Adjustments to RAW, save as TIFF. Then all of my work is based on
that TIFF file.
Maybe I should clarify a little. I still make adjustments in my TIFF file,
but for adjustments like white balance, I do that in RAW. I guess in a way,
I make my fine tune adjustments in TIFF.
DNG is just another lossless format. I use 16bit TIFF since I wouldn't have to change much if I want to print it. There is nothing wrong with the other formats as far as I can tell.
Wold be nice to be able to use DNG since all the info is in one file (no side cart) the downside is producing the RAW file. I know for the BBC contest you can not use the DNG for the finals.... need the RAW file.
When converting you can have the option for converting and keeping a copy of the original RAW but sure takes up space. btw if you run into a raw format PS is unable to read converting to dng will solve the problem.
