munky Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi, I'm having trouble with RAW conversion to DNG, using Adobe's DNG Converter 3.5. Using 3.5 (which is a unibin), the output DNG files are always tiny, like postage stamp size and resolution. Under 3.1 (powerpc) it was fine. I've tried 3.6beta, same result. WEIRDLY, if I choose to run the converter via Rosetta, it all works fine!! So if anyone else has trouble with DNG Converter, try Rosetta.

munky Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 ok, ive dug into this a little further. first, some background: my camera's RAW (Pentax *ist DL2) is not directly supported by Mac OS X, but its predecessor (Pentax *ist DL) is, and a simple edit of Raw.plist enables me to use Aperture, Preview etc to work with RAW files from this camera, provided they're wrapped in a DNG. ok, so far so what? well, i compared the output of the DNG Converter running natively (bad.dng) to that of it running via Rosetta (good.dng). The 'good' file (the one which works correctly) is 4 bytes longer than the other one. i used 'split' to chop the 4 bytes off the end of the 'good' file, then compared the two (now identically-sized) files. they still differ. why on earth are these files different? why does native execution make a file which renders to be a postage stamp size, even in Aperture?

RiceTea Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 This reminds of a situation when I opened Nikon RAW files with PS, which were misnamed as tif-files (xxx.tif instead of xxx.nef). All I got to see were tiny stamp-sized images, I concluded that these mini-images must have been in fact jpg-pics embedded in the RAW data. Your troubles sound vaguely reminiscent to this. Renaming from tif to nef (that´s how Nikon names RAW-files) solved my problem. Any good? ok, ive dug into this a little further. first, some background: my camera's RAW (Pentax *ist DL2) is not directly supported by Mac OS X, but its predecessor (Pentax *ist DL) is, and a simple edit of Raw.plist enables me to use Aperture, Preview etc to work with RAW files from this camera, provided they're wrapped in a DNG. ok, so far so what? well, i compared the output of the DNG Converter running natively (bad.dng) to that of it running via Rosetta (good.dng).
