Monochrome2DNG, Beta 0.8: File Converter for «Monochrome-Converted» Cameras

Monochrome2DNG (Beta 0.8)

The Monochrome2DNG utility is intended to make using cameras converted to monochrome easier:

  • It takes input files from cameras that have been converted to monochrome.
  • It then saves it as “truly” monochrome DNG files, suitable for using with popular converters that support the DNG format (that is to say, almost all of them).
  • With this:
  • One can turn on automatic “monochrome” recognition and convert only the files from converted cameras (so one can process a large archive that has both color and monochrome files in it quickly, in one pass).
  • Automatic mosaic pattern suppression is supported (output files will not have 1-pixel grid patterns)
  • Several formats for output DNG are supported, which allows one to use their RAW converter optimally.
  • Filter input files by Vendor/Model/Camera serial to process large archives faster.

What would be the way to get the highest resolution RAW file from sensors that have the CFA removed. WIll appreciate if which menu options and settings could be used to get the best image.
