I raised the question some time ago on the LUG and everyone who responded said they could detect no difference between compressed and uncompressed results. By compressing the DNGs, you cut in half the file size and therefore speed up the camera's storing of the raw data. The respondents said they compressed the DNGs for that reason, not to save disc space. Herb >Well, I went and did it to myself this time: A simple camera test has >camera lust.
