[[DNG]] ('''Digital Negative''') is a digital camera raw image format developed by Adobe and released in 2004. Adobe also released a free DNG converter at this time which is continually being updated with compatible [[RAW]] file types. DNG is an extension of [[TIFF]] 6.0 and is compatible with [[TIFF/EP]].<br />
<br />
Adobe intends for DNG to become an archival file type, creating an open standard for [[RAW]] files. <br />
<br />
[[Metadata]] can be written directly into a DNG file.<br />
<br />
== Disambiguation ==<br />
The term ''digital negative'' is also used generically, to mean ''any'' raw image from a digital camera.<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
TIFF tag 50706 ("DNGVersion") is present. However, some files containing this tag would be better identified as a specific [[Cameras and Digital Image Sensors|raw camera format]].<br />
<br />
== Specifications ==<br />
Although the DNG specification is freely available, it makes frequent reference to the [[TIFF/EP]] specification, which is not.<br />
