You might ask the company if they would consider DNG support (it would cost them little to do so, the engineering is small, there’s no royalty fees). But I can assist if necessary in doing the subtraction in Photoshop if you can provide two JPEGs from each process.

ĭownload the trial version and try it yourself if you don't believe me. Unless ThumbsPlus is also a Nikon product, I’d find that unlikely but again, its possible for you to prove the point scientifically. This would imply that like Nikon Capture, ThumbsPlus has not only access to any proprietary processing metadata, but it would convert its thumbs exactly as Capture. If the algorithms and processing is identical, you’ll see this. Now I don’t know about ThumbsPlus but its easy to test this if you can extract a JPEG of both and subtract them using calculations in Photoshop. Its close or an exact match? DNG profiles will produce a closer match too. >Your statement that I need the proprietary manufacturer's processor to produce a match from the raw data is probably not true.

Download the trial version and try it yourself if you don't believe me - and don't forget to also download the digicam plug-in. I gave the DNG converter a pretty thorough test, and I've been using ThumbsPlus for a long time. When I open the NEF file in ThumbsPlus, it is using Nikon color libraries, and the image is great. It is a powerful editor that lets me do all sorts of esoteric stuff to my NEF files, but then I must save as JPG or TIF. When I opened a DNG and corresponding NEF (both from the same raw image) side by side, the difference was significant the DNG was dull and lifeless versus snappy and saturated in the NEF. I can double-click on NEF files and open them in the ThumbsPlus editor. Your statement that I need the proprietary manufacturer's processor to produce a match from the raw data is probably not true. No, Andrew, ThumbsPlus is actually a complete package with an editor/viewer and an optional digital camera plug-in that uses Nikon or Canon color libraries. You may need to produce the 'in-camera' file if you enter competitions or shoot for (e.g.) news organisations:

Good reasons to keep/embed the original raw file even if you convert to DNG: - You retain the option of using software that doesn't support DNG (the camera maker's own software usually doesn't, and often does a better job at a 'straight' raw conversion without additional tweaking than third party software). Only in this hypothetical case would DNG have an archival advantage.

We don't, of course, know what will happen with future formats, but the situation is unlikely to change unless camera maunfacturers both adopt strong encryption to lock out the Open Source guys, and sell Adobe the keys to allow DNG conversion.

All significant current raw formats have been reverse-engineered and the code to read them is Open Source, e.g.: All these formats will remain readable indefinitely.

You want to use an older version of ACR or LR with an unsupported camera.īad reason to convert to DNG: - You believe the hype that it's somehow more 'archival'. Well, I've been keeping raw files for some time now, not because of this issue, but because of my camera change where converting saves almost nothing.Good reasons to convert to DNG: - You use an Adobe workflow and don't like sidecars (note that some non-Adobe worflows, like Nikon's Capture NX/View NX don't use sidecars either, but store edits in the raw file). Moral of the story: Always keep the raw original file But they don't and I wish I had kept the native raw files 😕. Unfortunately, from that time when I was using the dng files, I deleted the native raw files, thinking that the dng had all the information as the raw file did. Seemed to work fine.īut since then, I have discovered that the Nikon software is superior at converting those Nikon raw files and that's what I use now for raw conversion. Clarification, in case unclear: This app is meant to be used with external cameras, importing their raw-files onto the phone/tablet. So I would DNG them and then open them in photoshop. Can write DNG files to external SD-card.

I for some years did something like this with my Nikon raw files, my version of photoshop wouldn't convert the raw since it was an older version. 'I have quite large number of photos and the space saving is quite big.
