Adobe Dng (digital Negative)

[tehtarik]

Downloaded the software last week and been using it since then. all i can is that it converted NEFs faster than using the Adobe PS CS 2.3 plugin.

From Adobe website on DNG (http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/main.html)

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.



Has anyone tried it? Care to share experience(s?)

Yup, I have downloaded the programme too but have yet to try it in depth. I'm in the midst of refining my image processing steps. Think with these advancements it should make it relatively easier to produce a better quality final results.

DNG may be the way to go for all future image source and conversions.
