Adobe DNG Codec 2.0
Adobe DNG Codec is a utility which allows Windows users to view DNG files via Windows Explorer and open this type of files in the Windows Photo Viewer without any need for third party applications.
The DNG format has increased its popularity in the last years as more and more software developers and camera producers have launched products which offer support for DNG files.
This type of raw file has become mainstream, unlike other raw formats, and it is the most convenient and safest way of preserving and manipulating your image files.
Even long-term archival in the DNG format is recommended, compared to other raw formats.
Other advantages of the DNG format are its lossless character and the fact that it retains an extensive list of information about images (camera model, settings).
In spite of all these benefits, the DNG format would not have imposed its authority in the industry if it were not easy-to-use and ensuring perfect functionality. With the Adobe DNG Codec, a DNG file becomes just as accessible and convenient as the common JPEG file format. A double click is enough to open the image.
You can even see previews of the DNG files when using the thumbnail view mode. DNG becomes incredibly user-friendly within minutes, after a simple and fast installation process.
When it comes to using Adobe DNG Codec, a Microsoft 7 operating system, either 32-bit or 64-bit, is perfectly compatible.
Adobe DNG Codec 2 is not compatible with Windows Vista, though, and the rapidity of opening and manipulating such files depends on the capabilities of your computer, as well.
Adobe DNG Codec just allows you to open the image. Adobe DNG Codec may not attract the attention of all average users at the moment, but in the future, being able to open the DNG format will be a must.
