DNG RAW files

Most DNG RAW files based on the conventional Bayer sensor layout are supported. (If you encounter a variant that won't open, send us a sample.) Phase One DNGs willopen but may have visible seams. Non-RAW DNG files (which have already been demosaiced) are not currently supported.
Unsupported or partially supported cameras

    Foveon cameras. Unsupported sensor and raw format.
    FujiFilm Super-CCD models (e.g. S2Pro, S3Pro). Images decompress and color is sane, but images are rotated 45 degrees and extra sensor sites are not utilized.
    Phase One cameras. Images decompress and color is sane, but there are dark "seams" between sections of an image.
    sRAW and mRAW modes (reduced-resolution raw) for Canon SLRs is not currently supported. (We recommend full-resolution RAW anyway for best quality and flexibility. sRAW and mRAW have limitations beyond resolution.)
    Cameras with CMYK color filter array patterns. This mostly includes a few older point-and-shoot models.

If Photo Ninja can open a RAW file but the editor shows "No Profile" for the camera profile, then it does not have a color matrix for the camera and the colors will look wrong. In this case, if you can send us a flash or daylight exposure of a standard Color Checker (classic, Passport, or SG) chart, we should be able to create a basic color matrix for the camera. Or you can can create one yourself using the profiling tools in Photo Ninja.

The as-shot white balance for most cameras is buried in proprietary makernote data. Photo Ninja can usually parse this, and it will appear in the "WB Levels" item in the "Exif Aux" section of the metadata viewer. If not, then it will attempt to match the white balance of the JPEG preview image embedded in the raw file.
