I use the Epson Photo Raw to make a jpg. How does you work?

Usually I convert the .ERF files to Adobe DMG, because DMG makes a slightly smaller file. (I have about 10,000 photos on my computer, so small savings add up!)
I manage the .DMG files with Adobe Lightroom, which lets me crop them and do simple adjustments to the DMG file itself. Then I can export a JPEG, TIFF or PSD file from Lightroom when necessary.
Sometimes, when I want to make a particular effect, I save the original ERF file and process it through Epson Photo Raw. Most often I do this when I want to make black-and-white images, because Epson Photo Raw does an especially nice conversion to black-and-white.

How do you convert them to DNG?

I use the open-source UFRAW plugin for The GIMP. Then save as TIFF, PNG, or JPG depending on requirements. Haven't tried the Epson software since I'm a Linux user.

I like PhotoRaw (standalone). Simple to use, suits how I work. Only thing I don't like about it is when you switch film types in processing it forgets the previous settings for contrast, etc...

I have converted all my ERF files to DNG, mostly for reasons of having a public domain file format. They come through fine when edited in Lightroom except that the white balance is pretty much uniformly too warm. Easy enough to fix, though.

I use ACR with CS2 or C1 LE. I prefer the C1 for B&W as I use the JFI profiles.

I like the look of TIFs from Epson PhotoRaw, but also use Rawshooter Pro, depending on which suits an image best.

DNG is and will be the industry standard for many years to come.
To go to Jpeg's I use Lightroom and then send to PS CS2 (soon to be 3)
then use imageReady to convert to jpeg's.....ImageReady ready does a great job of converting 16Bit to 8Bit....that's always where your highlights get lost....don
