Guest Stefan R. Posted June 5, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted June 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) How you open DNG files on MAC? Â I got an M8 to test it, I installed the Leica & Capture One LE software. Â Iphoto is not able to read the DNG files, same thing with photoshop CS, same thing with adobe lightroom. Â something wrong with the SD card? Â regards Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Hi Guest Stefan R., Take a look here How you open DNG files on MAC?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
DaveEP Posted June 5, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted June 5, 2007 Lightroom is able to open M8 DNG files without any problems. I do it all the time. However, there does appear to be a bug that the previews do not show in the import dialog if the files are on an SD card. If they on on a HDD they do show. Â However, even though the previews do not show, LR does correctly import them from the SD cards for you to view from the Library. You need to have the SD card in a reader though. The M8 does not show up as a HDD. Â If you have the C1 Le that came with the M8, you should have no problem there.... Â The current version of Mac OS does not support the M8 DNG files, so iPhoto, Aperture and Finder cannot view the files, because they rely on the OS to open them.

huwge Posted June 5, 2007 Share #7  Posted June 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stefan,  are you dragging the files to your hard drive or opening direct from SD card via reader? I tend to drag images to a new folder, eject SD and then open C1 directed at the new folder. This is a matter, at most, of minutes on a Mac Book Pro  Alternatively, drag images to your hard drive and convert to Adobe DNG files using their RAW converter, but I don't really see the need to do this.  Huw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hagen Posted June 5, 2007 Share #8  Posted June 5, 2007 Warum lädst Du die Bilder nicht direkt von der Kamera auf Deinem Mac. Nimm "Digitale Bilder" aus dem Programmeverzeichnis und los gehts.  BTW, mit CS ist es kein Problem die DNGs zu öffnen C1 ist aber besser dafür geeignet.  Gruss Wolfgang  Sorry folks, english translation follows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefan R. Posted June 5, 2007 Share #9  Posted June 5, 2007 Stefan, are you dragging the files to your hard drive or opening direct from SD card via reader?  Huw   I tested both ways, both take a LONG time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hagen Posted June 5, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted June 5, 2007 Another advice using C1. Switch of "Rauschfilter" if you don't need it otherwise you'll never get the full sharpness of you pictures. In the standard setting it's not switched off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hagen Posted June 5, 2007 Share #14  Posted June 5, 2007 exactly  Sharpening can be done in C1 as well as in PS CS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Olof Posted June 5, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted June 5, 2007 It was possible to see .DNG files direct but one of the last updates cancelled these possibility i guess they want that we buy Aperture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
