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?


Raw format offers tremendous advantages to the serious digital photographer.

Unfortunately, since every vendor has their own, proprietary raw format, getting decent software support can be a problem. Adobe’s new Digital Negative Spec might just be the “Rosetta Stone” that solves this problem. Do you need to start converting your images to the new DNG format?
