Adobe DNG Converter doesn't see CR3 files from my new EOS R3

johndd — Wed, 07 Feb 2024 13:07:15 GMT

I have downloaded a newer version of Adobe DNG Converter. I have an old 7.1 and later version on my MacBook Pro that I used to convert CR2 5D Mark III files. I have downloaded 15.3 and later on a new PC to convert CR3 files from my R3 camera. But, when I go to select source folder 100CANON, I see no CR3 files. I can see them on the SC card, but it seems the Adobe DNG Converter doesn't recognize them. Any ideas?

I have not used any Adobe software for many years, but I hope some of this might help anyway. I use one of Canon DPP software, rawtherapee, or Apple Photos.app for raw development. For further editing in another program, I save a 16 bit TIFF file from Canon DPP. I set the camera to "Standard" picture style as that seems to me to work best in other programs. I set white balance in DPP. I use Digital Lens Optimizer in DPP. The rest can be done as well or better in another program.

I have never seen any individual files in Adobe DNG Converter. Only folders. Pick the right folder and hit convert.

BTW, don't erase your original raw files. DNG Converter doesn't preserve makernotes from CR3.

This has just happened to me: I sometimes use Adobe DNG Converter to make DNG files from my M50's CR3 RAW files, but it doesn't see them anymore. I updated the converter to the latest version (17.1.0.2100), but it also doesn't see them. I then tried CR2 files from my 7D and it doesn't see them either. What changed? I need to use DNG to bring them into Adobe Photoshop Elements. I normally use Canon DPP to convert to jpg, but I sometimes need to use DNG.

Never mind! I haven't used DNG Converter for a while. When you select the folder it says "No items match your search" and no files are displayed. But just clicking Convert works. I feel foolish...
