Adobe DNG Converter 17.3

Adobe DNG Converter for Mac (DNG) is a publicly available storage format for raw files created by various digital cameras.

Hundreds of software manufacturers such as Apple and Google have developed support for DNG. And venerable camera manufacturers like Leica, Casio, Ricoh, Samsung, and Pentax have introduced cameras that offer direct DNG support.
