I am not too sophisticated when it comes to computer hardware and software and have a few questions. Currently, I am very comfortable using LR6 which is freestanding and am satisfied with the post processing results using RAW files from my M10, M9-P, M9MM and SL. I also use the various plug ins such as Silver Efex Pro and DxO Viewpoint to achieve my desired effects.
I am contemplating switching over to Capture One Pro 20 when it comes out but there will be the inevitable learning curve. Also C1P does not have my preference of panoramas built in but is not an absolute deal breaker. I do export my files as TIFFs and use ImagePrint as my printer software. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to covert the native SL2 RAW file via the Adobe DNG coverter to a format recognizable by LR6?
2. if so, would there be a loss of functionality, quality or malleability in these files?
3. what would be the workflow? Would one transfer the files from the SD to the computer, then run them through the Adobe DNG converter, and finally import them to LR6?
I looked on Adobe's DNG converter and could not find a link to a list of supported cameras specific for the converter. Adobe's description for the converter includes the ability for back compatibility of newer cameras' files to be processible in older versions of Lightroom and Photoshop. Hopefully this will be possible.
