DNG to SIX conversion is the process of transforming a Digital Negative (DNG) raw image file into the SIX image format. This converts raw sensor data stored in DNG—an open Adobe raw container—into SIX, preserving image information according to the target format's compression and rendering rules for use in SIX-compatible viewers or workflows.

To preserve maximum image detail, convert from uncompressed or lossless DNG and choose the high-quality/low-compression SIX option.
