DNG Converter - Canon S90 RAW files

These are two images taken with a Canon S90 camera. Both have been processed from the RAW image. The images on the right hand side of the page were converted with the new Adobe DNG Trial Converter, version 5.6. The images on the left were converted using the software supplied with the camera, namely Digital Photo Professional, version 3.7.0.1. You will see in both cases that the converted images are quite different, the ones using the Adobe DNG converter being more saturated but also containing more noise.
















IMPORTANT NOTE: Subsequent to posting these, I have had fantastic assistance from the Adobe Forums, and rather than delete this post, would rather like to say that the images above are the result of not quite understanding how to use the Adobe RAW software correctly. After much assistance, I am now able to view identical images in all formats - CR2, DNG and JPEG. It's just a matter of knowing what you are doing! But it did take me some time - and there's still a long journey ahead!
