P: DNG Converter: Enable JPG conversion

[Gunther Wegner]

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!

[Geoffrey Carson]

Functionalily is key to any successful software.  I hope Adobe listens to you and provides JPG to DNG conversion.  It can only Lightroom better. 

Good luck!, 

Geoff

This needs to happen Adobe.

[klaario2014]

Those of us who do time lapse work need this functionality, especially when working with images from sUAV, smart phone, and action cameras, where original RAW images may not be feasible.

[Lumigraphics]

If you MUST have this feature, just use Lightroom where it is available.

[skidd58]

Please add this funcionality!

Team,

I support this feature request also.

Kind regards,

We need this ADOBE!!!! It's time to listen to the users...

I haven't read the entire 7 page thread, but it should be pointed out that a jpeg inside a dng wrapper is still a jpeg. I can't imagine what purpose this would serve.

[Lumigraphics]

One of the loudest cries was people who use astro software. I don't understand why they don't just hire a programmer or convince the ImageMagick folks to add this.

[D Fosse]

But why would they need a jpeg inside a dng, instead of just using the jpeg directly? Does this software not support jpeg?

Or do they think this turns the jpeg into a raw file?

[Lumigraphics]

I don't understand why they don't just save as a TIFF and change the file extension.

[Erik Bloodaxe]

...and you can also save them as DNG files from within ACR.

[egonp45679909]

yes please

[runaway62]

Yes place

[Tamborilero]

please.

[D Fosse]

Again, as I said above: wrapping a jpeg inside a DNG container is a monumentally bad idea for many reasons. First of all, it's still a jpeg, with all the shortcomings of the jpeg format. The DNG container changes nothing.

More urgently, it's a false flag. A DNG is universally supposed to contain raw sensor data from a camera, not an already-destructively-processed jpeg. If jpeg is what you need, save as jpeg.

[Miguel M H]

Please Do it! 

[D Fosse]

@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.

[markavi]

Yes would be great.

[Alluring_precision1549]

I support the request to convert jpg to dng

[D Fosse]

@Alluring_precision1549 

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