DNG

The DNG (Digital Negative) format is a royalty-free file format for raw images developed by Adobe. It serves as a universal standard that preserves the integrity of original raw images while allowing for easy editing and archiving. By supporting DNG, photographers ensure compatibility with a wide range of software and equipment, enhancing workflow efficiency and image preservation.

PGM

The Portable Gray Map (PGM) format is a simple, portable image file that represents grayscale images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, suitable for easy manipulation and conversion. PGM files store pixel intensity values in plain text or binary, ensuring broad compatibility across various platforms and applications. Ideal for graphic designers and developers looking for a straightforward approach to grayscale image processing.
