Lossy DNG isn’t so bad
You could save 80 to 90% of the size of your raw files by converting them to lossy dng. There are caveats, and it's worth knowing what you're getting into before you leap.

Lossy DNG isn’t so bad
Have you ever converted a RAW file to lossy DNG and noticed how much smaller it was? You can make the RAW file 80-90% smaller! I always thought of lossy DNG files as JPEG files saved at a compressi…Something Odd!

in reply to Bob Horowitz • • •@BobHorowitz yeah. I haven't seen many people talk about the actual difference between images. The examples I have in my blog post make me think it has something to do with lens correction. That warping looks like the pop when I correct it.
Unless it's a photo of lots of straight lines I don't think anyone is going to notice, so I'm happy to use it.

in reply to Donncha Ó Caoimh • • •I'm not in danger of running out of space any time soon. I have 1.3TB of space on my photos external drive but I just saw that in October 2023 I shot 208GB, or over 8000 photos.
So many photos are street shots that didn't work out. I already cleaned out the 27th, deleting about 60 and making over 200 into lossy DNG files.
Each of those original files is 25MB. Squashed down to about 4MB as a lossy DNG.
