Examples

1. Converting Mobile DNG for Social Media

Travel Blogger

Background

A travel blogger captured several landscape photos in RAW DNG format on their smartphone to preserve maximum detail.

Problem

The DNG files are too large to upload directly to Instagram, and the colors look slightly flat due to the RAW format.

How to use

Upload the DNG file, set the JPEG quality to 90, increase the saturation to 1.2 for more vivid colors, and set the brightness to 1.1.

Quality: 90, Brightness: 1.1, Saturation: 1.2

Outcome

A vibrant, ready-to-post JPEG file with enhanced colors and a significantly smaller file size.

2. Resizing RAW Images for Web Portfolios

Freelance Photographer

Background

A photographer needs to upload high-resolution DNG portfolio shots to their website.

Problem

The original DNG files are over 50MB each, which would cause slow website loading speeds.

How to use

Upload the DNG file, set the output width to 1920 pixels, set the JPEG quality to 80, and adjust highlight recovery to 3 to fix bright sky details.
