Save .dng file very small

[Lee Snook]

My saved .dng file from Helicon Focus is only 1024x683, whereas if I save as a .jpg, it is the correct size. Why?

What's the DNG file size in megabytes?

What software are you viewing the file with? Open it in Helicon Focus and check the resolution there.

The source files were, 7952x5304-42MB.
The rendered and saved .dng is 1024x683-110MB. 110MB is a large file for this small image!! 96dpi at 24 bit depth.
I'm using file properties in Windows explorer to get this information.

I created and saved the .dng file while I was using Lite!
Now that I have upgraded to Pro, the file is the correct size.
Thanks!

That explains it! Saving to DNG is a Pro-only feature, and the DNG files saved with the Lite license will indeed have reduced resolution.
