Convertng to Dng makes them more portable since you can save the raw 
settings *in* the file as opposed to in the database or in a sidecar file.

I, too, am growing to love Lightroom and will most probably purchase it very
shortly. 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.

One of my projects for this week is to really get into Lightroom and learn
its very different way of working. 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:

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.
