The other added benefit of DNG is that the file size is about 20% smaller than its corresponding Raw file. Well, one of them is of course the fact that you’d be able to use your raw files 50 years from now even if your camera manufacturer wasn’t around or decided not to support their file format anymore. When they ask what happens to their raw file I tell them that it gets converted to this non-proprietary open file format that will stand the test of time even if a camera manufacturer isn’t around one day to support their legacy formats. Most of the people I talk to are “afraid” of what DNG will do to their original. Personally, I think it’s because there’s still some confusion about what it is and what is does to your photos. I get lots of questions on it because they think that maybe they should, but they’re not yet doing it. Most people I run into DON’T convert to DNG. It got me thinking about whether or not that was true. The question was answered by a person that said something to the effect that they thought most people using Lightroom were converting to DNG upon import. I received a question in the comment section the other day from some one asking about DNG and what the rest of the folks thought about it.
