A single raw processing solution enables a more efficient workflow when handling raw files from multiple camera models and manufacturers. A publicly documented and readily available specification can be easily adopted by camera manufacturers and updated to accommodate technology changes. For hardware and software manufacturers: DNG removes a potential barrier to new camera adoption, since raw files from new models will be immediately supported by Photoshop and other applications.
A common format allows greater control over the quality of conversions by third-party applications. The specification allows the addition of private metadata to DNG files, enabling differentiation. Search Downloads. Adobe Camera Raw. Affinity Photo. Microsoft Camera Codec Pack. Gravit Designer. The Gimp. These profiles are copied to a common resource location. When working with raw files, the file is not compressed or processed in the camera.
Instead, software gives the user complete control over the conversion settings. For example, white balance is not applied to the raw file but is stored with the file so the software can default to the originally-intended setting. This format is freely available for other software and hardware vendors to support.
Unlike most manufacturer-specific raw formats, the Digital Negative is an openly published specification that not only is supported by Adobe, but is also freely available for other software and hardware vendors to support. Consequently, it can be a safer file format to use for long-term archival purposes.
Archiving your file as a digital negative eliminates worries that the raw file will no longer be readable once the camera format that created it becomes obsolete.
The Digital Negative specification allows for not only all of the pixel information stored in current raw formats, but also for all of the additional, proprietary metadata that many manufacturers include. The Adobe DNG Converter may, in some cases, ignore some of this proprietary metadata, and only include the basic information necessary for creating a high-quality image file. The original raw file, however, can also be embedded in the new DNG format to ensure that proprietary metadata from the manufacturer is not lost.
