Hi Mark, Just to clean up any misunderstanding I may have caused; last night I shot a DNG on my K20D, and open that in Capture One 4. The file is opened and can be processed; however the camera profile is not automatically recognized and the preset white balance options are reduced to "as shot" -none of the other options are present-. There might be something else I didn't catch. Let me then change what I said: Capture One does read and process DNG, but your workflow and options are better supported by this software if you shoot .PEF. I don't know if there are similar issues with other applications, I leave that to those to use DxO, Bible or other.
So what you are saying is that Capture one is broken out of the box.
So, in my case with a K20D and Capture One, and even if I decided to use DNG as archival format, I still find benefitial to shoot PEF for the slightly better support I get on my conversion tool of choice, and the better use of card space -If i need to run a batch process in my PC to compress DNG I might as well run a batch process to convert PEF to DNG- I can convert PEF to DNG anytime I want, the opposite -as of today- is not easily achievable.
I'm not quite certain why one would want to convert from DNG to PEF, so I'm not buying into the validity of your last sentence.
