Hi Jos, You have that with Pentax converter, and probably some other from Adobe. You will probably always have some piece of software available from Pentax to do this.
My problem with DNG is that my prefered raw converter (Capture One) doesn't work with it, DNG files are larger, I don't care for Adobe's converter, and all converters that I like (Capture One and Silkypix) work with PEF, particularly for me all that outweights the benefits of storing files in DNG in prevention for the hypothetical case of a future were you cannot open Pentax raw format. I take that risk, I guess worst case scenario in twenty years I'll be running a script to convert all my images while you are using them directly ;-) Cheers On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Jos from Holland <jos_from_holl...@onsnet.nu> wrote: > Hi Fernando, > Don't you need then SW that understands PEF (of the specific camera)???' > > Fernando wrote: >> >> You can convert PEF to DNG after the fact, if that ever happens. >> >> On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 3:23 PM, Jos from Holland >> <jos_from_holl...@onsnet.nu> wrote: >> >>> >>> Bran Everseeking wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> what are the benefits and drawbacks of pef vs dng? >>>> >>> >>> Every camera brand and often every camera model has its own type of RAW >>> --> >>> 20 years from now all software can open DNG but probably not all RAW, >>> certainly not of brands that existed in the past......) >>> Greetz, Jos >>> >>> -- >>> 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. >>> >>> >> >> >> >> > > -- > 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. > -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/ -- 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.
