Converting DNG to RAW
"Alfred Molon" wrote in message ... Is it possible? -- I know from my experience with converting CR2 files to DNG, if you chose to imbed the original raw file within the DNG when you converted it then yes, you can extract the original raw file. Otherwise.... not that I know of. |

DNG is RAW. No. I mean the original format. Can you go back? -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 7070, 8080, E3X0, E4X0 and E5X0 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Maybe yes, maybe no; what's the original format? ORF, NEF, CRW whatever. Since all information (apparently) is contained in the DNG, it should be possible to convert back to RAW. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 7070, 8080, E3X0, E4X0 and E5X0 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

The reason for doing this in the first place indicates you would not want to do this. Long answer is that most vendors embedd private data in RAW files that can't be carried over to the DNG (Nikon "encypts" white balance information for instance), so it is not possible to legitimately do so. -- Thomas T.

Since all information (apparently) is contained in the DNG, it should be possible to convert back to RAW. Not all the metadata information is in the DNG. Nikon, for instance, encrypts white balance information in the NEF that is not accessible to the DNG. -- Thomas T.

Converting DNG to RAW
What's the file size of a DNG with embedded info compared to the original
raw file? "Thomas T. Veldhouse" wrote in message .. . Only if you embedd it. If you convert to DNG and don't embedd, why would you want to go back? The reason for doing this in the first place indicates you would not want to do this. |
