When you click Convert, DNG Converter goes to work converting the selected raw files to DNG format using the options specified in Preferences, and displays a status window that shows the progress of the conversions-see Figure 3-10. You can use this option for your archived images just in case you need to retrieve the original raw files at some future date, but we suggest you turn it off for your working files to save space, because embedding the original raw file increases the file size considerably. Embed Original Raw File embeds a bit-for-bit copy of the original raw file in the DNG, from which it can be extracted at any time.Linear DNGs are much larger than mosaic-format ones, so if you’re thinking you can save processing time by converting to linear DNG, think again-any savings in processing time are offset by the extra time needed to read the data. This option is mostly useful if you want to use a DNG-compliant raw converter other than Camera Raw on images from a camera with a mosaic pattern that isn’t supported by the raw converter. Convert to Linear Image saves a demosaiced version of the image.You can convert a DNG saved this way to a linear DNG, but not vice versa.

Use this option if you want to be able to use all of Camera Raw’s features. Preserve Raw Image preserves the raw pixel data in its original mosaic format.And yes, the compression is truly lossless. Unless you own stock in a hard drive vendor, we can’t think of a reason to turn this off. Compression (lossless) applies lossless conversion.Preview allows you to select the size of the embedded DNG preview or to turn previews off.The conversion options are likewise very straightforward: Figure 3-9 Adobe DNG Converter Preferences.
