[Digikam-users] Dumb question

[Francisco Lorés Ara]

Adobe DNG Converter seems to work well (except missing text on some button) 
under Linux/Wine, I have been using it this way for some time and no problems

all my cr2 files to DNG. I did not like that the Digikam dng converter
seemed to change or zero out the default cr2 image settings dealing with
tint, temperature, and a couple others, so I went with using Adobe's dng
converter. To do that, I run it from a windows xp VirtualBox vm install. I
have that anyway as I'm still stuck on using photoshop - haven't yet gotten
comfortable with gimp - so no problem and it retains all image settings -
can't tell the difference to my untrained eyes on cr2 versus dng files.

I then remove all cr2 files to a backup drive (using command line to make it
painless) so my Digikam albums only have the DNGs and whatever I edit them
into.

So that may not work for others, but seems fine for my uses to get around
the tagging issue.
