converting Compressed NEF to uncompressed DNG

Submitted by Fenny on

I have a silly question. I want to use RawRefinery with my NIkon z6iii Compressed NEF files (no, not the HE NEF's that are not supported by libraw. )

If I convert the NEFs to DNG using Adobe DNG, but RawRefinery does still crash on the DNG, probably because the embedded raw data is still compressed.

Is there a program using libraw that can read the compressed NEFs (darktable can read them) and convert them to uncompressed DNGs?

(Adobe DNG converter 'can' do this by choosing a very old compatibility standard, but that is so old that is cannot be read by RawRefinery as well.)

There is no such program in

There is no such program in LibRaw, this is RAW files reader. It's not very difficult to make it by combining LibRaw (for reading) and Adobe DNG SDK (for DNG creation).

But it's probably easier to file a bug to RawRefinery authors, instead of guessing what exactly their software doesn't like
