Why are my RAW dng files opening in photoshop as 8 bit?

I am shootng on the canon 5 D Mark II.
On other Mark II camera bodies that I used in the past, the dng files are 16 bit. Why are mine 8 bit, and how can I change it IN CAMERA to 16 bit (I know how to convert it in photoshop,)
thanks

DNG is an Adobe standard which stands for "Digital NeGative". Adobe supports the format and have also contributed it as an open standard (free to use, they provide free DNG converters, they also state that it's "royalty free" if you were a developer and wanted to include the standard in a product, etc.)
You can find more information on it (and download Adobe's own free DNG converter software) here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.edu.html
And while it's supported by several companies even outside Adobe, it isn't adopted by Canon or Nikon -- they continue to create files in their own formats (.cr2 for Canon and .nef for Nikon).
Are you using Adobe's DNG Converter or something else?
JPEG is an 8-bit format (there is no option for anything other than 8-bit if you shoot JPEG).
CR2 (Canon RAW) is a 14-bit format on your specific camera.
If you shoot RAW and copy the CR2 files to your computer, you've got 14-bit data (there is no option on your camera to change the bit-depth.) There are options to shoot in alternate RAW formats such as S-RAW1 & S-RAW2 (don't use those if what you _really_ want is "RAW").
Canon "Digital Photo Professional" (aka "DPP") came on the media CD bundled with your camera and can open all formats that your camera can create... but 3rd party software wont necessarily support all the formats. Everyone, of course, supports JPEG. RAW is supported via RAW updates from the some vendors (e.g. Adobe provides RAW updates but usually only for their latest versions of software). The S-RAW formats are often not supported by 3rd parties.
It looks like RAW support for the 5D II was added in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) v5.2. That was back in the days of Photoshot CS4. If you have CS4 or later (or any version of Lightroom) and you keep up with the "Adobe Camera RAW" updates then Photoshop would be able to open the Canon .CR2 files from your camera in their native format and would not need to have them converted to ".DNG" format.
Canon DPP will allow you to convert your RAW files into TIFF (which is also a non-lossy format).

Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

Why is firefox4 so slow to open web pages?

I upgraded to firefox4 and now my browser is running so slow when opening web pages??

The most recent version is Microsoft Outlook 2011, not Entourage 2008

"But, I did not put those files in the Trash." How did the files get there? Why are they in there? OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

Why are so many files in my Trash? Is this some new feature I am some how unaware of? Confused... Thanks. Lena

I don't know why it happened, but I just spent a few hours and went through them one at a time and either refiled or deleted...

Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
Ty

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

Motion 5 - I have 12gb of ram so why are you so slow?

Been using motion 4 a ton at the office and it has been slowing down my computer to a crawl and I am not sure why:
1. I have a pretty new mac with 12gb of RAM
2. Even though I constantly need to jump into Bridge and Photoshop, I bite the bullet and shut them down to appease the computer gods. Still no luck.
Here are my other stats:
OS X: Version 10.8.2
Proc: 3.4 GHz i7
Mem: 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Yeah, so should I be looking into nuclear power supply to get this program running correctly or ***?

It could be your second display.
I did a test and added 5 particles playing at the same time. With three displays on and with only the iMac display on. No slow down... I put another 5 particles.... Slow down but not much.
I distributed all 10 particles throughout the timeline, no slow down with one display or three displays.
You have to remember when you add more (for example particles). You will always have a slowdown. Motion is like Flash. Motion has to display objects on the screen at retime, on the fly. For a particles it has to compute the object on the fly. (Flash has to do this inside a browser.)
One last thing... make sure you have fixed resolution turn on for each layer group. This will make sure That each image... video... object and particle doesn't display beyond the bounding video box within Motion. If not set Motion still has to computer for these objects beyond the video bounding box.
Off...

Why are MacBooks so slow using Wifi?

The irony is I've had to jump on my Windows PC to troubleshoot. Not a single issue with any device in the house connecting to the Wifi and using internet. Just the MacBook Air. Why hasn't Apple addressed this? I can see by the numerous posts and questions this is a very common issue that has been going on for years and the concerning thing is how many similar posts to mine don't seem to get resolved.
Feel duped by Apple and all the hype about their PCs versus Windows based PCs. Paid double for my laptop and yes it looks pretty and is nice and small, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Isn't the point you don't have to be a computer geek to make these things run.
Too bad the laptops aren't as handy as the phones and IPads.
Dissapointed,

If MacBooks are inherently slow when using Wi-Fi then there is something wrong with all of mine, because they run like blazes.

Your Mac obviously performed well when you bought it, or you would have either immediately returned it for a 100% refund or called AppleCare, who would have fixed it. If AppleCare is no longer an option for you then you have to provide specific details, ask others to help you, and then patiently wait for competent assistance. The only questions that remain unresolved are the ones that lack those requirements. There is an abundance of useful information on this site that will help, if you want to fix your problem and not just rant about it.
Specific guidance requires specific details - until you can provide them read the following:

Why are colors of embedded videos opened with acrobat different to original files?

Hello,
I generated a videoclip in Premiere CC in different formates ( mp4, mov; flv.... ) and embedded it in an Indesign document. From there I generated an interactive PDF. Opening the file in Acrobat, the colors of the video are different as in a videoplayer like quicktime. Opening the pdf in a browser like safari, the colors are correct. Alternative I embedded the video with acobat pro but the result was the same like before. What is the reason for this problem? Do I have to mange some special colorsetting in the video or are there some presettings to be done in Acrobat?

If you open System Preferences / Displays / Color can
you change the color profile to others in the list?
Or, do you get a "beep" and no change?
I can change the color profile.

WHY are MACS so slow on internet vs PC's??

I have a fast connection and even those that really know MACS (hack n tosh groups - meaning they really know how to edit KEXT files) say the same thing.
If I launch Safari, Firefox, whatever, on a MAC wired, (ethernet) it is always slower to load the page whereas on the same connection with a PC, its about instant, what is THIS problem? Also, at the Apple store, I have a friend that says that this is always a complaint from recent switchers. Windows just works so much faster and when you are used to a page loading in 200 milliseconds, 1-2 seconds DOES SEEM like a long time. I see this all the time.
Any ideas and will they ever fix this issue? It will download fine but for everyday browsing, it is just so much slower.
Thanks. Doubt there is a fix but if there is, would like to try and hear it.

My Mac is much faster than my work machine, and the work machine is on a T-3 line.
Also note, the nomenclature of Macs:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=503342&tstart=10
The speed on the internet varies based not on operating system but based on browser rendering engine, website design, status of driver/firmware for routers, corrupt cache and cookies of specific web browsers, and hardware being used.
To improve the connection on web browsing, use a browser designed to understand the specific website being browsed. My FAQ* should help on that account:
http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html
To improve the connection on WiFi access see this FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/WIFI1048.html
Also empty caches, and remove unnecessary cookies from your web browser.
And make sure your disk space isn't too full*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
If performance is lacking still, tell us the website and the browser used, and we can tell you if an alternative works better, or if we think it is the hardware or firmware of the hardware you are using which is slowing you down.

Why are filled fields blank when opening in Macs?

I can create a form in Acrobat, fill in the fields, enable it for Reader, put it online for downloading, and they view fine on a PC in the browser. However, when opened in Macs or the iPhone, the fields are blank. Anything special I should tell the customers so it works on a Mac? Right now I'm not sure what app they're using to view them.
Thanks,
Steve H

I just did a quick test. I opened the file in Acrobat. Reader, and Preview on the Mac. They all showed the field contents when initially viewed. When I made a change to a field in Preview and saved the file, the field contents do not display when subsequently opened in Acrobat/Reader. This is a well know bug in Preview. In short, Preview corrupts the fields, making the contents not visible. This can be partially corrected by exporting the form data to a file and reimporting, but is does not undo all damage. It does make the data visible, however. You can also run a script to effectively do the same thing.
What you should tell folks is not to use Preview to make changes. Instead, use Acrobat. Reader can make changes and then save the modified document if you apply usage rights to the document with Acrobat: Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader...

Why are downloads so slow

When I tried to download the new firefox the download speed never got above 50kper second

WELL WITH 15MPS I BET YOU ARE RUNNING SLOW!
I would restart the router * any networking gear you have* and maybe the ipad if it is still slow. then do the following..
"sometimes I like to throw my hands up and yell AAAA YOOO IM A LEGO!"

Why are external servers STILL auto-opening when you connect to them!

This never happened in classic. One of the many reasons why I stopped liking "macs".

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.
