I'm not sure if I chose the right topic and device because it's on both my Macs, Ventura, and Monterey. Look at the screenshot of the .dng to understand. If it matters, this picture was taken on a Samsung phone and looks good on the phone. Maybe I can convert it to something that works better?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4
Try to use Adobe DNG converter to convert it to some older .dng version.
I read online at least some Samsung phones started using a non-standard DNG format.
Why is there always someone who doesn't understand the meaning of "standard"?
Adobe's entire goal with DNG was to have a ubiquitous semi-RAW format that any image display/editing app could understand and read.

It may matter. I read online at least some Samsung phones started using a non-standard DNG format.

I have not needed to resort to any older .dng version but AFAIR some user’s device recently needed that. A few weeks ago I tested those images and by trial and error I had to go several .dng versions back before those sample clips worked. …which version did you use?
I have really only briefly used Adobe DNG converter while waiting for macOS Canon .cr3 support. I then archived my original .cr3 images because converted .dng might not have all original metadata, but in the end that might have been overkill.
I dont know much about dng but i choose change preferences>custom>DNG 1.6 and left uncompressed and linear turned off. Is there a way to see which version i had previusly? I dont have lightroom or photoshop. should i have linear on or off?
That works. are there any downsides to using an older version?

Don't ask me. 🤣
Can't open .dng images.
