Convert RAW CR2 + XMP convert them to those in the DNG file or converts just the CR2?

It's a stupid question that, somehow, after hours of research, I can't find a definitive answer for:

I have an existing photos stored in catalog. CR2 (Canon RAW) format, more accompanying files XMP sidecar on the photos I edited.  If I decide to convert those to the DNG format, is the conversion process automatically pick the changes I made in the XMP files and write the changes to the DNG format resulting?  Or is just in process of conversion convert the CR2-> DNG only, ignoring the XMP file?

Stupid question, but a very important!

Bonus question:

The conversion process leaves CR2 and XMP files in the folder as they are and simply add the DNG format in addition to those?  Or he removes the source of CR2 and XMP files, REPLACING those with the DNG format?

The default mode of Lightroom doesn't create sidecar files. There are not.

Even when the sidecar files are present, Lightroom does not use them for anything, whether Lightroom uses the information contained in the catalogue of files (except when importing, in this case the parameters of development in the sidecar files are written to the Lightroom database and then used to display the photo)

The purpose of the sidecar for other software files is indeed store development parameters, as there is no other place to put this information. However, it is not the purpose of the sidecar files in Lightroom. Where they exist, the sidecar files are simply a way to store your settings outside of Lightroom development and allows Lightroom adjustments must be communicated to other software that can read Lightroom development settings.

  • Why CS4 will not open DNG files converted from raw Olympus E - M1 files?

    For several years, I was able to use the DNG Converter to convert. My E - M1 Olympus ORF raw files and then open them for treatment in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    I have not changed preferences. I use E - M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I deleted the converter DNG several times, even reinstalled an earlier version, but nothing does not change.

    However, CS4 will open the converted DNG files from Pentax raw. PEF files of my K-5. Weird. This is the Olympus raw DNG conversions that will not open.

    I can view the DNG files converted into question in the preview of the Mac just fine, but CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Don't forget the compatibility of the DNG Converter is defined to provide support for your version of ACR:

    I am new to Lightroom and can't import my raw CR2 photo files. In the section "import", I select my SD card that contains the raw image files. All the map .jpeg files appear as thumbnails, but the CR2 files show "extract not available for this file.

    Thanks MichelBParis!  I didn't see where he said to 12 items.  I downloaded the free DNG Converter last night and not had much luck.  It is not recognizing that I have all files in the folder at all.  Don't know what I'm doing wrong!

  • Where to save the converted dng files

    When I import my raw files I automatically convert them to DNG. Can I control where the dng files are saved. For example can I place the dng in a folder with my original CD I imported the raw files are located? Currently my dng files are saved on my c drive in my picture folder, but the dng is taking up way too much space.

    Mickey

    Hi videocrafters9799abc,

    You can change the location of the files when you import, you must define a Destination folder when importing images.

    If you wish, you can move the dng files, and then reconnect them in Lightroom.

    Kind regards

  • I have a 80 d but iPhoto, Lightroom 5 & Photoshop will not import RAW (CR2) files

    I just bought n 80 d and was happy with the possibility of processing the RAW (CR2) files, but all my photo programs will not import the files, because they are not recognized. iPhoto, Photoshop and Lightroom 5.  I'm under Maverick on my Mac.  Strange thing however, Image Capture will import them. Any suggestions?

    The 80 d is a bit too new.  It is normal that updates camera RAW trolling a few months.

    I see that Adobe does support your camera if you upgrade to Lightroom CC.  See: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/03/camera-raw-9-5-now-available.html

    As for Apple, you can see a big difference between updates of the Mavericks:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201071

    vs updates for El Capitan (Mavericks is two complete versions behind):

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT205272

    Even though Apple has not yet released the Digital Camera RAW for the 80 D update, I'm pretty confident that you will find that you have to upgrade to get to El Capitan.  BTW, OS updates are free from Apple.  Just launch your app 'App Store' and check the updates and you should see which indicates that an upgrade of the OS is available for you.  (Apple has stopped selling updates of the BONE several years ago.)

  • CS4 converted dng files accepted only with the manual lenses and not auto lenses

    I have cs4 and a sony ilce7rm2 camera.  With manual lenses on the camera, my .arw files are converted to dng files using latest Adobe dng converter.  I open the dng file in photoshop cs4 without problem.  Well... unless I put an auto lens on my camera and take a raw picture, then convert it to the format dng, photoshop do not recognize!  What is going on?  The arw is converted to DNG as before... what the auto lens info says the program to not recognize?  Can I disable this prejudicial information coming from the lens?

    Hear you converted dng files are not open in photoshop cs4 or photoshop cs4 is not just specify what lens was used?

    You have the 5.7 camera raw for photoshop cs4 plugin?

    Have you tried to change the compatibility preferences in the converter dng to something like Camera Raw 5.4 and later?

  • Unable to see the NAVE converted to DNG files in Photoshop CS

    Aloha, my laptop recently broke and I'm trying to restore my laptop to the way it was.  I use Photoshop CS and back in December 2009, I downloaded DNG Converter.  I use a Nikon D90, taken in RAW.  I don't remember what I did after download the DNG converter but I was able to convert the NEF files to DNG by simpling clicking DNG icon, select the file and click on convert and the NAVE were converted to DNG files.  I have used my Photoshop CS with these files covverted.  In the restoration of my laptop, I loaded my Photoshop CS program and then did a search online for the DNG Converter.  I found a version 5.6 and later a 6.3 version.  First of all, I downloaded version 5.6.  I then clicked on the icon, the selected files and click on convert.  I can see the pictures of the NAVE being converted.  However, when I went in my Photoshop CS program, I couldn't not all DNG files even though I saw the files being converted.  I downloaded the version 6.3 and got the same results.  Also, I went in change of preference and selected Camera Raw 2.4 and later.  But I well I see the files to be converted to DNG, I don't see any of these photos converted into my Photoshop CS program.  Can someone help me?  Am I missing a step or two?  I would be grateful y ' All expertise in this matter.  Also, anyone know how to uninstall one of these format DNG converters, I downloaded?  Thank you very much, Ron

  • elements of Adobe photoshop 11 will not read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.

    elements of Adobe photoshop 11 will not read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.

    Why?

    need help!

    Hi Zach.

    Sorry to say but 12 items came out a few months before your camera. Adobe stops the files updated camera raw for the older editions of software in order to get people to buy new versions of software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.

    Work towers there but they are a lot of steps, and I think you would be the conversion of files to one format other than RAW (tiff?) and that I'm not sure that will happen the same.

    I think you just need to get a newer items.
