Saving a DNG file
Next, you will save your image as a DNG file. A DNG file is essentially a digital negative file that main-
tains all the corrections you have made, in addition to the original unprocessed Raw image.
Adobe created the DNG format to provide a standard for Raw files. As mentioned previously, camera
vendors have their own proprietary Raw formats and their own extensions and proprietary software to
open and edit them. The DNG format was developed to provide a standard maximum-resolution format
that all camera vendors would eventually support directly in their cameras. Right now, DNG provides you
with the opportunity to save your original Camera Raw files in a format that you should be able to open for
many years to come. Note that you can reopen the DNG over and over again, making additional changes
without degrading the original image.
1 Click the Save Image button in the lower-left corner of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Save Options
dialog box appears.
2 Leave the Destination set to Save in Same Location, then click the arrow to the right of the second drop-
down menu in the File Naming section and choose 2 Digit Serial Number. This will automatically num-
ber your files, starting with the original document name followed by 01.
