My Adobe Elements 8 doesn't support Camera Raw 6.3 and hence the RAW files from my new compact. So I use the free Adobe DNG Converter to create DNG files from them. The converter is simple - it just creates a DNG version of every RAW file in a folder. This includes the DNG files it created itself on a previous run. (This is obviously unneccessary and must be a programming error.)

I've noticed that the DNG files are always slightly smaller than the RAW files they were made from. This includes those made from DNG files it created itself! I wonder what, if anything, is being lost in the conversion process....

DNG has a compression algorithm built in. It's apparently Lossless
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
