P: DNG Converter: Enable JPG conversion

That is all well known. Still, Lightroom is able to put a DNG wrapper around a JPG or TIFF, so it would be awesome if DNG Converte could too. We'd need this for LRTimelapse's workflow for time lapse processing.

As Granny said- "You cannot make a silk purse from a sow's ear."
Briefly-
DNG files are fully un-processed RAW files with 14-bit data.
JPG files are compressed "lossy" 8-bit rendered files.
There is little point in converting JPG to DNG as you cannot recover lost quality and lost image data from the jpg.
And you can open JPG files in ACR, (from Bridge CTRL+R) but you will not have the full range of edit benefits that a 'true' raw image provides.

Hi, Adobe, this would be great. There's nothing like flexibility in software.

I support Gunther's request.

I agree, please add JPG support to the DNG Converter.

I, too, support this request.

It seems that Lightroom is the only way to batch convert (=export) a full batch of non raw format pictures to DNG. (I don't know for CC with Bridge).
A lot of Elements users deeply regret that you can't use the Organizer to open non raw files in ACR. In recent versions of the editor, you can open several non raw files at the same time in ACR, which is good. However, you have to 'save' them individually to DNG in the limited ACR dialog version. Letting the DNGconverter do the conversion like in Lightroom would be a very good solution.

I am in for Gunther's request as well.

Cheers

Still not implemented in DngConverter 8.8. :-(
It would be nice to get a statement from Adobe, why DngConverter still does not allow us to embed JPGs into a DNG container (while Lightroom does) and if they would please consider to implement this!
