Oops, my mistake. You are of course right, it's the Adobe DNG Converter. <g>
I was using version 2.3. I have now downloaded & installed the current version. Just re-converted the 13.1 MB .pef file with the updated DNG converter. Using the following preferences: Compression: No Compression Image Conversion Method: Preserve Raw Image Original Raw File: Not Embedded ...it's now down to a 11.9 MB .dng file (which is larger than the conversion made with v2.3 using the same settings) Using lossless compression it goes down to 4.7 MB. If I embed the original RAW file, with no compression, it goes up to 21 MB. Are you sure your not using compression? If not, I'd like to know how you getting the converted files so small. Anyway at least my software is now up to date. Thanks for making me check Shel. <g> It's getting late. I need sleep.
