Digital Negative Specification
In digital photography and computers, the Digital Negative Specification (DNG) is an ostensibly royalty-free raw image file format Adobe Systems announced on September 27, 2004. The same day, Adobe introduced Digital Negative to the market with its gratis Adobe DNG Converter program. According to Adobe, Digital Negative was a response to demand for a unifying camera raw file format. Digital Negative is based on the TIFF EP format, and mandates use of metadata. Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 supports Digital Negative.
