I like to convert my raw files to dng for the simple reason ... the sidecar files, i dont like those.  Is it better to use adobe lightroom or capture one for that matter to convert raw files to dng, or is it better to use adobe dng converter?  alot of my dng files just show as dng icon in my mac finder window as u can see in the attachment.

Since you ask in the Camera Raw Forum, I assume that you use Camera Raw to edit your Raw images. So why not simply save as DNG from within Camera Raw? If you open all of your Raws simultaneously, you can save the entire batch as DNG at once in this way.

I tried something goofy…I used adobe bridge to save files as dng.. I then saved the folder to my external drive (next time it’ll be directly to the drive). Previews are showing…so we shall see what happens down the road
