I've been shooting RAW files with the K-5, then importing them into LR4.1. I've been saving them as DNG's in LR.
So now I'm beginning to question what I'm doing. The K-5 says I'm shooting RAW, not RAW+DNG. I think LR3.? said on importing images that it converted them to DNG's. Now I don't see that conversion noted when I use LR4.1. Have I really got the RAW files I shot since buying the K-5 (or K-7 or K-20), or have they all been compromised on import to Lightroom DNG's. I'm getting confused in the discussions of back-up of files, mainly because I'm importing all my images and not saving the raw RAW files directly in Windows. I think about doing the saving of raw RAW files when looking at the LR4.1. I think I'm able to improve my old images in the shadows with the new software. So am I saving the right type of files to keep the originals for future upgrades.
