Description | Digital Negative format (DNG) is a lossless open RAW image file format flourished by Adobe. Adobe developed a DNG file format to fulfill some purposes they thought RAW file format couldn’t accomplish. Digital image keeping, simple, inclusive utilization by software developers, in-camera application by camera producers, multi-vendor compatibility. |
Technical details | DNG extension files are constructed as per TIFF/EP grades. DNG supports several forms of metadata. Images with raw data and without raw data are supported by this format, which results in “linear DNGs” and the natural variety. A linear DNG can control changes like color profile, HDR, etc. created by raw converters. Every converter supporting raw DNG file format supports linear DNG files too. |
