[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I started off converting to Lightroom DNG format at import but stopped because I was concerned that some of the proprietry information in camera makers own format was not being preserved or, if it was, the camera maker's software would no longer recognise it. I have been unable to get satisfactory reassurances so I import my raw files as they are from the camera. HD space is cheap.
