Adobe Digital Negative Specification

If you’ve got a camera that provides a raw format, then you might have already discovered how much extra editing power and image quality raw format can provide. You’ve probably also discovered what a workflow hassle raw format creates. To attempt to ease this workflow confusion, Adobe has proposed a solution. Will it work? Is it right for you?
