I was hessitant about that, but have changed to converting everything to DNG lately because: - The files are much smaller (average less than 6Mb versus almost 13Mb) - RAW conversion data is kept IN the DNG file, not in external XMP files or even worse, in a database like setup ... I batch convert the PEF's to DNG, and keep the PEFs arround until I am in serious disk-space need :-) I use Adobe-bridge (CS2) to set conversion parameters for most of the images (in groups, some individual, depending on lighting conditions) Then I convert selected ones (marked/flagged) to JPG for quick WEB type displaying, and individual ones into Photoshop itself for furtehr processing. The result of that usually goes into a TIFF or PSD depending on the complexity of the work domne on it ...
