since the dng is directly from the camera and I believe dt understands and has samples of both, it should not matter. but you are not converting the file "after-the-fact". personally, I would use the pef's, but I am not a dev and do not have sufficient knowledge to know. and may be all wet to boot. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
