Hi I recently installed a copy of Lightbox and I am just getting to grips with it. One of the things it does is comvert all my raw files to DNG on import does anyone know anything about these files? are they in any way superior to raw?

Bob, are you meaning Lightroom?
Because Lightbox as far as I know is a javascript applet for web sites - at least in the Windows world, don't know about Macs.

I think it's this one Orio:

@ Bob:

I don't have this program myself as I use a PC but according to the homepage, it's more of an image management system than a fully fledged RAW converter, so maybe it doesn't actually have a sharpening feature?

It's just a pity that Rawshooter Essentials is PC only as it does feature sharpening amongst a lot of other useful tools and is free since Adobe bought out Pixmantec. I use it myself and can recommend it.

seems they want you to change from one proprietry format to another Confused I wonder if they will keep it an open standard once they have everyone by the short and curlies?

If it forces manufacturers to stick to a common format rather than make up their own individual ones with possible future obsolesence, then it can only be a good thing.
