M240 DNG files in some DAM software...

I am have been looking at some digital asset management/viewer software and I find a problem with displaying M240 DNG files. They look OK in thumbnail but when expanded into viewer mode remain very small. Other RAW file formats, namely Canon CR2, CRW and Fujifilm RAF, display in full screen in the DAM's viewer.

 

The two I have found this problem with are iMatch and FastStone, both the latest versions.

 

I am using the latest FastPictureViewer codec pack. Oddly FastPictureViewer Pro displays M240 DNG files OK.

 

Why should these DNG files not expand in the viewers?

The thumbnails are embedded in the DNG so are easy to display. Harder is to develop the Leica DNG to show a higher resolution picture. It could just be a lack of software due to a small user base.

Brian,

I like FastStone too.

Go to Settings, RAW and do your viewing adjustments there.  I have mine set on "half-size" and get a perfect image (DNG from my M-P)...takes a few seconds to come up, as the program has to think about it.

I sort my images to show JPG's first, making a much quicker viewing experience.

 

Good program.

 

all best...

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a try.
