But I read an article or watched a video where “So-and-So” recommended I convert to DNG. But hey… I could be wrong (I usually am) 🙂 And since the whole DNG thing never really “took”, I don’t see them rushing to make a DNG converter built in to their programs. But a lot of folks are using other programs that don’t convert to DNG (even though they support opening it).
I have the option to convert to DNG whenever I want.
Storage is cheap.įinally, here’s a reason that doesn’t affect me but may affect some of you. Nor do I have reason enough to ever try to get it, because I’m perfectly happy with my raw files and the space they take. But, it’s supposed to be the same quality. See, DNG is supposed to be 20% smaller than the original raw file. I guess I have a fundamental block against something I just don’t understand. When my camera shoots in DNG, then I’ll probably use it.Īlso, I just trust my camera manufacturer and the raw files they give me. And if every camera and software company adopted it, I’d be all for it. But that problem doesn’t exist today, and I’m just not worried that it’ll happen in 30 years either. So in 30 years if your camera manufacturer isn’t around or some one decides to stop supporting your raw format, DNG will theoretically always be able to be read. I get why it was created – because it’s a non-proprietary raw format. Next, I believe it’s trying to solve a problem that just doesn’t exist. So then I’d have to do an extra step later. I don’t use LR’s import dialog because I like to manually put my photos where I want them. I have absolutely zero documented and founded reason for not doing it. If you find something where I said I was, it was a LONG time ago (like 8+ years) and I’ve since changed.Ī.
I’ve never really been on board with DNG. I just found an article I wrote 8 years ago where I wrote almost the same thing I’m writing here. Matt, didn’t you used to recommend converting to DNG?Ī. I got a lot of questions about it so I figured it called for a quick Q&A. I did a video the other day and mentioned something about DNG and how I don’t convert to it.
