Converting Digital Camera Raw Files to the Dng Format using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Converting Digital Camera Raw Files to the Dng Format using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

I am a big fan of the Dng raw file format. Dng files hold all of their metadata internally without the need for separate external .xmp sidecar files. I believe that is a huge advantage over the proprietary, camera-brand specific, raw files that my digital camera creates. In my workflow smarter files are worth the extra step that it takes to turn a camera brand specific raw file into a Dng raw file. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom makes this conversion, this re-wrapping of the raw sensor data, super easy.
