So, I run Macbook Pro. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Downloaded latest version of Adobe DNG. It won't recognize any raw files. Including Fuji XE 2 raw. I thought it should be able to. The XE 2 is listed as a supported camera.
My hope was to convert the XE 2 raw files to DNG to open in LR 4
What am I missing? Thanks for any responses.
I posted a week ago about dng converter stopped working. It worked at the begiining but stopped after a month or so. I have sonce tried downloading several times but does not come up in my photos. There is ajpeg file now + ps file . When i click on the ps box it comes up into a raw file edit but when i come to save it there is no listing for conversion into jpeg format so i can see it ...only ps. Dont understnd this.
When i first downloaded dng converter it worked fine.After about a month it stopped working.Instead of the raw file showing up as abox in which 'dng' was written,psd box showd up instead and when clicking on this it opens up the raw file editor but then when try ing to save the image i psd there is no jpeg in the dropdown box to save it as. There is only psd ,jiff and some others. There was a jpeg choice when i first downloaded and the dng box. So what happened.?? I have tried several times downloading again but still same problem. Checking somewhere on the comp it said 'control host stopped working. Dont uninstall in case it starts to work again. this was a few months ago that it stopped working.Also it seems there is not 1raw and 1 jpeg file...sometimes ther are 3 or 4 raw files as psd and only one jpeg. Hope that clear.Thanks.
I have a new Canon 70D and Lightroom 4 which does not support it.
I donwloaded the DNG converter to convert files so I could avoid the upgrade to lightroom 5.
When using hte DBG converter I find that a .CR2 file with a date of 12/31/2013 8:00AM gets changed to 1/4/2014 5:40PM
Bad program behaviour
AND
to top it off the current computer time is 1/5/2014 2:30pm
This seems very odd. Is there a work around?
Does Adboe care that this program is fatally flawed in this regard?
When using lightroom to convert CR2 to DNG this never happened.
What is the correct setting for keeping original the names when converting RAW files? When I try the default "Document Name" it replaces the first letter of the original file number with an underscore (_). In place of P1010036.RW2, for instance, it provides _1010036.dng. To me an underscore is a less than ideal as they way to start a file name.
None of the other options seem appropriate. All the assorted serial number options are shorter than the serial numbers of the original Panasonic files.
Suggestions much appreciated.
Is it possible to convert raw format images of Nokia Lumia 1020 (10 bits per sample) to 8bits DNG file using Adobe DNG converter? Is there anyway to do other than using dcraw reader?
I'm using Adobe DNG Converter 8.3.0.141 to convert more then a Million of raw images in thousands of diferent folders.
It is working well, but first I must prepare and rename with a script some of the folders and then collect all the paths to a xml file.
In each folder path I temporary put a bat file (windows7) that is my command file and my script will wait for for the bat to finish and then delete the raws and goes to the next pre-processed folder collected from the xml.
I had to rush a bit and I have manage to use several PCs running the batch and it is running ok.
How can I use inside the bat file command to activate:
"Skip source image if destination image already exists"?
The need for this is because sometimes the raw files are not deleted after the conversion and it will collect again that folder to convert again. So I need to tell not to convert if already exist.
And please, why adobe puts on-line an old and incomplete PDF manual for the cammand line tags:
How can I download DNG 8.3?
I have been trying to use the DNG Profile Editor to create an inverted tone curve to import a color negative. I want to create an inverted linear tone curve when I convert the negative and use the downstream software to apply the appropriate camera curve. The issue I face can be replicated by doing these steps:
Go in to DNG Profile Editor. Tone curve tab, select "linear" for the base curve. If you create your own custom curve and export the .dcp file and read it in with the color tables external profile, you can see the curve you expected. It works as you expect for any curve even negative curves unless you select 'linear'. Then, if you repeat the same process except this time you draw an inverted custom tone curve (so the image goes to/from negative to positive) and export the .dcp curve and view it, the curve includes your inverted curve, but also includes the base curve (as though the 'base curve' menu had been selected)...which it should not include. It seems to be a very difficult if not impossible task to get an inverted linear line for the tone curve which makes it impossible to do any scientific measurements with a negative image.
I want to report this as a bug and request a fix.
Thanks.
I just downloaded the DNG converter (ver 8.x) but it doesn't recognize my RW2 files. My camera is listed under supported file formats. What am I doing wrong?
I would like to have the capability of using the Nikon 800 Active D-Lighting when I want it.
My organizing and basic (gross) adjustments happen in Lightroom 5.3. Lightroom, and as near as I can find, NO Adobe products (Lightroom, Bridge, Photoshop) can read the ADL information from a Nikon D800 .NEF, so apparently I have to go outside my normal workflow to incorporate the ADL data.
I'm looking for the simplest and most efficient way to get from a NEF that has information Adobe won't read to some kind of raw file (a .dng?) WITH the ADL data. So far, the only path I've found is to open the images in View NX2 and convert them to 16-bit tiff files because View NX2 doesn't have any "convert to dng" that I can find.
Then, I have to open the tiff files in Bridge (or LR), shove them into ACR, and save them as .dng files. Aside from being clumsy, the .dng files are HUGE... a 48MB .NEF becomes a 42MB (approximately) .dng file. BUT, if I go through View NX2 and generate .tiff files, the tiff conversion to .dng generates a file between 110 and 120MB - almost THREE TIMES larger than a .dng created directly from the .nef.
Is there a reasonable way of getting a source file into Bridge orLightroom that incorporates the data in the Nikon .NEF?
I want to convert dxr fomat to DNG.
Is there any tag in DNG for digital gain?
Additionally, any tag for binning infomation?
Thanks.
I'm using a fuji X-M1 and when i convert my raw images with dng i get a pattern across the whole of the frame, It's like a fine net when you zoom into 100%.
When i process using silky pix i dont get this problem but i really dont like that program.
Any ideas.
Hey all,
Been using DNG converter for awhile now with zero problems. The past couple weeks whenever I process some files up to my server at work, it will change the date from today's date (i.e. 2/24/14) to some date in 2002.
I've tried rebooting the computer, restarting DNG converter, deleting DNG Converter and re-installing a newer version. Nothing is working.
Any ideas? I don't think I've done anything differently... it just started happening.
Thanks
Jeff
Hello,
I decided to migrate from RAW to DNG,
how can I convert the wholw Lr catalog without loosing my edit, rating, metadata, (all what is applied to my RAW files)
what will I loose by converting all my images to DNG, ?
thanks in advance
If I use DNG Converter 8.4 RC to convert Raw files from my newly acquired Fuji X-T1, and then I use Windows Explorer to visit the folder that contains the converted files, Windows Explorer crashes and restarts.
There does not seem to be any problem reading the DNG files in Lightroom, but the moment I try to visit a folder with even a single DNG file from the X-T1, down it goes.
This problem occurs on two separate computers, both running Windows 7 64-bit.
It does not occur on DNG files converted from any of my other cameras -- only from the X-T1.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
I'm converting some of my JPGs from film cameras and point and shoots to DNGs. I am doing this because
The DNGs converted from my .NEF and .RAF files work in OS X Finder and preview, however the DNGs converted from my .jpg files do not work, showing 0 x 0 dimensions and no image in FInder and returning the following error when opened in Apple Preview:
"The file “2010-03-05_08-54-00.dng” could not be opened. Preview currently does not support this raw file format."
They do, however, open in Adobe programs such as Photoshop CS6 and LR4.
I am using the Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks with the latest updates, converting JPGs through Adobe LR4 with Camera Raw 7.1 compatibility. AFAIK my OS X Digital Camera Raw Compatibility is 5.03 and up to date. Proprietary cameras RAWs from 2013 cameras can be previewed with Finder and Apple Preview.
Is this an issue with OS X ImageCore, or is there something I'm missing?
I've noticed that when using DngConverter 8.3 in Windows-7-64 with .cr2 RAW files with long filenames, the end of the .dng filename can be truncated
Here are some examples (cr2 before and dng after)

There seems to be a limit of 59 characters. I used Bridge to embed Metadata in the filename.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this "as expected"? Or could this be a possible bug?
Could this be because the total filename (with sub-directory name) was excessive? Here's the sub-directory:
S:\_WorkInProgress\_RAW\2014
A workaround is to use shorter filenames, but a limit of 59 chars seems rather restrictive.
How to save a Bayer format(CFA) data to DNG file using DNG_SDK?
Is there some sample code for it?
many thanks.
I am implementing a vision project, and want to save disk space by converting the 12-bit linear raw files to 10-bit log Adobe DNG files.
I went though the DNG document but could not find the formula or matrix to convert from 12-bit linear RAW to 10-bit log DNG.
Can someone kindly offer these details ?
Cheers!
