Nope, screw DNG. although the idea behind may be nice,I just prefer to keep my original RAF Files. And I dont think the Adobe DNG gets more love than the propriatary file formats in the future.
What would be really cool thoug is a lossless compressed RAF file format!! Its just hard to believe that my D800 36MP NEF files are around 40 MB and the 16MP Fuji RAFs come in at about 35MB....
Btw, it feels like the RAF import took significant longer than the NEF import to Lightroom...anyone else having this issue?
And my Hardware should be sufficient for Lightroom, I have a i7 3820 CPU, 32GB of RAM, a GForce GTX280, and the LR catalog and Preview files are on a fast SSD.....shure not the latest and fastest Hardware money can buy, but i guess its fast enough for some pixel pushing.
Back to the Workflow topic: Ive recently seen some tutorials from Jared Platt and although I dont agree to all and everithing he says, there are some very good points I've already picked up. Like Only do positive selections! Never spend time marking the bad pictures, only pick the good ones! Saves a lot of time since there are fewer files to mark and gives a much better feeling since you dont deal with the fails so much.
And Syncronize what ever possible.
and some more tipps...just check him out on youtube or so
