Where is DNG converter 8.6?

I understand that the Adobe DNG converter works on raw images in file folders. What I need to know is how to find and start the program. I searched all over but only found ACR 8.6 RC. Is the DNG converter part of that install package? I installed ACR 8.6 RC. Now Bridge uses that when opening a raw file in ACR, but I cannot see that DNG converter was installed, too. How do I get DNG converter to work? Thanks, Ken

It's at the bottom of the following link:
Download Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 Beta - Adobe Labs
The link says Camera Raw, but the last little late to the bottom of the screen is for the DNG converter. When you're looking for release candidates and other new technologies, Adobe Labs is what you should look. Incidentally, all versions of the DNG converter work on raw files in folders. What is a you are referring to specifically?

I have been using DNG converter from the beginning. But suddenly the bottom part of the interface has disappeared where the Convert button is. What's happened

Very strange. Why would it disappear after all this time

Very good question. In fact I have just replaced my monitor with a higher resolution screen. However it is all irrelevant now as I have cured it. I uninstalled the old versions of the Converter and installed the latest version 9. All works ok. The hardest part was finding where the DNG Converter had squirreled away on my computer. Eventually found it but I couldn't get access to it through the Control Panel.
Many thanks for your reply

How to uninstall Adobe DNG Converter

Please forgive me if this has already been asked; I tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer.
I am on Windows XP SP3 and have installed DNG Converter 5.6.0.148. The installer ran ok but I don't see an uninstall link the Add/Remove Programs.
Is there some official way of uninstalling it?
Thanks

Unfortunately the response from Mr. Hess is incorrect and uninformed. The DNG Converter installer does install much more than the single executable in the Adobe program folder which Mr. Hess refers to. If he were to use that single executable on a machine where the DNG Converter was not installed he would quickly find out that it would not work. It relies on the camera and lens profiles that are installed (on a Windows OS anyway) in Application Data > Adobe > CameraRaw. That Adobe has created an installer (which installs so many files) without an uninstaller is rather irresponsible (to say the least). Instructions to manually delete the files and folders installed may vary, given folder naming conventions in various versions of Windows, but on Windows XP deleting Adobe DNG Converter.exe and the CameraRaw folder (as mentioned earlier) would delete all the files that are apparently installed.
The question was how do you uninstall the DNG converter. The DNG converter (itself) is a single executable file for which no uninstall program is required to remove. Even though someone may wish to remove the DNG converter, the profiles that you speak of would probably still want to be retained because they are utilized by Camera Raw and Lightroom if it is installed. So I did not misspeak. If someone wants to remove the DNG converter, all they have to do is delete it.

How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

Where's the Adobe DNG Converter 4.5 app?

I downloaded the ACR plugin and the DNG app isn't in the dmg. What gives?

Thanks Eric, in frustration I eventually found your posting with the correct page for downloading the DNG Converter which works fine. How long will Adobe keep the wrong page up? It is now October. How many people are totally frustrated by this wrong page which looks to all intensive purposes the same between the two version. I have over 200 students doing photography who use DNG

DNG Converter 6.4 does not recognize any RAW files

Hi,
I have updated DNG Converter from 6.2 RC to 6.3 and 6.4. DNG Converter 6.2 RC from Adobe Labs recognizes all my RAW files (Canon PowerShot S50, PowerShot SX1IS, EOS 400D). The official releases of 6.3 and 6.4 do not recognize any RAW files of these cameras.
I select a directory, where the raw files are located, but DNG Converter tells me that no files where selected. With 6.2 RC, I select the directory and everything just works fine.
What's wrong with this picture?

Ahh, I forgot:
System is Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, patched up to date.

What's the Difference in Conversions done with ACR vs. DNG Converter?

As an experiment, on my PC workstation I just converted a set of 40 Canon CR2 files with both the free DNG Converter 6.5 and Camera Raw 6.5 (both 32 bit and 64 bit). With Camera Raw, I dragged the files to Photoshop, then used the [Save Files] button and chose .dng format. I chose "Medium" thumbnails in both cases.
The DNG Converter and Camera Raw 32 bit took almost twice as long as Camera Raw 64 bit (56 seconds vs. 33 seconds).
The .dng files produced by Camera Raw ended up larger than those by the DNG Converter, about 9% larger on average.
A file comparison shows that the differences are all near the start of the file, and that the latter 80% of the data is identical in all three cases.
The DNG converter files are more different from the Camera Raw files than the two different sets of Camera Raw files are from eachother.
This leads me to ask these questions:
1. Why are the 32 bit DNG converter app and Camera Raw 32 bit plug-in so much slower than the Camera Raw 64 bit plug-in? I have an 8 core machine, and in general don't see a 2:1 difference between equivalent 32 and 64 bit code. It appeared by watching Task Manager that all of them were using more than one thread to do the work.
2. Are there any plans to release a (much faster) 64 bit DNG Converter for Windows x64 users?
3. Is there a practical / usability difference between the .dng files generated by Camera Raw vs. those generated by the DNG converter?

Not really. Particular threads do not normally maintain a long-term affinity for particular cores, so the usage gets spread around as Windows does its multitasking stuff and what you normally see is just activity across the board, as seen in the screen grab below (that was DNG Converter running). Only inasmuch as the overall percentage is higher than 1/n (where n is the number of cores) can we infer a certain amount of multithreading.
And yes to both of you - every setting that I could find is perfectly consistent across the board, including compression. And as I mentioned before, the embedded previews are coming out exactly identical, both in size and color.

Loupe in Bridge doesn't display DNG images created using DNG Converter correctly. Why?

I have noticed recently an anomaly in Bridge when viewing DNG files that are created by converting my Nikon NEF files to DNG using the DNG converter. Specifically, when clicking on the preview image of a DNG file, in order to open the loupe, the 100% image seen in the loupe remain fuzzy, whereas when clicking on a preview of the original NEF file the 100% view in the loupe is sharp and clear.
I am using DNG Converter version 4.6.0.3, and it also occurs when using version 4.4.1. I am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9.
I have no reason to believe that Bridge is at fault, since the loupe function does work properly when viewing the NEF file. It would seem that there's a problem in the DNG conversion.
However, despite this anomaly seen in Bridge, when I open the DNG file in Camera Raw, it is perfectly normal at 100% or any magnification.
I have tried re-setting the JPEG review size in the DNG converter, but that makes no difference.
What's going on here? I don't want to keep both the NEF and DNG versions, for reasons of space, but I'd like the loupe to work correctly. Help, please?

Try to recreate the thumbnails for that folder.
Use the latest version of the converter (5.4)

Bug in Adobe DNG Converter 7.2 RC

Adobe DNG Converter 7.2 RC (for Windows) keeps missing files. When pointing it at a folder containing many raw image files to convert (and providing a different folder as the destination for the converted files) then it won't always find all the raw files. There are no files besides the raw image files in the folder ... umm, with the possible exception of the hidden Bridge cache files, .BridgeCache and .BridgeCacheT. The destination folder initially is empty.
When this happens then I have to re-do the conversion, with the same source and destination folders selected and the Skip source file if destination file exists check-box ticked. Then DNG Converter will collect and convert the raw image files it missed in the first run. So far, I never had to perform a third run, but I frequently have to do two runs to get a folder's raw files converted. For example, in my most recent attempt there where 966 raw image files in the source folder (of the type Sony ARW, along with XMP sidecar files), and DNG Converter found 954 files in the first run and the remaining 12 in the second. The bug also occurs when the folder contains mixed types (Sony ARW and Leica DNG in my case). There is no error message or any other kind of hint that something is going wrong, so you have to check the result manually. The status line at the top of the Conversion Status window teling the number of files to convert will report the number found; if that's less than the number of raw image files available then you'll have to start a second run when the first is finished. It's easy to miss the problem, and then you may end up with some files not converted!
So far, the bug inevitably occurs when there are many raw image files in the source folder—i. e. more than 400 (and up to 1,200). When doing several attempts on the same source folder then the set of missed files will vary, i. e. it's not always the same files that get missed. It is not even always the same number; the number of missing files varies between, say, 5 and 20, i. e. approx. 0.5 - 5 % of the number of files in the folder. It seems that if the number of raw image files in the source folder is small (say, less than 300) then the bug does not happen. In my last successful attempt, I converted 263 files of type Leica DNG, and DNG Converter found them all on the first attempt.

Does it matter what hard-drives the files are on, whether they are missed?
No, it doesn't. There are two physical SATA hard-disk drives installed in my machine, and the error occurs no matter where the source files are. It also does not matter where the destination folder is. Usually it's on an external 3.5" drive connected via USB 2.0, but I also tried the internal drives, to no avail.
ssprengel wrote:
Does an older DNG Converter also miss files?
Gosh! To my surprise, yes it does! I just tried DNG Converter 7.1, 6.7, and 6.6, and they miss files just like 7.2 RC does. They didn't back when they were current ... or at least, I never noticed.
This seems to indicate that the culprit is not DNG Converter 7.2 RC but my machine. But then, my machine and the hard-disk drives (including the external 2 TB 3.5" USB drive) are the very same I am using for years now. I didn't change the operating system; it still is Windows XP SP3. I am also still using the same cameras as I always did for years now. The only significant things that changed recently (besides DNG Converter) are Photoshop 13.0.1 and Bridge 5.0.1.

Nikon AW110 .NEF Files in Camera Raw / DNG Converter

I'm a bit new to NEF, and even RAW to be honest. But far as I can see both DNG converter 8.2 and Camera Raw (newest) is not happy with the .NEF Files from my Nikon AW110 camera. It won't open them.
Is this something that will just be updated in DNG or RAW sooner or later? I have an early release of the AW110 and naturally there is not too much support out for it yet.
Please let me know if I should be able to open these or not. It's no worry if there's nothing i can do about it yet, I just want to make sure my camera raw or photoshop isn't broken.
Trying on OS X 10.9 (and 10.8) Photoshop 14.1.2 and Camera Raw 8.2.0.94
Thanks guys

ACR/DNG Converter 8.2 were released mid-Sept, which seems to be about the time or just before the Nikon 1 AW1 was available, so you’ll need to wait until at least the next release of ACR 8.3 / DNG 8.3 sometime in during late-Nov to early-Jan timeframe, I’d expect, unless there is something strange about that camera that requires extra time.
The first place ACR/DNGC are available is the release-candidate at Adobe Labs, so check back there from time-to-time:

Here is the list of currently supported cameras, where the Nikon 1 series is just above the Olympus section:

Can't find any raw files to convert when I am using Adobe DNG converter

Recently I purchased a new Olympus XZ-1 camera. I shoot exclusively RAW pictures (raw files for this camera are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop Element 8 it was imposible, nor then I could see those pictures in the organizer. By surfing on diffrent forums, I was able to figure out that Camera Raw included in Element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not supporting the .orf raw from Olympus and if I didn’t want to upgrade my Element 8 to Element 9 or 10, a simple alternative was to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my .orf files into dng files, which could then imported by Element 8 and opened in Camera raw 5.5.
I downloaded DNG converter version 6.6 and installed it in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that once inside DNG converter, when selecting the folder where all my .orf files are (Select folder), I can't see any raw files to convert there! I tried to select a folder with NEF files instead (raw files from Nikon) and it is the same problem! Why can’t I see those files of mine I want to convert when I select the folder in DNG converter?
I'm dying for help!
Thanks a lot!

When you are selecting the folder in the DNG converter, you only click on the folder. You DON'T double click on the folder. After you have set your options, and chosen the folder, you click on the Convert button. It is only after you have clicked on Convert that you will see the list of files that are being converted. You will also be able to see an indicator of the progress of the conversion. It really does work. Just to verify, the procedure I outlined is one that I did just prior to trying to write the instructions. It really isn't rocket science. Just choose the folder, only the folder, and click on the Convert button.
You'll notice that the button prompts you to select the folder, it doesn't say anything about selecting a file. You only select the folder that contains the files. You will never see a list of files using this method. If you only want to convert one or two images you can use the other method. Leave the DNG converter closed, open the folder containing the DNG files in your operating system folder browsing utility, choose the file you want to convert, and drag it onto the icon for the DNG converter. That is how you choose individual images.

Dng Converter not working in Bridge

Hi
I have CS3 and have already downloaded the latest version of the DNG converter. When I use the Converter as a separate application, it works fine to convert my RAW files to DNG files. Recently I discovered the process in Bridge called "Get Photos from Camera" where I can process many steps with one click. Unfortunately, the part where it is suppose to convert my RAW to DNG files isn't working. Any ideas why? Some background info, I recently upgraded from Vista 64bit to Windows 7 64bit. I uninstalled PS CS3 and then installed it back, and it's working fine except for this one little step. Do I need to install the DNG converter again, but designate it to put loaded into a different folder so that Bridge recognizes it ? Would appreciate any support or feedback. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

I discovered this Bridge process in a Scott Kelby Book, for CS3, called "Get Photos for Camera". He specifically goes thru each step, and the second step is the DNG Conversion process. It worked for him. It should work for me.
Ah, but did he do it for images from a 2009 camera with a 2007 version of PS?

Downloading DNG converter and it's not working

I've downloaded, reinstalled, and tried several different versions of DNG converter to download my 2nd shooters Nikon D7100 RAW .NEF files, but it's not finding any images once I have it installed. I've downloaded version 7.4 for Windows, which contains the D7100 update...and I've tried installing the newer version 8.6 as well. Nothing seems to be working. What am I doing wrong?

If you are new to the DNG converter, it's possible you are getting caught by the prompt where the converter is asking you to locate your raw files. It's only asking for the folder. Don't open the folder containing your raw images or you will get the message that there are no images to convert.

DNG converter works automatically for NEF but not NRW

I have this issue with the DNG converter and Adobe Camera Raw 6.3. I run Windows 7 64 bit, and use the DNG in my worklflow with a program called Image Ingester Pro, where the card is downloaded with three copies (original and two backups) on separate internal hard drives, put in folders and renumbered, and the DNG converter is applied to the original and back up #1, leaving me only dng files in those hard drives. The original raw format is saved to the back up #2.
This works incredibly well with NEF files from my D2x. No issues. Using the latest download of the converter.
I have a Nikon P7000 that shoots a raw file that is a NRW file, which Camera Raw 6.3 and LR 3.3 now supports with this latest converter. I run the same program, and the DNG converter fails to run. It leaves me with NRW files in all three hard drives. I can then locate the folder, open the converter as a standalone program, and run the converter, and it converts the files. I then have to search for the NRW files and delete them, leaving me the DNG files in these 2 folders.
The same issue happens on my laptop runing Windows Vista 64 bit.
I have tried every work around including deleting the download and doing a fresh download of the converter. Somewhere the program stops when it sees the NRW file. Has an additional prompt or step been added? Is it a new administrative permission, that does not occur with the NEF files? This is really perplexing. Nikon is continuing to use this file format with the D7000 and possibly other cameras. Do we have to wait until ACR 6.4 is released for a fix?

I installed DNG Converter 6.3 this afternoon to use with NRW files from my P7000. It does not even recognize that NRW files exist, however runs fine with NEF files already on the computer. My laptop runs Vista 64.
Also loaded Converter 6.3 on my desktop, running Vista 32. Doesn't work with NRW files there either.

Where is DNG converter 8.6?
