I guess that Lightroom has the same ability. I would think that the file size difference when you use the dng convertor is due to lossless compression being applied to the dng files. For example a 10MB dng from the M8 typically is reduced to 5 or 6MB. This compression is truly lossless. 2009/3/12 Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> > At 12:46 PM 3/11/2009, you wrote: > >> On a side note if I run the vuescan dng through the adobe dng converter it >> then becomes only 74 megs.
