With a jpeg embedded, IrfanView shows me only the jpeg - again making the DNG file irrelevant. But without the jpeg IrfanView presents the image as it is BEFORE adjustments have been applied in LR - and that's of no value to me or those that look at these old, colour-faded, dust-ridden slides. If I switch to using a much more functionally capable image viewer - like IrfanView - the DNG files are browse-able with or without an embedded jpeg. If I embed a jpeg then the image is viewable in Photos - but I'm only seeing the jpeg and not the full-fat file, so there's no point in exporting the DNG file. Win 10 Photos completely misunderstands the image size properties. However, when I tried to view the DNG files exported from LR, with no embedded jpeg (I already have a big jpeg as a standalone file), using Win 10 Photos app. For ease of use the DNG files must be directly browse-able in Windows, especially as the Adobe DNG codec frequently referred to on the Internet appears to have been effectively hidden from me by Adobe.

It also allows them to properly re-edit the images if my children have the skills and software to do it.
(2) the quality will be quickly corrupted if the images are viewed and saved multiple times. (I'm using a Nikon LS V ED, together with Vuescan).

The 2 chief weaknesses of jpeg, in my view, are (1) that even when I select an output of 1920 pixels on the long edge, at 96 DPI (I'm not catering for Apple or Android devices), the jpegs might contain as little as 25% of the available pixels I've scanned from my slides. I'm sufficiently persuaded by Adobe's argument to choose DNG as output, along with jpeg for ease of use. Download and installation of this PC software is free and 15.4 is the latest version last time we checked.
The question of the format of the images that I leave for them is key. Adobe DNG Converter is provided under a freeware license on Windows from image conversion software with no restrictions on usage. LR is the obvious choice of Digital Asset Manager, but I cannot expect my children to have or even want to have LR to hand. I'm sure this topic has been done to death here and elsewhere, but I'm obviously dumb because I don't see the answer to my specific needs:įor personal reasons I'm frantically spending all my time scanning and processing a life time collection of slides going as far back as 60 years.
