No. I used DNG Converter 8.3 as well as 4 other versions. Using any DNG Converter and making the conversions compatible with ACR 4.6, the file size goes from 23MB to 90MB. Go figger! I use CS3, and it works just fine. I won't upgrade to CC. I must keep my fixed costs, (overhead), down. (Retired professional photographer.) I'd like someone to fix that software, but I can live with it, knowing its weakness.

<p>Oooops!<br> When I set DNG 8.3 to support ACR 4.6, the file size was 90+MB<br> Oh, well!</p>

<p>Thank you for your persistence!<br> Got 'er done!<br> Downloaded DNG Converter 8.3.<br> Converted Nex-7 file 23.5 MB to DNG 24.1 MB</p>

I used Aaron's file and the converted file for ACR 4.6 was 81.3 MB My file from the Nex-7, AWR, 20MB converted to 90MB DNG It's the ACR 4.6 that's the problem. I wish someone would fix the DNG software. (I know nothing about writing code.)

<p>Thanks,<br> Yeah, I tried that.</p>

How so? Which version of DNG Converter? Thanks

Since Adobe states that DNG is open software, (anyone can alter it), why hasn’t anyone fixed this problem? I believe Adobe is trying to crowbar us into buying the latest software, which means more unnecessary expense. I won't use DNG to store files, just convert my raw files (AWR) so I can open them in ACR, edit them and save as TIF. Then delete the DNG files and keep only the AWR files and the TIFs

I think I'll probably just give up on DM G conversion. Who the hell cares of my files don't last 50 years.

<p>Tried Aaron's file DSC02255.ARW with DNG 7.1 (About DNG said 8.3)<br> The DNG file was 25.5MB for all except 4.6 compatibility. which was 81.3 MB<br> Alas!</p>

<p>I ran Aaron's test on DSC02255.ARW ARW - 21.4 Mb DNG - 81.1 MB</p> <p>I'll try upgrading DNG Converter, and try again.</p>

I use a Sony nex-7. My .awr file size is about 20MB. Converted to .dng is about 90MB. I can't figure it out, either.
