Quoting Paul Stenquist <[email protected]>:
I figure my rendering skills are always improving, so I hang onto
the RAWs. Just the other day I wanted to print a picture of my dog
who had passed away. I went back to a 2004 shot I had produced with
the *istD. I looked at the tiff and felt that it left something to
be desired. Went back and did a new conversion. The result was a
much nicer photo.
Most of the photos I care about end up as multi-layered images in
Photoshop (levels, curves, contrast, maybe a filter or custom action).
I always keep the layered PSDs (as well as the original file) so
that I can remember the workflow that produced the final image. Also
helps greatly with those 'what was I thinking' moments....
Cheers
Brian

Yep. At that point I consider the tiffs as my negative - I don't
need to go back and convert the RAW again.

1. Should I convert all the old PEF files to DNG?
If you're keeping the RAW files I'd say yes.
After a time period after RAW file conversion I generall delete
the RAW files.
Wow!
To my mind, this is like: "After a time period after making prints
from my negatives, I generally throw away the negatives". Really?
