The other reason that I hate using RAW is because of I can't find the best way for the Workflow. Mine is: 1. Some critical pictures are using RAW, most (95%) are JPGs 2. Import JPGs to iPhoto (I am using Mac) 3. Import DNGs to "my pictures\capture one default session\captures" 4. Looking at the pictures that I dissatisfied in iPhoto (JPGs), then start to find it if there is any in DNG. 5. So I have so many DNGs that are unused. (which I havent delete them yet) It must be a ineffecient workflow. isn't it? please help.
