DNG (Adobe Digital Negative)
.dng · image/x-adobe-dng · 2004 · Adobe
DNG is Adobe's attempt to standardize RAW: one documented container instead of every camera maker's proprietary format. Leica, Ricoh, drones and the RAW modes of many phones (including iPhone ProRAW) shoot DNG directly. It still is not a sharing format — convert to JPEG or PNG for that, which EditItAll does entirely in your browser.
