I think it was versions prior to DNG Converter v3.2 that would 'hide' certain makernotes/ private data, all later versions should have it embedded in the file. If you reprocess older DNGs with the latest DNG Converter (v4.3), it should restore the data unless it was simply elided. The DA* lenses are so new that none of them were converted to DNG with anything other than the latest conversion. I was converting all files to DNG with DNG Converter until Lightroom came out; I reprocessed all at some point. Now I convert all files to DNG on the fly using Lightroom's convert file to DNG and copy to a new format Import setting. All the lens names are interpreted correctly now.

Re: more Lightroom 1.3 improvement ...
How much would you be willing to pay to sign up for a one-day session? or a two-day? Godfrey, Over the years I've attended numerous one two day photo seminars. Everything from basic photo instruction, to specialized photoshop instruction. I recall paying as little as $75, years ago, for 2 day sessions from nationally known photogs (Lepp, Shaw, Wolfe,Planck etc). I just received a flyer from John Shaw, announcing a full weekend session (Nature Digital weekend seminar)) for $225 a one day rate of $160. For me @ this point it would have to be a very special session, taught by a nationally know persoanlity for me to spend that amount of money. At a local community college type setting, I probably wouldn't pay more than $60 - 75, depending on the specific subject being taught. I have no interest in Lightroom, so I probably wouldn't attend any session on it unless it was very, very cheap.

Re: more Lightroom 1.3 improvement ...
I've been using LR for several months, and still feel as though I've only scratched the surface, and am doing some things the hard way. I would gladly pay $100-200 for a two-day workshop; I don't think you could cover everything here in one day. Ideally, there would be facilities for hands-on rather than just lectures and demos; if just lectures demos it probably would fit in one day, but be much less effective. I don't think I'm interested in flying to SFO and staying 3 nights for it, though. Offer it in NY, and I may well be there.

Re: more Lightroom 1.3 improvement ...
I added a couple of topic suggestions to your list below. Reasonable price? I think the going rate for professional trainers is from is $795/day to $1495/day. I've been to enough one-day sessions produced/managed by professional trainers to be very leery of paying that much out of my own pocket - I anticipate short days with little content, no depth to the discussion, too many breaks with low quality coffee and stale doughnuts. (I am not talking about photography content here - these were related to my work), Given that cynical appraisal of Workshops in general, if I had faith in the competence of the presenter (and with you I would) then I'd probably pay $200-250 for a shorter, intro, first day and at the end of the day would pay $400 for the full-day second day. I know, you didn't say that this is the model you would follow, but for marketing I think you would do well to have an Intro day and a second, Advanced Techniques, day. stan On Nov 27, 2007, at 8:39 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: Thanks for the compliments, Stan and Dave.
