open any RAW, JPEG or TIFF file in Camera Raw 5.1 and use its new features (Adjustment Brush, Graduated Filter, extra vignetting capabilities, etcetera) which were not available in the last release of Camera Raw (4.6 I think) associated with PsCS3. The only problem comes when trying to open edits made in Camera Raw 5.1 in PsCS3 using the "Open Image" button in ACR - it does nothing/won't work, this is, it won't open the image with the ACR adjustments in PsCS3. That's not a big deal for me - as I am currently not doing any work within ACR (any version) and if I needed to I could simply save the ACR edits and then open the files in PsCS4, save the files as PSDs and then open them in PsCS3 to finalise them there.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, or does anyone else know of any reason(s) why I should not continue to use this workflow, at least in the short term?

I've been away. Thanks John, Bart and Buko for your responses. Think you misunderstood my post Bart, but it does not matter now. John got the correct message. Buko: of course CS3 cannot use ACR 5.x - that was implicit in my post.

Issues with Exporting files using Lightroom 5

I bought Lightroom 5 for Mac a couple of months ago and have been using it without any issues, then out of the blue I ran into export problems. Sometimes the exported images wouldn’t have the sharpness adjustments, sometimes it wouldn’t have the noise adjustments, sometimes the saturation or vibrancy, and then sometimes a combination of the above. I know there’s a known issue that effects noise on export if you export on files sizes less than 1/3 of the original size, but mine have always been exported at full size with image quality 70, exporting as jpeg.
I installed the latest update and that didn’t help. I uninstalled the software and that didn’t help either. I then uninstalled everything completely (including the library) by searching both lightroom and adobe in finder > system files> are included and deleted everything I could find pertaining to adobe lightroom (I didn’t delete everything adobe as I have other adobe products). This didn’t help either. What is really bizarre is that I tried restoring my Mac back to a time when Lightroom worked fine, and this didn't solve the issue, and I've also tried wiping the hard drive and just installing lightroom and this didn't work. This really baffled me.
What I have also found with Lightroom (and I'm sure it's all somehow linked) is that if I'm working on a file, and either close LR down and re-open it, or go to another file and then back to the one I was working on, initially the image has lost it's sharpening again, but if I click on the sharpen slider (without moving it) the sharpening comes back.
So has anyone any ideas on what my issues are and how to fix them. I’ve tried the advice on here too [url]http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/manually-remove-lightroom.html[/url].
My workaround at the minute is to use full screen view when I've completed my adjustments and take a hi-res screen shot, but the problem is that the saved images are only approx 1600 x 1000 pixels, which is fine for viewing on my Macbook pro but not good if I want to zoome etc.

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
