![]() ![]() The DNG files converted from Nikon NEF files are 15 - 25% smaller than the original raw files. I use Nikon and Fujifilm and cameras, shooting raw files with lossless compression, which I routinely convert to DNG using the DNG converter before importing in Lightroom. This would possibly mean that recovery has not been successful to fully re-build the data in the files. I get a 'error file can not be converted' message. (Changed Filenames would be a "Spanner in the works"!) The basic answer to this would be to use the (external) Adobe DNG Converter program to convert the recovered CR2s to DNG. I have known of problems where the photos were originally imported into Lightroom as DNG, but the recovered files are now in the camera CR2 format so Lr does not recognize them. Is that more than JPG? I have never known DNG to use more space than proprietary raws. So it seems to work for me- with DNG files! ![]() Very slight changes are obvious if I use Photoshop and the 'Difference' blend mode to compare the two DNG file layers. The 'Enhance' feature does run and create a second DNG file version. JimHess Can you explain more, thanks Jim. This may or may not be a Copy as DNG issue, it might be a image recovery issue.Īlso the inquiry to verify and post your working LR version. If you can get the CR2 files working in LR, then they can later be converted to DNG. If you want DNG fine, mind you DNG can take more space, but not so much to be an issueĪnyhow, how about the inquiry's on what happens when you do not first convert to DNG, and when you copy outside of LR then import via ADD. Thank you so much for making the time to dish out knowledge here on the forum. Loosing a brilliant collection of shots from a amazing music festival weekend I failed to get it right. It is very possible it is 100% user error and that in my blurry eyed distress of the possibility of That LR v5.7 is giving me a error message only on the recovered files prompted the inquiry. Something did not trigger LR to import them as it usually does and imported them from the recovered SanDisk program as a jumble of Cr2 and Jpeg.īeing that my entire catalog is now dng I would like to keep the files consistent which is my only real need to do it. Typically when I upload from my data cards they are done so with my presets. Research years ago led me to convert the cr2 files to dng as a way to save space. I have been a hobbist photographer for many years only very shallowly scratching the surface of the depths of Lightroom. ![]() Which hardly seems reasonable as the main purpose of the DNGConverter is to handle backwards compatibility for Camera Raw files not supported in the user's extant version of Adobe Photoshop.Įver since Adobe moved their business to Creative Cloud they seem to be as confused about what they're doing as their users - and MacUpdate doesn't help with these misnamed updates.Many thanks for your replies Jim and David, I'm a bit leery of installing this DNG Converter update because it says it's only compatible with Photoshop CC. The only thing I can think of that makes any sense here is that Adobe now only provides Camera Raw updates through Adobe Photoshop of Photoshop Elements. It's puzzling that MacUpdate would leave this misleading naming problem unresolved for so long. There is no explanation on Adobe's web site, that I can find, of this issue, not any recent download link for the actual Camera Raw plug-in. Once you click the download link you get a dmg image file called DNGConverter - and that's all it contains - I checked it with Pacifist. The last few versions of what is called Adobe Camera Raw on MacUpdate contain only the latest DNG Converter, not the latest Camera Raw files or plug-in. ![]()
