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.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4). The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files. As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0. (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.

Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't! I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset. All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support. Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'. I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch. I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project. Because it seems you very much can not!

Dennis,
Many thanks.

Subject: Premiere Pro cs4 opens cs3 files with errors
Jarrod,
As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers. That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support. This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
Here's a couple of suggestions:
1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
Try these things and let me know how you make out. Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs. I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times. You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.

Cannot open DNG files in CS3 or Lightroom?

When I convert RAW files from my new DMC-LF1 camera to DNG, I can not open the files in CS3 or Lightroom. Isn't DNG supposed to be a universal format?
I do not have problems with converted DNG files from my Nikon cameras.

I use the free Adobe DNG Converter vers. 8.1 der supporter mit Panasonic DMC-LF1. I just downloaded this version and now am able to open my Panasonic DNGs in Lightroom, but not in CS3. There are no problems opening my Nikon DNGs in both programs.
This certainly leaves the problem about DNG as a universal format lasting far out in the future, doesn't matter what camera the file came from.

As far as I know DNG is supposed to be standardised format. What are you using to convert the RAW files to DNG?

Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top. One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past. I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation. Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades. Thanks

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

That's odd. Does this mean that you want to have the request or that you can't see the photos even though you enabled it over the privacy/photos?
If you enable it - it's not necessary to get the request. If you want the request the safest way to get it back is to reset the privacy settings by going to iPad settings/General/Reset/Reset Location & Privacy
thanks,
Ignacio

Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

Hi all,
the problem still exists..
Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
Others do..
I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
- e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
(too much effort, too?)

Cannot open Dng files

Hi!
I'm trying to write a script which opens .dng files and then after a few changes, saves them as .jpeg.
I'm working with CS2.
I've tried using open with "RawFormatOpenOptions". If I do not initialize the fields inside this struct, it says it misses some values, and If I choose the values manually (I've selected the same values as the ones that appear when I open the image manually) It gives me an error which says "cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect".
How can I open these .dng files? I do not know which parameters I need to fill in the options so that I'll be able to open the files.

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!
