As DNG files have Thumbnail OK on desktop ... but removed when moved to subfolder in My Pictures .... could it be the folder attributes for 'My Pictures' are not optimal to allow DNG

I have been using Adobe DNG converter as that was what Adobe forum advised I use. I'm happy to try something else. On point 4. The Media Info utility thinks that the Samsung DNGs are in invalid TIFF format. MediaInfo says the same 'invalid tiff' format for files converted by Adobe DNG conveter The diference was no Thumbnail until 'after' file had been openened ..... both variants of file lost the Thumbnail whan moved to MyPictures folder

As another test took a pic with camera ... it saves in RW2 format (Lumix) Media info advises little: General Complete name : C:\Users\Rick\Desktop\P1001487.RW2 File size : 23.1 MiB I use the Adobe RAW file converter and it turns it into a DNG file. Media Info advises: General Complete name : C:\Users\Rick\Desktop\0102P1001487.dng Format : TIFF File size : 18.7 MiB Writing application : Panasonic Adobe DNG Converter 11.3 (Windows) Writing library : DC-GX9 FileExtension_Invalid : tiff tif Image Format : Raw Format settings : Little Width : 256 pixels Height : 192 pixels Color space : RGB Bit depth : 8 bits Compression mode : Lossless Encoded date : 2024:02:01 14:14:23 So here is the anomaly .... an original DNG file is tagged as FileExtension_Invalid: tiff tif A converted RW2 file to DNG is also tagged as FileExtension_Invalid: tiff tif The converted file on desktop had no thumbnail, but when I double clicked to view, it then created a Thumbnail. However when I move it to a sub folder of 'My_Pictures' it once again has no Thumbnail. THis is teh file in case you want to view it https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpgp44kocbwb4ck/0102P1001487.dng?dl=0

I deleted thumbnail cache, increased cache size to 4MB and rebuilt cache. Still the same, initially all files in example folder were not thumbnails..... in aprox 30 sec jpeg thumbnails arrived and 2 of the DNG went solid colour - sometimes they then change to proper thumbnails ..... as you can see other DNG still without thumbnail.

My phone creates DNG files directly .. my camera has to have the raw files converted and I use ADOBE DNG converter to do that. Just did a test and showed something I had not realised before. File saved to Desktop ..... and it has the correct thumbnail. When I move file to a sub-folder of My_Pictures is arrives there without a thumbnail. LR identifies the RAW file whether on desktop or in a my_pictures folder Noticed another anomaly .... on my phone the selection is simply to output 'RAW' files. They arrive on PC as filename.DNG I just opened file with Mediainfo and it reports it as an invalid tiff ? (see attached)

Not specifically LR, but as my DNG photo are all for LR, there may be someone here who knows how to resolve the problem. Windows 10 and LR Lightroom version: 6.14 [ 1149743 ] If I go to a Windows 10 folder - all of the jpeg files with have a thumbnail (as do png, tiff etc) Very few DNG files will have a thumbnail (usually none) I have installed Microsoft raw image Extension .... v3 no difference Have followed the steps to kill thumbnail cache, delete it, and restart explorer ... all jpeg thumbnails rebuild (slowly) but not DNG. Have also followed the tip to uncheck 'always shows icons, never thumbnails'The advice is to click on teh top button 'apply to folders' but I can't do that as that is greyed out. (pic attached)

Using subscription ver 6.1.4 I will admit I find the Library in LR confusing at best. Normally it’s ‘can’t locate image’ issue, this one is different. Today I opened LR …. Used Library to go to folder I wanted to look at ….. folder is there and so are 17 pictures that should be there ….. however in the ‘actual folder’ on my HDD there are 20 pictures …. 3 of them are not shown in LR I tried ‘import’ but it does not show any files to import from that folder. How can I ‘force it’ to take on these extra 3 images. These are valid images, open fine if I click on them on HDD, so it’s a LR Library issue. They were all taken at same time on same camers, and same file format. <edit> In Library view I checked on 'All' (was on 'New') and it does show the 3 pictures missing, but when I click on them I get message "This appears to be a duplicate of another photo already in the catalog" What is best way to resolve

Using LR 6.12 I have a picture finshed as standard 8x10 aspect ratio This is being sent to have a canvas print made, due to pic loss at edges want to add a white border (8x10) around the image ... and then shrink image size to fit inside it .... not losing any of the image edge information. Found 'How To guide' mantioning 'stroke border' but my version does not seem to have the options. Maybe a simple way would be to 'open or paste in' and empty 8x10 picture ... then paste my image on top and then resize down leaving the white border as 8x10 ... but don't know if that can be done.

I used LR fir a long tine, and familiar with how it works. I don't use it often enough to warrant $120 a year. It's a pity they don't offer a hobby 'subscription' Several guys I knowvswitched to ON1Raw who even provide import tool for LR libraries, as you can still buy a license version. Others have moved to DaVinci Resolve Maybe when it stops working it will force the issue. I do like LR .. but not enough to pay monthly.

Assume then you have a subscription ? ...... I purchased several licenses ... over the years .. but the options ceased at 6.14 So those who had a purchased license do not get new features.

That is what I found you process and it ends up with a brown tint. Then when you switch to B&W it is corrected - hence I was not sure if changing to B&W should be earlier in processing steps. On DeHaze ... do you as in applying a DeHaze preset ? Could you explain what you mean by 'Texture has also helped' I am using Lightroom Classic, not aware of a Texture feature.

Thank you ...I had been photographing in colour, start processing with white balance, then continue as if colour. I found some ended up poor 'best ' result, so the. flipped it to B&W and it was fine. Can you share preset you use, if it's something special

I have been taking RAW images of old B&W prints (historical archives) I include on most occasions an 18% grey card so I have a reference. I take the pictures in RAW, typical sequence is Import set White balance (against the 18% grey card) crop, straighten, adjust levels adjust contrast apply sharpening Is there an optimum tine to switch to B&W ? at what point

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.14
I had a folder on my PC desktop, a small number of images had been imported into LR
Today I added more so 33 in total .... then before importing I moved the folder to its correct location.
Only the first 5 show in LR ..... all are physically in the correct folder.
If I go through the sequence ... Library (navigate\to correct folder)
It only shows the first 5
If I click 'Import' it shows them all .... and initially all 'checked' but once the thumbnails build, they all 'grey out'
The catalogue presumably does not know the are there, and won't let me import them
If I double-click on any of these greyed out files it says "Photo is a suspected duplicate"
How do I resolve this?

I am using LR 6.14 Today something went wrong during 'import' and I ended up with 3 copies of every file. OK I thought simple solution delete them all in LR, and reimport from originals - the problem is it won't re-import the files. I thought OK .. I create a new folder put copies of originals in there - and re-import from that folder. Initially, it looks fine I browse to it (in Import module) all pics show, all ticked and then after about 2-3 sec they all disappear and nothing to import. How can I force re-import of these file ?

Just moved to MAC Power Book ... have full Adobe license for Distiller and Acrobat I occasionally need to create pdf versions of emails.On a PC , I would just select 'save as pdf' - or print and select "pdf as a printer" On Mac only the installed printer shows ... no oiption for pdf, same under 'save as' - no option to select pdf. I tried plan B .. save email to documents (it is an eml file) . then from within Acrobat chose 'create pdf' ... but when I select file it says file type not supported ? Do I need to somehow add Acrobat into MAC as a printer ?

Imported a bundle of files today .RW2 As normal started up DNG conveter.... but when I point it to the folder it does not see any files to import .... just empty folder (even though 30 plus rw2 file there.) OK ... so I pointed it to previous RW2 files which it has happily converted before - same ting it sees nothing, just empty folders I then deleted DNG converter, downloaded latest version 11.3.0.197 same thing ? Rebooted PC ....same thing Deleted again, this time installed as Administrator - same thing. I'm stumped .... can anybody tell me how to fix this. As an example ... pic attached shows DNG converter open .. and I have pressed 'select folder' you can see that in the top window (import folder view) DNG converter sees no files ... yet in the lower window a standard file explorer view you can see the RW2 files are present.

Recently purchased full Adobe Acrobat Pro license. For Office 365 for PC Word is Office 365 ver 1808 (up to date) Adobe install has put a number of installs on PC ... Acrobat DC ver 2019.012 Acrobat Pro ver 2017.011 Adobe Distiller ver 17.11 Almost every time I use file>create pdf from word it fails Either crashes word, or locks up whole PC. I can sometime see it has stalled on an Adobe 'pop up window' ... where there is a progress bar and its says 'updating tags' Other times it seems to be creating file - then freezes. Occasionally if I leave it for 5 mins it will complete .... but this is very unsatisfactory,. I use MS word - print and print to the free pdf maker works fine .............. issue is only if I use the ADOBE make pdf add-in that Adobe installed into Office. I searched on this forum ... but usual answer is upgrade or run repair install ...... both have been done

Sorry if I'm a bit vague. Previously my raw files would automatically display camera profile & lens profile in LR The RAW convertor imported the files as DNG and the camera profile ... but no lens profile. You say I can add them, where do I get them from ? (never had to do this before , so new to me)

I know that in order to use KLR 6.14 with RAW files for my camera I have to use RAW>DNG converter, slightly worrying moving my pics to a propriatry standard, but not much choice. However I find that Adobe doe not have support for my lenses ....... I have a Panasonic GX9 with the very widely used LUMIX 12-60mmF3.5 nor the Leica summilux 25mm F1.4 Is there a way to add lens profiles to Lightroom ..... or obtain parameters to enter them manually

Thanks I will try to find the DNG converter and try it. If it does install profiles then I have a way forward for now. I have no doubt about your comment that Adobe has "made a choice which has proven to be in the best interest for the company", just don't agree with the second part - as it certainly not in my best interest. I could justify ~£60 for an upgrade every couple of years ..... but not £120 a year subscription, for an amateur occasional user just not economic sense. I like LR and hope your suggestion to convert to DNG works ........ Thank you.

That doesn't help at all with the questions raised though. I know there is a subscription version - but I don't want & can't afford that. I also do no want any on-line storage, I keep my images on my own HDDs Been burned once alreday by Photobucket 'hijacking my images for money' Hence my questions which are open enough questions ..... Adobe have ceased support for licensed versions. So the position I am in is that LR will load my RAW files - but no camera profile Q. Is there a way to port in the settings from the Cloud version ? Q. Or there any 3rd party sites that include a profile 'patch' ? Q I understand from another post I can convert to Adobe DNG format using a conversion utility - but does that give me any improvement over importing without camera profile ? ... i.e will it add camera profile information to the DNG file If the latter then not ideal but at least a way forward.

Unfortunately I have to go with format that Camera provides. I know DNG is a patented ADOBE format, maybe that is why manufacturers won't adopt it, unlike 'expert group standards' Anyway .... a follow on Q, looks like I am screwed that Adobe will not support my new camera - no RAW profile and no Camera profile. Is there a way to port in the settings from the Cloud version ? The Raw images import, open and will edit in LR 6.14 - but no camera profile. Are there any 3rd party sites that include a profile 'patch' ? I notice one of the alternatives for example if a camera is not supported, they ask for a set sequence of pictures and they will then provide a profile. Having bought Lightroom and invested in the time to learn it ... would prefer to find a solution rather than go buy competitor product and start again. I know form another post I can convert to DNG suing Utility - but does that give me any improvement over importing without camera profile ?
