![]() ![]() Adobe supports the format and have also contributed it as an open standard (free to use, they provide free DNG converters, they also state that it's "royalty free" if you were a developer and wanted to include the standard in a product, etc.) For me anyway.DNG is an Adobe standard which stands for "Digital NeGative". ![]() If the editing software doesn’t contain a raw converter, then the editing can only be done on the included jpg.īut here we’re dealing with a DNG that contains a linear RGB file. However, DNG is stored in a format that’s compatible with most editing software, and the file sizes tend to be smaller than RAW. Is DNG as good as RAW?ĭNG and RAW files are similar in that they are both versions of raw image files. It says they’re faster for they stores a standard-size preview within the file itself. But thats due to compression and will result in some lose of quality. It says that the files are around 20% smaller then the native raw file. Nowhere I see what a DNG is and what the real benefits are.įrom what I read is the DNG a native raw file with another extension. I did read that article but I must say I see it as a sails talk. PhotoLab/PureRAW have no facility to do this ‘same data’ conversion.Īs already stated, PhotoLab/PureRAW demosaic the data, creating entirely new image data which is (approximately) three times the size (not counting bit depth differences, which may account for more). ![]() If the DNGs are significantly smaller, it suggests the camera is not doing very good compression or including massive preview images. I’m sure if you do all that, the PhotoLab/PureRAW files will look very trim! But… download DNG Converter, drop some files on it and click go with out fiddling first, and you’ll likely get very similar file sizes. ![]()
