Wow many don’t like upgrade

Indeed. But since DxO support some dng, it depends of what the dng contains.

OK, you mean like the 0s and 1s contained in my Leica Q DNG raw files. I see your point!

Don’t know about leica dng, so don’t know the point you see.
My point was only to say it is not because you have a DNG that DxO will process it since dng is not format but a container, so it depends of what the dng contains.

It was in response to (the post before mine) :

@eriepa
And since this DNG seems to be already demosaiced, you would loose major advantage photolab produce, which is it’s demosaicing and denoising at raw stage; this is in part why you get result photolab produce.
The other part is it’s lens modules, and more specifically it’s softness correction, but I don’t know at what stage this is applied.

MarshallG’s post is flat wrong. DxO PL does open DNG raw files from Leica and other camera manufactures, so OK. However, DxO PL does not open DNG files from newer smartphones regardless of what those files contain. It’s not the container, it’s the newer smartphones.

:grin: :sweat_smile:. Yes this is what I said : Don’t rush too fast, not sure it works. :clown_face:

Even other product that produce DNG-files are not supported. For me personally I would be glad if Photolab could import DNG from Capture One and Vuescan.

Maybe it should be a step forward if even Capture One was doing like Photo Mechanic. They have an interface where you can mount the use of Adobe´s DNG Converter and as long as that RAW is supported by Photolab it seems to work. I have seen the same in FotoWare DAM. They also do the same in their application Fotostation.

There are also some good things happening :slight_smile: It is no problem now to import DNG-files exported from Topaz Photo AI - at least when I have tried it. So sometimes I wonder which side is causing the problems. I´m not entirely sure it always is DXO’s and Photolabs fault.

… but it is strange sometimes. If I try to open a DNG that originates from C1 it will be rejected BUT! if I export the same RAW-data from Photolab first and then open it and change it in C1 and export in DNG, I can open it in Photolab again. Who is to blame then??

Online manual quite good just checked it. Not super detailed as expected
