Description
DNG Cleaner removes unwanted profiles, previews and settings from DNG images, and losslessly compresses the images to save space. When used with products such as Adobe Lightroom or PhotoShop, DNG images can accumulate settings, previews, etc that just take up space and waste your time. DNG cleaner fixes that in a single step. DNG Cleaner also allows you to change the camera make and model, and remove cropping.
• Full native Apple Silicon support for blistering speed on new-generation Apple Macs
• Easy to use - just select a source folder, select a destination folder, and go.
• Removes large preview images that can needlessly take up megabytes of space, and regenerates a new set of standard previews.

Ratings and Reviews
A must-have companion to Adobe Camera Raw
Adobe Camera Raw has a serious flaw as of this writing. When processing DNG raw files from, for example, a drone like the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Adobe Camera Raw automatically applies the lens correction built into DJI's DNG files. As a result, lens distortion is applied and cannot be undone. However, the lens distortion correction is so extreme that it causes serious image degradation, especially in the corners. DNG Cleaner allows you to strip this out and then apply distortion correction later in a degree you see fit. Shame on Adobe (what's the point of a raw file if you are forced into default edits before you even touch it?!). Bravo to DNG Cleaner for providing a solution.
A must-have for Adobe users
Adobe decided to deny users the option of deciding whether to apply built-in profiles to RAW files. Not only is it annoying, but in some cases it degrades the files and makes it difficult to do things like accurate stitching. This app solves the problem by preventing Adobe products from recognizing the camera/lens used, so they can't force their built in profiles on users who don't want them.
