[Leica] DNG

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I am guessing that is for raw photos converted to DNG outside of camera (eg 
Fuji), I think native DNG is supported but never tried....

true or not. I do not use DNG format, so it is of little concern to me, but 
those who do might want to check it out:

Worth noting that DxO Optics Pro does not (cannot, will not) open DNG files 
for the following reasons:

"Regarding DNG files. We do not offer currently support for converted DNG 
files in Optics Pro or any of our other produces. Though DNG converted files 
contain the original RAW file information, the information is no longer 
exactly as the camera body wrote it. RAW files are encrypted by their 
manufacturers, and in order to use the information in these files, we must 
decrypt the information using precise information provided to us. To do 
this, it is critical that the information in the file be exactly as it was 
written by the camera, down to the exact location of the data within the 
file. When you convert the original RAW file to the DNG format, the 
decryption information we have fails because the data has been moved.
Optics Pro is a far more precise program than the other programs you noted, 
so it is imperative that all information be as the camera originally wrote 
it to your camera card. Therefore, we currently do not have any immediate 
plans to offer converted DNG support for input files.  DxO Support Team "
