Hi all,
So far, I've been keeping my camera RAW files in the camera-specific RAW format.
But I'm interested in some of the new DNG features, and so I'm considering converting my camera-specific RAW files into DNG.
Is the new DNG "fast load" actually noticeably faster? What exactly does it speed up, and by how much? It is "noticeable"?
I'm also tempted to use the lossy compression for all the not-so-great pictures that I can't quite throw away.
(It would also be nice to be able to update the embedded preview, which I can't do with my camera-specific RAW file.)
Last time I considered switching to DNG, it didn't seem necessary -- but it's getting more tempting...
Thanks for any thoughts!
