ADOBE DNG CONVERTER DOES NOT FIND CR2 FILES FREE

If you use a different brand, or even a Canon camera other than mine (an EOS 5D Mark II) feel free to carry out a similar test yourself (in fact, it’s probably wise – see the note about Fujifilm cameras at the bottom of the article). CR2 files that I can use as a comparison. I’ve only been converting my Raw files to DNG for a short while, so I still have plenty of Canon. The easiest way to find out is to carry out a test. Is it possible that there is information of some kind in your camera manufacturer’s proprietary Raw format that Lightroom can’t read, or is somehow omitted from the DNG file during the conversion process? The question naturally arises as to whether there is any loss of quality during the conversion. In Mastering Lightroom: Book One – The Library Module I recommend converting your Raw files to the DNG format when you import them into Lightroom. This blog is no longer updated, but you can read my latest articles at my new website The Creative Photographer and find my photography ebooks at my new store.

ADOBE DNG CONVERTER DOES NOT FIND CR2 FILES ARCHIVE

The image part of the file is not changed at all, so an original raw file and a DNG converted from the raw file will always display identically.You have reached the archive of articles posted on my personal blog. Unless lossy compression is used, there is no quality loss involved when converting to DNG. There is also an option to embed the original raw file in the DNG, which will roughly double the file size. There is an option in the DNG converter to use lossy compression, which creates very small files.Ĭhoosing that option also activates an option to reduce the pixel dimensions of the converted file. My guess is that the RAF format uses more effective compression than the NEF format, and that the DNG compression is much better than NEF, but not quite as good as RAF. The DNG files converted from Fuji RAF files are 4 - 5% larger than the original raw files. 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. Many thanks for your replies Jim and David,
