what is it that no one can accept that DNG is*only* a pseudo standard,
ie: is not the same in every invocation.
it's simply the fact that there are cameras out there who's manufacturer
decided to use that extension for their in-camera generated raw files.
Pentax (option), Leica e. g. and obviously those spy devices some people
call 'smartphone' ...
And as those files are in-camera raw files it is expected that they behave
like .nef, .raf, .cr2, ...
which is clearly lack of a standard/definition and something to
avoid-if-at-all-possible.
I agree. But, unfortunately, due to people's pressure, it is (going) to become
a /de-facto/ standard. Despites its multiple lacks and defects. :-(
Not really.
Nobody calls for a .nef to be a standard e. g. - they tend to vary from
camera model to model. Same for .raf or .orf or whatever.
That's the reason for us to build a big database like raw.pixls.us - and
this is necessary.
Same here. Don't be fooled by the extension.
In my view those "DNG" are simply born from the inability or
unwillingness of the app developer or said camera manufacturers to
invent their own thing.
So they are RAW in a sense and have to be treated like all the other RAW
formats we already deal with.
This being said: never confuse this with the crazy things that a
"dng-converter" of a big company from the usa with a connected money
printing machine spits out .
