I use Nikon cameras and Adobe Photoshop, so have saved my photos in the Adobe .dng format. Any comments as to whether this is the best format to use?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
There's nothing really wrong with the .DNG format but it does introduce extra steps into the workflow and I'm not sure it really returns much value for those extra steps.I use Nikon cameras and Adobe Photoshop, so have saved my photos in the Adobe .dng format.

I agree. DNG gives up too much information and is not a standard that is widely available. I would stick with the raw format. Even if canon, nikon, sony abandons their raw format, it will be support for years to come. If you go outside the Adobe universe, DNG may not be readableOf course those working with Adobe software miht not come around it, but from my perspective DNG was an attempt by Adobe to achieve something similar for photos as they did with the PDF format for documents and IMHO I am happy they didn't succeed .
