Where is there no option to save as DNG when doing the "Lens Correction" as a batch process in PS?

There are only 4 output available : JPG, PNG, PSD and TIFF

Thanks.

If you're doing this from Photoshop, saving to DNG makes no sense.

At this point it's an RGB file, no longer a raw file, and saving it to DNG doesn't change that. The DNG format is just a wrapper. You'd end up with an RGB file wrapped inside a DNG container. If anyone received this file you'd just confuse them, because they'd expect a raw file but get a rendered RGB file.

Save to a standard format so it's clear what the file contains.

Let me give you some background on my process. I have DNG coming in and I want to save as DNG but only with the Lens Correction applied only.

Then I want to pass this DNG after the process to another program. Is this possible?

I don't trust and like the other program's Lens Correction.

What I'm trying to say is that a DNG is expected everywhere to contain raw data from a camera sensor. That's what DNG is universally used for.

But that's not what you're getting from Photoshop Lens Correction. Saving to DNG here would be a "false flag". It's simply the wrong file format to use.

So where does the incoming DNG come from, what does it contain? And are you sure lens correction hasn't already been applied in the raw processing?

You're not giving us this information, so I have to ask these questions before it's possible to give a sensible answer.
