Adobe DNG Converter - Convert RAW images to DNG
Adobe's Digital Native (DNG) format has some clear advantages over other RAW formats, especially when it comes to metadata and archiving for preservation purposes. The format was launched back in 2004, along with Adobe DNG Converter, which helps you convert camera-specific raw images to DNG, as the name implies. Setting everything up is quite easy, even for inexperienced users, but the software still offers enough options to satisfy veterans as well. This can give you significantly more possibilities when working with images in Photoshop or other Adobe products.
Given that there are no license requirements for the DNG format, Adobe DNG Converter is also distributed completely free of charge and it can be used for both personal and professional purposes. Downloading its setup file may take some time with a slower Internet connection, but the installation process is much faster and it doesn't involve any advanced configurations.
The entire conversion operation can be prepared and executed on a single window. Selecting a source and a destination and clicking a button is sufficient to convert your images, but you can make additional settings along the way. The software can rename the converted images, using one or more templates of your choice.
Advanced settings can be made on a separate window. Adobe DNG Converter lets you choose between several compatibility profiles, for different camera RAW versions, set a full or medium size preview for the images and embed fast load data. Additionally, you can set the software to compress the images and to embed entire non-DNG RAW files inside the output files.
It doesn't take long to complete the conversion process. Depending on your settings, the files will be stored either in the same place as the originals or in a location of your choice. You can also decide if you want to skip source images if the destination already exists before you start the operation.
With Adobe DNG Converter, RAW images can be converted to DNG files in just a few seconds, without any kind of difficulties.
Pros:
The software can process large numbers of images quite fast. The operation can be prepared in just a few seconds. Adobe DNG Converter provides you with a good number of configuration options.
Cons:
There are no obvious drawbacks to address.

Dng Profile Creator
I recently bought a used converted camera to try out infrared photography.
I've tried using the DNG Profile Editor to overcome white balance restrictions in Lightroom 5.7.1.
The Profile Editor tells me it has exported the profile I have created but the created profile will not appear in the Camera Calibration section.
When I check the profile that has been created the file is only 1kb in size. Other profiles for that camera that Adobe has created are 110kb.
I have downloaded the DNG Profile Editor a few times thinking it was a problem resulting from a faulty download but it is always the same.
Is anyone having any joy in using the DNG Profile Editor?
Thanks
