P: DNG Converter: Enable JPG conversion

Lightroom is capable to convert JPGs into DNG. The DNG Converter unfortunately currently is not. Please add JPG support to the Adobe DNG Converter. Thank you very much for considering!

Greetings all, 

 

An update for the DNG Converter is available. The June release (18.4) has an update regarding this feature request.

Wow, I was not expecting this to happen anymore after 11 years 😅
However, I thank you so much! The whole timelapse community will benefit from the performance gain this will allow us to take profit of (the work around I came up years ago, required using an external tool, which of course slowed down the workflow).

Would you consider adding TIFF support too? I guess, this should be a similar implementation, since the logic seems to be there already. Thank you again so much for picking this up and implementing it! 🤗

It's not going to happen, for the reasons stated only a few posts up.

@Miguel M H 

Read my post above. A jpeg inside a DNG is still a jpeg. It makes absolutely zero sense.

 

If you need jpeg, save jpeg.

 

DNG is for raw files.
