Digital Negative (DNG)

Digital Negative (DNG) is a universal file format for raw image data captured by digital cameras. It preserves the unprocessed image information directly from the camera's sensor, allowing for extensive editing and quality retention. DNG files are standardized, making it easier to store, archive, and work with raw images across different software and devices. This format helps photographers maintain the highest image quality over time and simplifies workflow management by reducing compatibility issues associated with proprietary raw formats.
