I hacked together a simple script today, to do the bare minimum to convert very specific TIFF files into very specific DNG files. I did this due to a camera I have coming in the mail that I want to test adapted lenses on that will likely require some software called CornerFix. Unfortunately, CornerFix only supports DNG (strange choice but makes some sense given the ware's history) and I can only get TIFF from this camera's proprietary raw files and software. It seems the only other programs that can do this require paid licenses, so this is a minimal solution to use the software.
If anyone is aware of a better approach or knows how to answer the question in the readme, let me know (or file an issue)!
Normally for this sort of thing I use imagemagick, I just checked with magick identify -list format and it seems to support both TIFF and DNG so it should be able to convert between the two

Look more closely at the output and you'll notice ImageMagick supports DNG as a read-only format (denoted by the mode: r--). So conversion to isn't possible, but conversion from should be. The OP...

Easy solution: build an AI, train it on millions of conversions from DNG to TIFF, then have it traverse the process. You just saved $50 in corporate license fees.

It does not work with TIFF files as far as I can tell - I tried before writing the tool! Thanks for the suggestion though. Edit: I forgot to add, it also did not work on the raw files when I tried...

Edit: I forgot to add, it also did not work on the raw files when I tried it, which are Sigma's x3f. In fact, due to the oddities of this format, I'd like to try keeping any editing of the x3f format in Sigma's tooling. Many of the programs that can handle it don't necessarily seem to do it the same way, which is surprising. Sigma made a plugin for Adobe products, to be able to read it directly, but that is also not useful for my purposes.

That's how you get my_image.tiff -> my_image.dng.png
label as joke
ah thanks makes sense
There is Adobe DNG Converter and afaict it's free.
Hard to tell if it will work for your RAW files though.
