I saw a youtube "Raw edit of the week" where the author J. Polin and his co work on the same raw file and compare their results afterwards. They use DNG for this, as the history stack gets saved into it and the other one can easily see which steps were taken while editing.
I wanted to do the same with a friend of mine who works with Lightroom, as a means to improve our editing skills. Could you think of an alternative - it doesn't have to be DNG if it can be solved another way.
