Convert DNG photos to JPG, PNG

It seems like an oversight that Medai Encoder cannot ingest DNG photos to batch convert to either JPG or PNG. Please allow compatibility to do this. I hope it's not too complicated to add.

Also, I know there is a workaround using Photoshop.  File > Scripts > Image processing. But you have to select an entire folder, rather than dropping in specific photos to convert. 

Maybe others will agree this addition seems like a given?

I'd ask in the Photoshop forum. I'd consider using the Automate function on a folder of images. But it required me to manually say Open to the Camera raw app the opens to bring the DNG into PS.

 

With lightroom, I import to lightroom, no conversion required to see the files. From there, I can select multiples, right-click, export using a jpg (or other) preset I create. Or I can right-click and "edit in photoshop."

George,

 

I like @eckiAMETeam's suggestion. To sort and rate photos from trips, I use Lightroom (Classic). Lots of control over export settings. Easy ingest.

 

I keep meaning to try Bridge for the same purposes, but just haven't gotten around to it.

You can batch convert DNGs with Photoshop or Lightroom very easily. Would that be a solution?

Adobe Photoshop 2025 is the program I use. So there is a way to do a full
batch right in the program? I usually shoot JPG but in low lighting areas
I have been using RAW and that is when the files load up as DNG.

I work for a media news group and many times when I shoot raw, I have to go through every photo one at a time to convert to a JPG which is very time consuming. Also, the file size then is reduced a lot which isn't a huge problem most of the time.

How important would that be to you guys?

This would involve the whole Adobe Camera Raw Workflow as part of the importing.
