As 3 different RAWconverters are in use here - each one has its own pro's and con's - I' m wondering about the best methode for storing the RAWs.
One of the converters is LR; I would like to have its RAWs and the edits as DNGs, as the edits are together with the RAWfile, which makes datastorage and -handling easier; aka catalog- and LR-independent. I 'm aware of the sidecar-option, but find the DNG-solution more elegant.
So far so good - but when using other converters like C1, or RAW Developer, they ignore the LR-edits, which is ok, as the renderengine's isn't the same anyway.
When editing a DNG with these two converters, they don't load the default camera profile anymore; it seems that DNG doesn't requires any profile.
- Is that correct?
The 2nd question:
Why does a DNG shows in non LR-converters differently up than the original RAW (CR.2) ?
- Still the original RAW is within the DNG, so its a question of profile only?
I know, that embedding the original RAW in the DNG is possible, but makes the filesize twice as big. As for C1, I have the etc-profiles, which I would like to use still in the future, but that doesn't seems to be possible when going consequently the DNG-workflow.
Any thoughts, comments and hints?
