We may but I will not update this forum post on that.

Prelude: For simplicity I'll only talk about Windows in the following, we have not established the status of this on the Mac. If you need the original NEF file let me know. Perhaps there is a hidden bug in the lossy DNG conversion process. I was very surprised, that JPG result is is much better than the lossy DNG for this case. The source of both DNG files was a NEF File from a Nikon D7100.Īlso interessting is, that for this excample the file size of the lossy DNG is greater than the lossless DNG. Here is the cropped JPG from the lossless DNG (file size 10877KB):īetween this JPG and the lossless DNG file is no visible difference.Īnd here a JPG from the lossy DNG (file size 13261KB):īetween this JPG and the source lossy DNG file is no visible difference. Surprisingly with this extreme example the JPG versions looks much better as the lossy DNG version of my source lossless DNG. I have an example where you can see red security lights of a great antenna on top of a mountain. The stars in the dark sky or the red lights of an aeroplane in the dark sky. It seems that the lossy DNG format has problems with dark pictures with small light sources for example I tried out the lossy DNG format with a lot of pictures.įor most pictures I can't find any visible differences.īut I found also some pictures with very noticible visible differences between lossless and lossy DNG. That being said, a similar discussion will be posted in the Lightroom Community.) This is intentional and because I would also like to know I if a doing something wrong while using Lightroom. (As a foot note: I understand that I have mentioned having problems with both LightroomCC and DNG Converter. I simply do not understand what I am doing wrong.

Importing, rather than copying, directly from the camera onto my PC, then trying to convert the imported NEF file using DNG Converter.

Using the NEF copies on my PC and trying to convert them using DNG Converter.Plugging my camera into my PC, via USB, and trying to make DNG copies on my PC, using the 'Copy as DNG' tool in Lightroom during import.Using the NEF copies on my PC, trying to using the 'Copy as DNG' tool in Lightroom.Copying the photos from the SD card, using a card reader, and then trying open the copies in Lightroom.The following is a list of the different methods that I tried using But whenever tried to covert the files, I received an error that reads 'The source folder does not contain any supported raw files.' Upon further googling and reading, I read about Adobe DNG Converter v8.8 and downloaded it from Adobe's website. So then I tried using the 'Copy as DNG' tool in Lightroom while importing, and received the same error as before. I wanted to edit NEF files, from my Nikon D5600, using L ightroom Classic CC, so when I tried importing the NEF files, I would get an error that read 'Some import operations were not performed.' When I googled the problem I read about converting the NEF Files into DNG files. YES I am only selecting a folder and not trying to open it.And any Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) updates you do to CS2 will be too old to understand the RX100 RAW files.Two things I want to get out of the way first: CR2 files by using the DNG Converter and opening the resulting DNG files directly in Photoshop CS (1).

I'm not sure what plugin you were installing, as a plugin is not required to open a DNG file. Personally, I'd go for the very latest version that runs on Snow Leopard, which is 8.3.

In the case of the RX100, that means you have to have DNG converter 7.2 or later (ACR and DNG typically share version numbers). But you need a version of the DNG converter that can grok your camera's RAW output.

Using DNG is the end run around having to upgrade Photoshop. So, for the RX100, to use the RAW files directly, you need at least CS6 and ACR 7.2. And since RAW is not a file format or a standard, and changes with each camera model, and Adobe has no time-travel capability, this means a version of ACR that came out after your camera was released and whatever version of Photoshop was current at the time, as Adobe only makes the latest version of ACR compatible with the latest version of Photoshop. :) To get Photoshop/ACR to open a RAW file directly, it must be a new enough version that groks the RAW of the camera model. Well, you've certainly run into 'The Photoshop Tax' on new cameras.
