Sony PixelShift to DNG0.9.7 Beta Build 64

The Sony A7R-III camera offers a so-called Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode, which takes four uncompressed RAW images as the image sensor is shifted one pixel with each shot. Needless to say, processing these digital images further requires a specialized application, but the format isn't currently supported, not even by professional digital image editors. That is why Sony PixelShift to DNG comes in handy to owners of the camera model above.

Convert Sony A7R-III RAW files to DNG format for easier processing

Everything is supposed to be simple, and it is: all the steps needed to convert the RAW images are displayed within a single window, with no menus to deal with.

Define the output name pattern, and the compression mode

To begin with, you must select the location of the RAW files. Please note that you have to place all four RAW images in the same directory, as the application will gray-out the 'Analyze' buttons otherwise. The next step is to choose the output folder and select the overwriting options in case the target file exists.For your convenience, Sony PixelShift to DNG also features automatic renaming options for the resulting files. In other words, you can create a custom name pattern for the output data, which will surely make it easier for you to organize the files in your personal library.All that is left for you to do before starting the analysis and the conversion is to choose the compression options.
