Well, then other's can google
DNG is Adobe's 'Digital Negative' raw file format. Many people hope that it will provide a common shared raw file format. There's a bit of a debate about wether or not the format is the way forward.
It has the distinct immediate advantage that you can convert PEFs to DNG losslessly and have them take up around half as much disk space. There's a free utility for doing that in batch. Not all software will support them in that format, though.
Barry Pearson has collected a lot of
information about the format.
This has been a major source of procrastination to me in sorting out a workflow, as I'd quite like to use Bibble, but they refuse to add DNG support and I'd also quite like not to waste half my disk space. I can see that it's not the be-all & end-all, but I don't think we'll be getting anything better in the forseeable future.
