Company | Adobe | Graphics Interchange Format |
Description | The Digital Negative (DNG) file format is a royalty free RAW image format designed by Adobe Systems | GIF is limited to an 8-bit palette, or 256 colors. This makes the GIF format suitable for storing graphics with relatively few colors such as simple diagrams, shapes, logos and cartoon style images. The GIF format supports animation and is still widely used to provide image animation effects. It also uses a lossless compression that is more effective when large areas have a single color, and ineffective for detailed images or dithered images. |
Benefits | It is a response from Adobe to the demand for a unifying camera raw file format. Digital Negative is based on the TIFF/EP format and mandates use of metadata. | lossless |
Drawbacks | Large size. not many programs handle it | 256 colors and large files |
Metadata | Handles XMP, EXIF or IPTC |
