Why convert DNG to DDS?

Compatibility, file size, and quality rarely align perfectly – DDS gets closer to that balance than DNG for Game textures and 3D graphics. Converting DNG RAW images to DDS applies essential post-processing: white balance, demosaicing, and tone mapping. The result is a standard image ready for printing or further editing in any software. Most users notice the difference within the first few converted files.
