Saving DNG as a DNG in Photoshop CS4

Hi,
So I've converted a bunch of raw files to dng. I then did my edits in photoshop cs4, cloning, cropping, etc. What I'd like to do next is save the file as a dng in photoshop and then continue some editing in Lightroom. It seems to me that PS CS4 will not give me the option to save it as a DNG file. What am I missing?
I tried to save it as a .RAW but it gave me a wierd message about the file may not be able to be opened, or words to that effect. What can I do? Appreciate the help.

I'm using still CS2. Here it is possible to manipulate a DNG in ACR
and save it from there as a new DNG.
Save > Save Options > Format > Digital Negative
It's not possible to save an arbitrary file as DNG from Photoshop,
probably because metadata are missing.
Photoshop RAW has nothing to do with Camera Raw. It is a simple
file format which can contain image data, but the header is not complete,
therefore it can be interpreted only by the person who had packed the
image data into the file.
On this occasion I would like to thank Adobe for the free DNG converter
and the concept behind: I can use a very new camera together with
ACR in my old program CS2 by copying flashcard Raw data immediately
as DNG to the harddisk.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

Why doesn't Photoshop CS4 open DNG files created in Photoshop CS5?

I download raw photo files from my Leica Dlux 4 and convert the Leica raw files to DNG files using CS5 Bridge. Recently I discovered that when I try to access these DNG files in Photoshop CS4 I get a message saying 'cannot access this file'. The files also do not show up as thumbnails in CS4 Bridge. Do I need an upgrade or a plug in to see DNG files created in CS5 Bridge in Photoshop CS4?

System: Windows 7
Third party plug-ins: Not to my knowledge?
Quicktime: I believe so.
Save Method: I save as two copies, one in the default Photoshop format (PSD) and then I hit "save as" to save as PNG.

Photoshop cs4 ORF or DNG files in bridge

I have installed my Photoshop cs4 in my new computer wich is running windows 7 But I cannot preview ORF or DNG files in bridge I th
ink this may be a activation problem

If I do that it doesn't get any bigger just makes the window bigger, not the image
If that is the case something is wrong with your set up. The slider bottom right Yammer p pointed you to does alter the size of the thumbnails, not the panel itself.
Top right are the workspace names, at the right of it is triangle, click on it and choose reset workspace. Otherwise restart bridge holding down option (mac) or control (win) when restarting bridge and choose reset preferences.
If still out of luck provide more details about your computer (RAM / VRAM) OS version and exact Bridge version.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

I too was having the same problem with Web Premium CS3. Working with my previously created animated GIF files, or certain JPGs were causing either Ps to crash or even Safari to crash when I was trying to attach those same files and send them to clients via email. I got frustrated and am reinstalling the OS from scratch. I have a solid backup and thought this might clear up things (not to mention make me feel better cause I am cleaning house at the same time). Just now going through the forums to find others are having the same issues. If this does not fix the problem, I shall be back for more assistance. As a graphic/web designer, working in graphic files is my life (bread & butter).

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

It depends on the original format and the destination format of the file.
PS: You should upgrade to version 11.0.1

Photoshop CS4 Freezes when Saving

I have been designing some stuff in photoshop CS4. It has worked fine, just like normal. I finished my project and attempted to save. I proceeded to the file tab, then save. Noting came up, but my cursor changed to the loading sign (One note, I had just updated to OSX Mavericks, it worked fine on Mountain Lion). Nothing has happened, and I had to Force Quit photohsop. I am looking for a way to resolve this problem so I can continue to use Photoshop. I have tried some of the other adobe products, and they have worked fine, only photoshop has been affected.

I have not experienced that problem, but with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, etc.) might also be beneficial.

Photoshop CS4 "Freezes" when saving as a JPEG

I have been using Photoshop CS4 with SnowLeopard and my MacPro for months now without a problem. I save multiple images everyday, often as JPEGs for the Web. But today, out of the blue with nothing changing (no new updates, or plugins), Photoshop "locks up" when saving a JPEG. I can still move the curser arrow, but everything is dead and the file did not save. I have to hit ESC just to get PS back online. I can save other file types, no problem.
Has anyone experienced this? Any help or solutions? I have the latest version of PS CS4.
(Note: If I go under Save for Web & Devices I can save it as a JPEG, but seems like an less than timely run-around)

Photoshop cs4 crashing on saving

hi,
My problem
i have a problem with photoshop crashing on me, in particular when saving it also crashes when doing a large task e.g... rendering lighting effects, running a batch web gallery, site-grinder and trying to perform an action.
After past trouble shooting (described below) if i opened photoshop through bridge (bridge open on selected photo double click to open photoshop with photo) can do minor edit, and when trying to save it crashes!! very sad .. i found that if i made sure i opened photoshop first, then open selected photo i could save ... as of late am getting back to original problem of crashing regardless of opening procedure upon trying to save work. sigh .. (i have not added anything new, just the same as before.) at the moment saving is a bit of a hit or miss .. i hold my breath saving!!
i make sure that there is a little as possible of other software open at same time .. generally just mail, fire-fox and bridge.
i let photoshop open fully on own with out any disturbances .. e.g. checking mail or doing anything else on comp at same time .. the same goes for quitting or running anything automative.
I am only having this problem in photoshop.
i have spoken to mac support and they say that they can not help as is only happening in photoshop.
i have run disk utilities and comp all fine.
I have photoshop cs4 extended running on a macbook pro, version 10.4.11.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1

Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz

State: Enabled
i run photoshop in rosetta. i have a plugin called Lucis Art that requires this.
i also have a plugin called fluid mask 3
all these are legal copies i have paid for.
i have no additions actions, brushes installed etc .. normal fonts + only a couple of extra's - legal versions (edwardian script, sanvito, country garden) have tested to see if fonts installed are corrupt and don't appear to be.
my past trouble shooting.
i created a whole new user on mac and trashed old user started everything from fresh, with no plugins, tested all when installing, re-setting presets on opening photoshop. there was another along those lines but can't remember.
i hope i have provided you with enough information to help me. i have read somewhere that it could be a scratch disk issue ... not sure but would think this was enough ..
i desperately need to have my programs working and hope someone out there can help me!
PLEEEEEAAAASE :)
Danielle

Hello,
I'm actually having a similar problem to Danielle's. I googled "Photoshop CS4 Saving Issues," and this was one out of two things that popped up!
I'm editing a wedding with CS4. I just switched to the trial version and am purchasing in about a week or so. Have been having no issues until the past couple of days. I drag a series of JPEG photos from CS4 Bridge into Photoshop. I edit a JPEG photo with some actions (thereby creating layers), hit "Save As" and I hit "JPEG." It automatically wants to save that file as a "copy" but I delete copy because I want it to save over that file.
Typically up pops a box saying "Cancel" or "Replace." About 70% of the time it works, but 30% of the time that box with "Cancel" and "Replace" comes up blank, and I have to force quit Photoshop because it freezes.
I originally thought the problem was my new terabyte hard drive, so I stopped editing on that. Now I'm editing on my actual iMac hard drive (which has 100GB available). But it still keeps happening. Now I'm thinking it
has to be a CS4 issue, but I have no idea what. Could it be the actions I'm using? The number of files I open at once? I can't figure it out. I'm not super computer savvy, so I'm hoping someone can help!
Many thanks in advance,
Lisa

Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
ANYONE ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Or make the Type and Hyphen layers into a single Smart Object and clip a yellow layer to it.

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.
