rpsawin Posted October 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shot with my M8 yesterday and made the above selection. When I downloaded the files from the card to my computer all I found was JPEGs. I expected to have DNGs and JPEGs...what am I missing (other than the DNGs)? Thanks in advance, Bob BTW...I am using CS5 for my pp software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho_co Posted October 30, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2011 After choosing to create both JPGs and DNG, you perhaps neglected to press "SET" to finalize the setting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard, I am fairly sure I did that but it's worth checking to be certain. I'll try again making sure I hit "set" and see what happens.

ho_co Posted October 30, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 30, 2011 Bob-- I've done it again and again. I'd swear I had finalized the selection, but the results prove otherwise. That's just a first guess, off the cuff. I hope the answer is that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted November 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2011 It is so easy to mess up. I can't remember, but I think if the selection changes from a long outline to a short one, then the selection has been "set". Often in my hast I see it there, but forget to "set" it and therefore it does not take. Even after a year I sometimes forget to hit "set". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lykafile Posted November 1, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2011 I shoot DNG + JPEG with my M9. When I import images from my card into Aperture, the program asks which file formats (e.g. DNG only, JPEG as master, both DNG and JPEG, etc). is it possible there is an import setting in CS5 that specifies which files to import?

maxofrome Posted November 1, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had the same issue using lightroom. In the Adobe preferences I find a option: Treat JPG files next to raw files as a separate files" May you had similar preferences for photoshop?

chrism Posted November 4, 2011 Share #8 Posted November 4, 2011 It's easy to double click on the card and look in the folders to see if the DNGs are there - and if they are the problem is with the import settings of your software. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsawin Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted November 12, 2011 I had a chance to go out yesterday and I selected DNG+JPEG. When I uploaded the files to my computer I had both. I must have just not hit "Set" the first time. Thank you all for your comments. Best regards, Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted November 12, 2011 Share #10 Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks for the update, Bob. That's an easy mistake to make. I've done the same thing more often than I like to admit. Let's hope it's nothing more serious than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 13, 2011 Share #11 Posted November 13, 2011 And thank you for coming back and reporting, there is nothing worse than a question and advice but no solution report. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roydonian Posted November 14, 2011 Share #12 Posted November 14, 2011 That's an easy mistake to make. I've done the same thing more often than I like to admit. It’s a mistake that I make much more often with the M9 than the M8. On the M8, I knew that I always had to press SET to display the menu of settings, then press it again to confirm a selected menu item. But the most common setting change on the M9 is ISO, and this uses different rules – press and hold the ISO button, highlight the desired value, then release the ISO button. I used to work in the aerospace industry and did some design work on man-machine interfaces. Having two sets of rules on a single control panel would have been considered as “an accident waiting to happen”. In the case of the M9, it’s a mistake waiting to happen. On the M9, the one button that could usefully use a different rule from the others is the INFO button. The screen that is displayed contains no settings and only needs to be quickly glanced at. Push to illuminate and release to darken might have been a useful (user-selectable?) option. But I think it better to have all control buttons following the same rule. A value that has to be confirmed after being selected should have a strong visual clue (change of colour or flashing on and off) that will remind the user that a further action is needed. The current visual cue (the value being contained in a small box) is a relatively weak one. Best regards, Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
