It's called Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop, also accessible from Bridge. Why re-invent the wheel?

    Reinventing wheels can be fun. Especially if someone will pay your salary for a year while you do it... as a boss, this would not be my first choice.

      I come across this all too often in the print MIS/ERP and W2P realm... In-house developed software which reaches a dead-end, that has ended up costing x10-20 times the cost of a commercial system over it's development/maintenance life.

        First of all, a dng file is already a TIFF.

        Second, whoever "we" is should learn about image processing libraries. There are a bazillion of them online, many free/open source.

        Third, all major operating systems (macOS, Windows, and most Linux distros) already have support for processing dng and RAW files.

        I'd be looking at what code I could license to handle the processing and just write a front-end wrapper. But that's me.

          Thanks for replying. We are a team working to develop an app to process dng image to tiff. As we are very fresh with this concept and tried various online methods to do that. We are not sucessful yet. So could you tell us how we can do this in a proper manner.

          Use Adobe Camera Raw or any other raw processor.

          Are you serious here? If you want to develop an app and you don't know how, you hire someone and pay them to help you.

            It sounds a fun way to spend 6-12 months programming. You'd start by reading the DNG and TIFF specifications, and then writing code to parse all possible DNG, and write a suitable TIFF. You'd also need to work with a CMM for colour space conversion.

              Makes me wonder what your definition of »fun« is …
