Of course, there are actually different versions of even DNG\'s, a fact that introduces confusion between those using older or newer versions of Photoshop. Things are never as simple as one would think. I ran into this issue recently with a student trying to use their older CS2 version of Photoshop with a Panasonic G1 raw file. She converted it to DNG at my suggestion as CS2 is dng compatible. Well, turns out it is compatible with a specific version of dng and some research turned up that she had to choose that earlier dng compatible version when converting in order for CS2 to read it. Earlier versions of PS will not read the most current DNG version. Common user problem apparently. So, all DNG\'s are not the same.
True and unfortunate. That\'s something Adobe changed recently and it\'s caused no end of troubles. As late as ACR 5.3/DNG Convert 5.3 this wasn\'t an issue, you just ran the converter and it worked on ACR2.4 and later.Adobe screwed it up and really needs to go back and fix it.
