Digital Negative Format promoted by Adobe

The Ten Thousand Year blog has reported the following:

Adobe is promoting an open specification called the Digital Negative format (DNG) according to this March 15, 02005 article by Kathy White in Publish. Adobe describes DNG as “a new, publicly available archival format for the raw files generated by digital cameras. By addressing the lack of an open standard for the raw files created by individual camera models, DNG helps ensure that photographers will be able to access their files in the future.”
