adobe dng query
Is there any way to create a dng file other than using PS? I've looked and
can't find any. I be particularly interested in a Linux solution. Is it the case that Adobe is keeping this a proprietary format? |

Ken dng - that's the Adobe Digital NeGative format. Hi Ray... Arghhh, sorry about that. I have to learn to think before I start typing.... one of the disadvantages of getting old, I guess. Adobe has a couple of (free) converters on their site, for Windows and Mac. Unfortunately so far nothing for 'nix. Take care. Ken |

Maybe the PC version of the free Adobe DNG converter will run under WINE, got to be worth a try. Is it the case that Adobe is keeping this a proprietary format? If that were so they wouldn't have bothered to fully document it and even provide free SDKs for the platforms they support. Adobe support only Mac and Windows so if the Linux community wants a SDK converter it's up to someone to write one - all the information is already in the public domain. -- John Bean |

More RAW converter programs are *reading* DNG now but so far as taking a RAW file and converting it to DNG I think Adobe is still the best (only?) bet. I be particularly interested in a Linux solution. Is it the case that Adobe is keeping this a proprietary format? It's not a proprietary format so someone could make a Unix converter. But demand for a DNG - UNIX/LINUX solution is probably so small that few would deem it worth the effort. |

I have only recently started digging into this, and I was not aware of those resources. |

No. DNG is not proprietary. Any one can use it. As to why Adobe hasn't made
DNG for Linux the answer is simple why bother. The vast majority of Adobe's user base either uses Windows or to a much lesser extent a Mac. I seriously doubt the geeks that use Linux even hardly registers on their radar and certainly not enough to spend the money to convert. ljc "ray" wrote in message news Is there any way to create a dng file other than using PS?

Ken I just tried the Adobe DNG Converter in Wine on Ubuntu 6.1 and it worked fine.(.cr2 files from my 400D) Now the question,what can you do with ..dng files in Linux?? Dave -- |

Whatever you do with any other raw file ;-) The main advantage is size and standard metadata and workflows compared with the proprietary originals, especially if you use several different camera brands like I do. Dcraw (and anything that uses it) can of course handle DNG, as can handy utilities like Exiftool. -- John Bean |
