If you capture using RAW-DNG format in-camera, and they're not compressed, you can re-save them as DNG with DNG Converter or Lightroom or Camera Raw which will apply lossless compression to reduce their size at which point they are the same size as the PEF files.
The only real reason to capture in PEF format nowadays is to reduce size on the camera storage card and allow for more exposures per card. There are no downsides that I am aware of to in-camera DNGs other than that. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
