[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 379611, member: 9240"] Glad you got it solved. I learned LR thru the Kelby book and started converting due to his recommendation. Outside of being an early adopter with cameras like the D750 that are no supported by LR (Adobe will issue a [I]beta[/I] version of ACR and DNG converter before full releases of ACR and LR) I have not found a single occasion where a DNG file would have served me better than the original NEF. So, I stopped converting earlier this year. As for what I do in the import process, I do not create sidecar files (LR catalog gets backed up weekly and after [I]any[/I] significant project is done), but I create 1:1 previews and apply defaults such as the application of Lens Correction and Chromatic Aberration Correction since these are [I]always[/I] applied during my editing (except on my 15mm Fisheye, so when I use it I need to unset it and rebuild the previews since you can have camera-specific import presets but not lens-specific presets). Building the 1:1 previews takes significantly longer, and tacking the lens correction adds more time, so I usually just start the import process and then come here and type away until my CPU fan stops.
