A camera raw file contains unprocessed picture data from a digital cam-
era's image sensor. Camera raw files give photographers control over in-
terpreting the image data, rather than letting the camera make the adjust-
ments and conversions. When you edit the image in Camera Raw, it pre-
serves the original raw file data. This way, you can edit the image as you
desire, export it, and keep the original intact for future use or other adjust-
ments.

The Adobe Digital Negative (DNG) file format contains the raw image
data from a digital camera as well as metadata that defines what the image
data means. DNG is an industry-wide standard for camera raw image data
that helps photographers manage proprietary camera raw file formats and
provides a compatible archival format.
