At first i didn’t convert my files but then i found out about DNG and was very happy that it could compress my rather big files (~14mb), but by including a full size JPG file it ended up bigger then the original, this was very disappointing, then i tried medium JPGs but they looked horrible in bridge, so i tried the 3rd option -> No JPG, and the files size really came down (10-30% smaller) and somehow looked good, just like a Full JPG ( i guess bridge is extracting his own versions if none are present) i haven’t tested this yet but this way it may take longer to extract all the Thumbnails and Previews.

Either way i end up saving a lot of space and i still get the benefits.

Because your site is a little more risque, I would like to add that fr those readers that follow links back to websites - Roxy's link is probably not a "work safe" site.

YOu may or may not want to help me out. What if I want to do the reverse of what you have done here? I'm a model who recevied a disc of DNG files from a photographer. I'm using CS2 on Windows XP, and cannot for the life of me figure how to convert DNG to JPEG or PSD. CS2 will not open DNG files. I've tried a million different websites and downloads and it just ain't happenin'.Help me? <em> Editor Note: LInk is to a "non work-safe" portfolio of imagery.</em> Google search led me to your post.

I've been "struggling" with a copy of CS3 on a laptop and my 5DMII always converting the images from lr2 to .tif to work with them. This will make the process much more simple.

I convert all my Canon RAW files into DNG now. Its an extra step but, DNG is likely to be supported a lot longer than RAW (Adobe have submitted it for ISO standardisation). The files sizes are smaller, adjustments are kept with the file and the preview is embedded. The DNG convertor was a saviour in between the CS3/4 and the updated to ACR too. Great post Jason.
