<a>"2) What is DNG?</a>
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;">DNG is also considered to be a RAW image file. It is Adobe’s proprietary image standard that was created to store image data in a generic, highly-compatible format, unlike RAW files that have specific formats based on manufacturer and camera type. Although DNG was invented by Adobe and is supported in all Adobe applications, there are other companies like Leica and Hasselblad that adopted this standard and use it in their cameras as their native RAW file format. Pentax use DNG as well as their PEF files".
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;">
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;"> Just as an example, Adobe CS6 no longer updates new proprietary RAW camera files, so the Nikon D500 NEF files (Nikon's RAW system) are not supported, that means I have to use "Adobe DNG converter" to convert the D500's NEFs into DNG files before I can process them.
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;"> In effect the results are the same, and the DNG files function as if they were NEFs, the DNG EXIF keeps exposure details, although compatibility with Nikon's viewer is lost.
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;">In order to process further you will have to transform the format to....TIFF... PSD....Jpg.....however you can keep either Canon's RAW or the DNG files as well as a TIFF/PSD/Jpg.
<p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;"> I save NEF D750 files or DNGs from the D500 and PSD files, if necessary I transform PSDs into compressed Jpgs for on line posting.
