P: DNG Converter: Enable JPG conversion

> Maybe  3+ years is already their answer, Gunther? >

Maybe, but I've been pleasantly surprised to see some of my feature requests be fulfilled after more than 5 years waiting, and even exceed my request and expectations. So we can always stay positive if we can manage to just live long enough.<G>

I support Gunther's request, so please add JPG support to the Adobe DNG Converter.

Better to stay realistic, and question if alternatives have been properly considered.

Good, then we will stay positive that adobe may consider it in the future.

Who said it would?

There's seems to allot of people that want this functionality, including myself. What harm would it cause you to have implemented Jon?

Maybe  3+ years is already their answer, Gunther?

By the way,  LR's URL handler lets a 3rd party tool generate DNGs from JPEGs. External control might be harder with Bridge/ACR, but Photoshop would work, or maybe the DNG SDK contains an uncompiled version of the Converter? But whatever tool you use, I'd be surprised if Adobe altered the DNG Converter. Maybe there's a German equivalent of our expression "barking up the wrong tree"?

John, Lightroom and ACR aren't tools that can be well launched and automated from 3rd party programs. Please trust me that for the time lapse community my request would be very important. It's open now for more then 3 years, and I/we still have the hope that Adobe will consider it. If there would be another solution, I'd for sure have considered it. Let's wait what Adobe has to say.

DNG Converter is the batch tool specifically intended to convert raw files to DNG because of issues with proprietary raw files. LR and ACR also having that capability doesn't make it logical to duplicate other capabilities in DNG Converter. Have you looked at automating Adobe's Media Encoder? Or at automating LR?
