* Since I started writing this I thought I'd check to see if VuePrint was still available and it is, what's more Hamrick (of VueScan fame) has made it free (although he not updating it): Pity really, this limitation kills FastStone Image Viewer for many, (and it's a key reason why IrfanView is so very popular). One can't help that FastStone's programmer just tinkers. Does he use it in a heavy-duty extensive way or does he just tinker with it. When one sees an obviously good program but with such a glaring defect as FastStone Image Viewer has, the first question that comes to mind is how does the author/programmer use the program. Instead, when one clicks on the image it simply fills the screen but without providing some way of zooming into a section of special interest. Why FastStone doesn't have this feature is truly perplexing. The next in line for the throne is IrfanView, its difference from VuePrint is that after you map out the square you have to click on the square for it to enlarge/fill the screen-essentially it's an extra step, albeit a small one. With the mouse, you'd just map out/make a square of the section of the image you want enlarged then release the mouse key and voilà that area would fill the screen-a most invaluable feature for highly detailed/hi-res images. The 'Rolls Royce' viewer in that regard was always Hamrick's now-defunct VuePrint Pro*. However, unfortunately, I don't use FastStone Image Viewer for one very simple reason, that being the clumsy awkward way it scales images to view, essentially you cannot select a portion of an image to view as an enlargement. It even has a scaled-down version of my very favorite Photoshop adjustment tool: Shadow/Highlight but unfortunately which doesn't stretch to having tonal width, radius and midtone contrast adjustments a la PS. It has many useful features such as histograms, an excellent tree / file view with images, thumbnails or details mode and such which are quite on par with XnView.įurthermore, it has basic image editing which is fine for quick touch-ups.

Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.I rather like FastStone Image Viewer, it progressively gets better every time I come to review it. You can also display a DNG file directly in the browser. Then click 'Open with' and choose an application. If you cannot open your DNG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file.

Such a DNG file is created by programs like EdgePro and it contains a digital copy of all information (e.g. DNG is also the filename extension of virtual dongle images used by dongle emulators. Adobe design products such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, and third-party programs such as Preview and ACDsee Photo Studio support DNG image format. Camera settings and timestamps may also be saved as part of the photograph.

Such photographs are stored as RAW pixel data alongside EXIF, XMP, or IPTC metadata and CIE XYZ coordinates, and ICC profiles. DGN files saved in Digital Negative format contain uncompressed, high-resolution photographs captured by the image sensor on digital cameras manufactured by companies such as Samsung, Leica, and Hasselblad. DNG filename extension is mainly associated with Digital Negative a TIFF/EP-based RAW image file format developed by Adobe. DNG files mostly belong to Lightroom by Adobe.
