Create a DNG File...

[ss7799166340]

Hi,

I am working on camera integration project in .NET and the desired output is DNG. we are able to read the rawdata from the camera, we are unable to convert the same to DNG format. 

any suggestions / code snippets will help us to take it further.

regards

Suresh

after converting to DNG and running the code these are the errors we are getting.

*** Warning: Missing or invalid UniqueCameraModel ***
*** Error: Missing or invalid SamplesPerPixel (IFD 0) ***

1. The warning is because UniqueCameraModel is blank.
2. The error is because you haven't set SamplesPerPixel. For the main image IFD, a LinearRaw image typically has a setting of 3 (RGB)

Note that the DNG file structure above is not a good idea.  IFD 0 should be a preview image, not the main image. Also 8 bit LinearRaw image formats without a tone curve will quite likely show banding.
