Not true. I saw the rendering of the DNGs three ways. First, which an 
application called "Just looking" which directly displays a DNG", 
second, a contextual menu on the Mac which produces something called 
"Quick Look" whose appearance is the same as the first thing I just 
mentioned, but it works quicker, and, third, the appearance in LR3 
before I apply any corrections.

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats,
for they are subtle and will pee
on your computer!
