DNG (Digital Negative)
The universal raw format designed to stand the test of time.
DNG (Digital Negative) is an open, royalty-free raw image format developed by Adobe. It was created to solve a major problem in digital photography: every camera manufacturer uses their own proprietary raw format (CR3, NEF, ARW, etc.), and when a new camera comes out, old software can't read its files. DNG acts as a universal container for raw sensor data. It preserves all the original image information—just like a proprietary raw file—but wraps it in a standardized, publicly documented structure. This ensures that your photos will remain readable by software decades from now, even if the camera manufacturer goes out of business.
DNG is based on the TIFF/EP standard. It stores the raw sensor data (Bayer pattern or X-Trans) along with metadata defining how that data should be interpreted (color matrices, white balance, linearization tables). Uniquely, DNG also supports 'Linear DNG' (partially processed/demosaiced data) and 'Lossy DNG' (which applies JPEG-like compression to raw data, significantly reducing file size while retaining raw editing flexibility).
Adobe launched DNG in 2004. While initially met with skepticism, it has been adopted natively by several manufacturers (Leica, Pentax, Hasselblad, and most smartphones including iPhone and Pixel) and is the standard format for mobile raw photography.
Portable Pixel Map
The standard uncompressed color format of the Netpbm suite.
PPM (Portable Pixel Map) is the color counterpart to PGM and PBM. It is the most widely used format in the Netpbm library for storing full-color RGB images. Like its siblings, it is designed for extreme simplicity and ease of interchange between Unix tools.
PPM files come in two flavors: P3 (ASCII) and P6 (Binary). - **ASCII (P3)**: Pixels are written as readable RGB triplets (e.g., `255 0 0` for red). - **Binary (P6)**: Pixels are raw byte triplets. The header is minimal: Magic Number, Width, Height, Maxval. It does not support alpha channels (use PAM for that) or compression.
Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1991 to bring color support to the pbmplus (Netpbm) toolkit. It became the lingua franca for Unix graphics utilities.
