In the example, I opened a DNG in Photoshop, which made ACR open. A DNG opens just as a raw file you will see no differences there. This usually means through Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) or Lightroom, although some may use Aperture or other editing software. You edit DNG files exactly the same way you would a raw file. In other words, a raw file by Canon, a CR file, may have different data than a NEF file, which is a Nikon raw file. Each camera brand has their own format for collecting the data when an image is captured. I don’t want to beat you over the head and demand you starting converting your raw files to DNG files, but I do want to explain what a DNG is, then three things about them, to give you a taste of the cool-aid.įirst let me explain what a DNG is: DNG stands for Digital Negative and it is an “open source” format created by Adobe that effectively standardizes the raw data. Well, I definitely “drank the cool-aid” while I was there because I left being a firm DNG convert. Last year when I went to Photoshop World I arrived knowing the basic concept of DNG file types but not really seeing the pressing importance of switching over to using them.
