Convert to DNG implementation
« on: May 02, 2014, 07:42:56 PM »
It would be great if you could implement this- it apparently is in the menu system but never actually was implemented.  Sigma Merrill owners (incl. me) would greatly appreciate this, and I bet you could pick up a good number of new clients if it were available.

It already exists as a command in the Tools menu.  Is it not working for you?

Since I've been trying different workflows to come up with one that works with multiple raw formats, I've used the selection from the Tools menu and it's worked fine.  It does require Adobe's DNG converter to be installed on the system, at least in Windows.

Yes, absolutely, PM does not itself do DNG conversions and must rely on Adobe's free DNG Converter to be present.  As long as your DNG Converter application is kept up to date, you'll have support for the latest camera models.
