I wondered what the perceived value of converting from RAW to DNG was as leaving my files in RAW seems to have advantages (e.g. I can still use other software) and no disadvantages.

I am beginning to like it and will most likely be using it also after the 30-day trial. Here are a couple of initial results, which also gives me an opportunity to show you LUGger Jack Milton and his wife, whom I met for dinner in Amsterdam Tuesday night: http://www.streetpics.eu/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=157 Both images were converted to DNG during import (from the original RAW files), then the usual levels adjustments and conversion to B&W, then export as JPEG. Not a bad workflow at all. Nathan _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
