As geek as you need to be if you are processing raw files 20 years from now. You want future generations to enjoy your photos: print them in archival paper, process them as TIFF 16bits . - Just to be clear- nobody is stopping you from converting your files from .PEF to .DNG as future back up, burn them into DVDs and tossing them in a safe, next to grandma's jewelry, I'm just stating that, as of today, shooting DNG restricts you from usign the full universe of raw converters out there. -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/ -- 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.
