I am trying to use PSE5 for converting my RAW files. The problem is the conversion is to dng & can't find a way to change them over to tiff or jpeg. Am I missing something here? Or is it not possible to convert dng files to another format?

You should be able to convert the RAW files to tiff. (no need for dng - unless you want them)

The only extension that the editor allows is dng or DNG. Unless I am missing something...

dng is Adobe's public format for RAW. I am not sure why you would need it, I was using it only because I was to dense to figure out how to save NEF to TIF is PSE5.

| i just got lightroom and i think i saw that save option there. i wondered why i would want to use it or why i would want to change the format from .nef in the first place. |

Some feel that changing from the camera's proprietary RAW (NEF, CR2, etc) to Adobe's more "standardized" DNG format that there will be less issues in conversion 10-15 years from now and choose to archive in DNG. |

hmmmm... that explains it and makes some sense, i guess, but who knows what's going to be 'standard' in 10-15 years from now. |
