Editorial interest 71/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac utility that batch-converts NEF, CR3, ARW and other camera RAW files to compressed DNGs, which the page says remain editable in Lightroom and show previews in Finder.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Mac photographers managing large RAW libraries
Worth noticing: It requires macOS 13+ and Adobe DNG Converter; the page claims converted files are 3–10× smaller.

Field notes

The workflow is presented as a drag-and-drop Mac app for individual RAW files or folders, with Adobe DNG Converter named as a dependency. The page specifies macOS 13 or later and compatibility with Apple Silicon and Intel; it describes the conversion as lossy and advertises a 15-day trial, but the supplied excerpt does not show pricing.
