erl Posted November 21, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I cannot get RawShooter Premium to 'see' my M8 DNG files. Adobe RAW plugin has no problems. Is there (an obvious) trick I am missing? Cheers, Erl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Hi erl, Take a look here RSP won't see M8 DNG files . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pascal_meheut Posted November 21, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2006 No, it won't. And because development has stopped, you'll have to use another software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r_smith Posted November 21, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2006 I thought that DNG was supposed to be a universal RAW file format, that all software could read? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayh Posted November 21, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2006 It has been universally adopted, just like Esperanto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter41951 Posted November 21, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 21, 2006 Erl, I've had the same problem. Unfortunately, as has been said, there's no more support for RSP as I believe it has morphed into Lightroom. If anyone can get RSP to work I'd be very happy.

erl Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 21, 2006 Pascal, John & Clayh, thanks for your replies. I am aware that development has stopped, but I am under the impression that DNG is a universal 'open' format. RSP reads DNG from my other cameras. So this is still a mystery. I really find RSP to be a fantastic program that handles batching particularly well. I hope their is a clever fix that someone knows and posts, please. Cheers, Erl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal_meheut Posted November 21, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 21, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, DNG is supposed to be an universal format but a lot of software convert only those from a few selected cameras. I wonder if this is because they cannot read the file or simply because when they do not have the color profile for a camera, they prefer to ignore it rather than doing a poor job. I remember that RSP or another software was able to process the DNG out of Adobe's DNG converter but only for cameras whose native raw was already supported .

Peter41951 Posted November 21, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 21, 2006 Since Lightroom is "child of RSP" I imagine you can do the same as you have done in RSP. When Lightroom is put on the market, owners of RSP will get the first non-beta version free of charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted November 21, 2006 Peter, I just don't like the way LightRoom organizes files its way. I have my own system established, but LR, last time I tried it, didn't conform to my way of organizing folders. Or maybe I am just not flexible, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter41951 Posted November 21, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 21, 2006 Erl, do send your feedback to Adobe via the Lightroom site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted November 21, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 21, 2006 DNG is a container format, ie. it defines how to embed your data in the common way that all programs can read. The format of the (sub)data blocks which you store is still up to you though. I think Adobe has made recommendations, but no one so far has followed them. There is enough black magic in raw file encoding that no one wants to give up their crown jewels. Given this state of affairs, the DNG format is a bit of a red herring. Sure, many programs know how to find the various data blocks in the file, but decoding them still has to be reverse engineered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbegibson Posted November 21, 2006 Share #13 Posted November 21, 2006 WHIW, C1 won't open the DNG files from my Imacon back. DNG is not particularly universal. Robbe Gibson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucek Posted November 21, 2006 Share #14 Posted November 21, 2006 Has anybody tried using Adobe's stand-alone DNG conversion software to convert these DNGs to TIFs and then feed the TIFs into whatever? Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
