If you ever do need it, I think I have the codec you'll need for Window 7 Pro 64bit. I'm getting ready to replace this computer, but I'll keep it just in case. My video card is failing. No big deal for text & viewing images, but the one computer game I like to play keeps crashing. Due to the

John - I don't really need to see the dng files in Explorer because the only DNG files I have I also have jpgs of the same image - I use the jpgs to search of course and then grab the dngs to put into photoshop elements - ann On 10/4/2021 4:21 PM, John wrote: I *know* there's a "codec" that

I *know* there's a "codec" that allows DNG files to be seen in Windoze Explorer that works with Win 7 Pro 64bit, because I have it installed here. I think it's this one: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/win/DNGCodec_2_0_Installer.exe But I'm not sure. I didn't install it just now

That looks like just the thing...  I really don't have all that many files to convert but I know some are hiding in PEF only form on my hard drive.. I haven't shot with the ist_D in years _ sold it and the software for that was on a long dead hard drive .. I've been always shooting making raw

Aha!  If all you need are viewable JPGs you can use *Instant JPG from Raw*.  All it does is extract the embedded JPG from the raw file.  It will batch process -  select the raw files you want the JPGs from, then right click to open the context menu, that's where you'll find the menu item for

Ann - I found I still have a copy of DNG Convertor v9.5.1.  It's from 2016 so should still work with Win 7.  I sent you a separate email with a link to download it from Dropbox.  It's a big file (251 mB) so it will take a while to download.  Let me know if that works for you. Paul On

Ann, I have version 12.2.0.387 Adobe DNG converter. It DOES work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. It's not the current converter from Adobe that requires Windows10. It's the older one that's no longer available on their site. I just looked in my downloads folder and I still have the executable

Ann, According to a posting I've read on Adobe support forum, ver. 12.4 of DNG converter is the last one that runs on Windows 7. Adobe doesn't keep it on their download website, but it is still available from their ftp site:

Thanks for trying to help, Igor... ALAS I have windows 7 PRO - the 64 bit WIndows 7 - so the last option doesn't work... (says so specifically on line) The Adobe doesn't work either... as I don't have WIndoze 10.. oh well, it's not really critical - faststone does work. On 10/3/2021 11:29

Popping in quickly... (Sorry, I seldom get to read PDML lately.) I've always used Adobe DNG converter which works well (or at least used to). https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/adobe-dng-converter.html One thing that you'd need to choose there is the target version of DNG. I would
