Dependant on which convertor and version you might need to alter a setting like update preview. You need to select lossless compression in the DNG settings. If you apply any change to the files, for example default conversion, when the files are updated the convertor will then apply the compression for you. 2009/6/22 Clive Moss <clive.moss at gmail.com> > The really strange thing is that when I tried to run the the M8 DNGs > through Adobe's stand alone DNG Converter it would not do anything.
