Re: NEF or TIF

After reading you question I was curious, so I typed Does Vuescan
support DNG into google.

This is the page from The Vuescan Bible that popped up as the first result.

 Nikon Scan offers the choice of saving as NEF or TIF file formats. Once I
 get them into Adobe Bridge, I'll convert them into DNG, but what are the
 pros  cons of either of the formats the scanner offers.

 I'm also thinking about getting VueScan. Does anyone know if it supports
 saving files directly as DNG?
