raw2dng

raw2dng is a handy little tool for Mac users that helps you convert RAW files from your Canon EOS 5D Mark II, especially if you're using the Magic Lantern firmware. You can turn those RAW files into DNG or ProResHQ formats in no time!

Easy to Use Utility

This utility works like a droplet, meaning you can easily add it to your Finder’s toolbar. This way, you can drag and drop files for conversion without worrying about where they’re stored.

Customizing Your Toolbar

Want to customize your Finder's toolbar? Just open the View menu, find the right panel, and drag the raw2dng icon into an empty space. It's super simple! If you want to rearrange things or remove raw2dng later on, just follow the same steps.

Drop It Anywhere!

You don't have to stick to the toolbar; feel free to place the raw2dng app anywhere on your Mac. Just drop your RAW files on its icon whenever you're ready.

Check File Support

When you load a RAW file into raw2dng, it’ll check if it's supported before starting the conversion automatically. You can keep an eye on everything through the app’s main window where you'll find a log and a progress monitor.

Your Converted Files

The cool thing is that raw2dng will create a new folder in your source directory for all those DNG files and even include a MOV file! Just remember that depending on how big your source file is, it might take some time for everything to get converted. So hang tight until it’s done before using those new files.

A Simple Solution

In short, raw2dng makes working with Magic Lantern RAW files super easy. It runs as a droplet and handles everything automatically—just look for your DNG and MOV files in the source folder once it's finished processing! If you're ready to give it a try, download raw2dng here.
