Did my NEF to DNG conversion work properly?


i had read when convert dng in lightroom (v4), file sizes drop 20% (i checked check box compression). i'm converting batch of 16-bit nefs created when scanning slides using nikon ls-5000 scanner. scans , files created nikon scan 4.0. after doing conversion in lightroom, dng file sizes around 3mb-17mb. original nef files 135mb. in world did data go? i'm concerned conversion dng threw away ton of original data. how of reduction possible? i'm hoping there wasn't catastrophic problem during conversion, checked check box delete originals after conversion finished.

 

the image quality seems okay when looking @ dng files in lightroom.

 

thanks,

jay
