DNG Recover Edges
Most digital cameras don’t actually give you every pixel their sensor sees in the final processed output image. This is done for image processing reasons (demosaicing, noise reduction, sharpening, etc) and also to crop the final image to a specific aspect ratio.
There may be occasions where you really wish you had those few extra rows of pixels on the edge of the frame – if only they weren’t cropped out!
Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Photoshop, has written a free utility to recover the cropped edges of DNG-format images. It’s called DNG Recover Edges, it’s available for both Windows and Mac computers, and it’s only available from The Luminous Landscape.
