I have read that taking photos in RAW setting that you can do more editing etc in this format, so I took a bunch of photos for a friend while on vacation. My problem, I emailed them to him after transferring from my SD card as DNG files. He received them but cannot open them. I cannot find out how to convert DNG files to jpg files. Can anyone help? All I can find is programs like photoshop etc that are expensive.

They are an odd DNG format. I had to download the Adobe DNG converter and pick an old format so my Mac would open them. I think you can convert them to JPG too but you will not get the benefit of the raw files you mentioned.
Not to mention the file size is 6x larger than a standard jpeg. Hope your friend doesn't have a data cap.
You can also check out On1 Perfect Photo Suite (Award Winning Photography Software and Plug-ins - ON1, Inc.) ... It opens the P3P files just fine - I use it typically with lightroom - LR to manage/catalog, On1 to edit, tweak, etc.
It is not as powerful as Photoshop, but most people dont use 90% of the functionality in PS - and on1 is cheaper

Thanks for the info folks. My friend doesn't know what I am talking about. I found an online converter for free, and not being in the photography business I will set my format to jpg and avoid the problem. Also will set video to 1080p instead of 4k as I have similar problems not being abl
