converting DNG to JPEG

99jon  wrote Proprietary raw files and Adobe raw (DNG) will open in the Camera Raw dialog. You first make adjustments with the sliders e.g. highlights & shadows, whites/blacks clarity etc. Then you send the image into the regular Editor. For jpeg ensure bits/channel is set to 8 bits and then click the “Open Image” button. From the menu choose: File >> Save As Choose jpeg and save.

Good explanation.

Note that if you have to convert a batch of DNG or raw files to jpeg without any further editing, it will be faster to use one of those solutions:

- From the editor: You open your batch of DNG/raw files. You select all in the ACR module and click 'Open'. You select all in the editor, then you can use the menu option File >> Process multiple files to create jpeg versions.

- From the organizer: select your DNG or raw files and use the menu File >> Export as new files.

For jpeg ensure bits/channel is set to 8 bits

That still holds true. If you set the bits/channels to 8 bits for one image, that setting is 'sticky' and will be used for further editing including batch processes.
