.DNG files not opening in DxO

I had been using a D-LUX 4 and shooting in .jpeg for a month and recently got an M8. So the M8 was also set to shoot .jpeg also and I had no problem opening and editing in DxO.

 

Today I decided to change the format to .DNG and DxO won't recognize any files? I can open the .DNG files in photoshop and lightroom but not with DxO. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting off somewhere? I am using DxO OPtics Pro 9 - v9.1.1

 

PS...I did some more researching on the forum ......am I reading correctly that DxO does not support Leica .DNG files???? that would be a bummer because I love DxO.....

DxO does support DNG files from Leica but indeed not for the M8.

Only for M (typ 240), M9/M9-P/M-E and X-Vario.

I remember that support for Leica was added rather recently. I'm afraid the M8 was no longer 'current' at that time.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Isn't a .DNG file a .DNG.....why would it be any different if it was produced from an M9 or an M8?

Do you know of a workaround for this or some sort of batch converter that make the M8 .DNG files compatible for DxO?

I'm afraid there are different flavours of .DNG files....

 

You could try running the files through Adobe's (free) DNG converter.

DxO is really particular about the file type and the camera (sensor).

Only native DNG's are recognized (Leica, Pentax). So, the Adobe DNG converter won't help either.

I downloaded the Adobe DNG codecs converter for windows so now I can at least see the thumbnails in my folder. I can then open the files up in PS6 and convert to .jpg so then I manipulate them with DxO. It's not perfect but it will work until someday when I get my Monochrom..

If you are manipulating them you would be far better off converting your .dng files to 16 bit TIFF files to work on in DxO rather than JPEG, supposing DxO can work with TIFF of course.

Monochrom is not supported, I'm afraid - for the moment at least.
