There is a slot in the package - the "MakerNote" tag. The DNG spec defines that tag. The camera writes out a MakerNote tag, but the DNG processor doesn't know anything about the contents of the tag - the only information it uses is the amount of data included in the tag. But that's more than enough to be able to copy the tag contents to any new file. Even those of us who started out with PEF files, and then ran those through the DNG converter to create DNGs, don't lose the Pentax private data. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
