[Leica] converting to DNG in LR

[afirkin at afirkin.com (afirkin@afirkin.com)]

Tina,
when I import the images, there is an option to convert to DNG and import. I 
think you can do it after its imported as well. I'm not sure if its a 
winner, but it does seem to give me some more options on adjustment, it 
allows me to "compress" the DMR files to the same size as the M8 files and 
it keeps the OLY files a bit smaller as well. Early days

Cheers

Thanks, but saturated is what sells these days - way over-saturated 
usually.  The thumbnail has to stand out in the crowd:

How are you converting the scanned files to DNG?  If I save mine as 
Tiff, Lightroom says it can't convert a non-Raw image to DNG.  If I 
save it as NEF, LR doesn't recognize the file type.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks -

Tina
