This question is for the true Adobe diehards here...
It's no secret I am not a fan of Adobe (and I used to work for them), but I have a new workflow that "may" force me to use their DNG Converter.
My Raw converter of choice (DxO PhotoLab 2) does not currently support some high rez RAW files I'll be shooting. So I am forced to use an intermediate step. That can either be SilkyPix to TIFF (which creates a darn near half GigaByte image file), or use Adobe DNG Converter (which downsizes the 130+ MB RAW file to 20-50 MB).
Obviously, seeing 70% of the file's data go the way of the dodo has me concerned. Should I be?
