DNG Recover Edges is one of two plugins released on Adobe Labs to provide utility functions. In the case of Recover Edges, it lets you access pixels outside the normal dimensions of the file, to include all the pixels from the sensor. Sometimes this is to ensure a safe file area from the sensor, or from a camera applied Raw crop. Here’s where to get it, how to install it and how to use it.
Thanks for this video Sean – it really helped me. I was trying to get to the cropped pixels from my OM-D E-M5 images using this plugin and Adobe’s instructions don’t explain that you need to retain the .orf files when you do the conversion to dng. I originally didn’t do this and the plugin simply silently fails and doesn’t allow you to enlarge the crop. I followed your instructions and it worked.
Glad to hear it helped Gary.
