Nikon z6 and DNG converter

[unknown camera guy]

While I'm waiting for adobe to add support for the Nikon z6 I was instructed to install the DNG converter beta and uswe that. Well it doesn't work. I copy the files from the camera ising transfer 2 to a folder on the drive and when I open the converter it see the files but they are all grayed out and unselectable. Now if I open LR CC classic if sees the files and I'm able to view them but not import them.

Now I'm able to open and edit the same files in ON1 Photo 10 from 2017 and Luminal 2018.

First of all, don't use Nikon Transfer, older versions can corrupt the files and make them unreadable for Adobe software.

So if you still have the images on the camera card, copy them to your computer using the OS (Finder).

I'm not familiar with Macs, but it looks as though you are trying to select individual files, which will not work.

You have to select the folder containing the images, and the converter will then convert all raw files in that folder.

The DNG converter works at the folder level. You choose the folder that contains NEF files, but you don't open the folder. If you open the folder and then you will get the message that there are no raw files to convert.

How can I see if I have this update? I have updated everything and LightroomCC is still not importing my files. I have also tried to use the DNG converter and it is not finding my camera files at all.

In Lightroom:

Mac: Lightroom > About Lightroom

Win: Help > About Lightroom

Which camera make and model?

The DNG converter works on folders, not files. Point it to the folder where your files are stored and it will find your images.
