More and more photographers are saving images in DNG. DNG is fundamentally a universal format for RAW. DNG helps ensure that photographers will be able to access their files in the future.
Key benefits for photographers:
The DNG format helps promote archival confidence, since digital-imaging software solutions will be able to open your raw files more easily in the future.
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 future technological changes.
Key benefits for hardware and software manufacturers:
DNG removes a potential barrier to new camera adoption, since raw files from new models will be instantly supported by Photoshop and other applications.
If you are saving your images as the native raw file of your camera, ten years from now you may have problems opening your raw files as the camera manufacturer may change the raw format.
Saving your images as DNG files removes this problem. If you haven't started this process, might be time to start it now.
