It's wider because that's what the camera actually sees. The canon firmware does distortion correction when it creates the jpeg, which discards much of the data around the edges. DNG gives you the raw data before correction. You can create a lens profile to do the correction yourself.Not being able to see your image, I'm not sure what you are referring to as "blurred". The raw can't actually be less focused than the jpeg, but differences in processing could make it look softer. If you want feedback on what you can do differently, you should upload the original files somewhere.
This is a misunderstanding. DNG gives you the raw data from the sensor. Whether you can use it to make a better jpeg than Canon is up to you. Canon's jpegs are quite good though, so you will probably have to work hard to do much better.
I have uploaded the images in the following post. If you can see it the RAW is soft while the JPEG sharp
If it needs lot of time and work to produce a little more fine JPEG than Canon does, I believe it does not worth for my project.
This is quite likely true, Canon puts a lot of engineering into getting the best quality they can. Unless you have very specific needs, working with raw is probably not worth the effort.
I am using a1400-100b-1.4.0-4153-full_ALPHA.zip, downloaded from here: http://www.mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/Is there a more stable version of this available, now that people have had a chance to evaluate this code, and if so, would someone be kind enough to send me a link?
will I notice much difference between the 1.3.0 and the 1.4.0 in day to day usage?
