Re: Component for reading DNG files

Yes, kind of. In fact there is a dng_sdk available from adobe in source code format with nice license. But as it's written in C and since I don't like that kind of "high"-level assembly language very much I had to ask.

A component will use exactly that code, regardless of whether you like it or not. Even if it is possible to translate the C code into Pascal, this process, plus testing and debugging, were required for every new release of the SDK.

One can use the free Turbo C++ to package the C code into a DLL, then write an Pascal wrapper for that DLL, for use with any Delphi version.
