Heck, it wouldn't be that difficult to write a DNG-to-(PEF/NEF/CRW/Whatever) converter, if it were necessary. As I've said before, there's nothing in a PEF that isn't in a DNG file. Personally I find it somewhat hard to believe that a RAW converter that knows how to pull some magic information out of a PEF file to produce "better" converted images couldn't find the information in a DNG file if it were worth doing. -- 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.
