Title: Sinar Raw Compressed?
Post by: Mitchell Baum on November 13, 2008, 07:31:23 am

Is information lost using Sinar Raw Compressed?

Are there any disadvantages to using it?

It sure seems attractive to speed up the computer and save file space.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Mitchell

The easiest way to find out is to do a test.
Open both files at 100%.

Cheers,

Willem.

Thanks Willem and Rainer,

I'll do the test, but it's very nice to know that Rainer has had success with 75Lv compression.

Best,

Mitchell
