I have the Adobe most recent .dng codec loaded. I converted NEF files with Adobe DNG converter set at 1:1 for previews. I am unable to get anything except small size DNG images. The NEF files show up just fine with the full size version.
Any ideas?
Using Beta 5
Thought I would add this from support menu:

That's the problem. IMatch by default always uses embedded previews in RAW files (DNG is a RAW file in this sense). The WIC codecs then usually return the full-size embedded JPEG preview from the RAW, or the DNG.
The WIC encoder from Adobe returns a 256 pixel image instead, which seems to be a bug in the codec.
You can work around this bug by either installing a another codec (e.g. from Microsoft or FPV) or by switching IMatch to ignoring the embedded preview for cache generation: Edit > Preferences > Cache: Use embedded preview:
No. But this may have a bad impact on overall performance because IMatch then always requests the full RAW from the codec, which can be up to 20 times faster than using the embedded preview.
