Q: .DNG are locked in iPhoto
Good day.
I am using Adobe DNG Conventer for my Canon RAW, to process them in Photoshop CS4
Put the converted files into iPhoto 9.4.2.
In info of the image can not see the format, the size is raw/dng like, when want to edit in the external editor(CS4) - iPhoto sends the jpg version. When want just simply Option/drag the file (big size, no format mentioned) - jpg goes out.
How can I use my DNG's after all?
Please, help.

Thoses are not technical isseus but personal choices - if the library is corrupted (I seem to remember that tD thought so althought I'm not sure that it is) then that needs to be resolved for sure - there is no risk in Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
Other than that it seems like there is no harm in keeping the old images around if you have any potential chance of needing them - if they are of no use then delete using iPhoto emptying the iPhoto trash often - remember do it in small batches as older versions of iPhoto choke on large trahs bins - and I still recommend not doing too many at a time
