Do you really think that Adobe knows everything that’s in every proprietary RAW file format it supports?Ģ. Features that are specific to certain cameras (like Nikon’s Active D-Lighting and Picture Control) are not supported in the DNG format.

Precludes you from using OEM software You will never be able to use your camera manufacture’s software again. I decided to put together my own David Letterman (United States reference) Top Ten Reasons Not to Convert to DNG:ġ. I teach Lightroom and I got tired of asking students who convert to DNG why they were doing so and never getting a good answer except they read to do somewhere. I convert for other reasons, since I sometimes need to share without the hassle of sidecars. The gains of converting seem kinda marginal. But if it's stuff that's commonly used now then it's as likely it will be viable in the future. If you perhaps have RAW generated by Billy Bob's Bait Shop and Camera company, and fear support for that RAW might disappear, then sure, convert. OTOH, developers seem to be adapting to a world filled with too many RAW formats. Yes, manufacturers have proprietary non standard data generated by their cameras, but it's not the format's fault that that data isn't universally recognized.
And then he goes on to seemingly confuse the data stored in the metadata format used in DNG with the data itself. Makes me wonder if the blogger really knows that much. Software that doesn't read DNG generally won't read any other RAW either.

Like this canard: "most post-processing software packages out there either do not read DNG at all, or read it poorly, making DNG a lot less useful than it was designed to be in the first place." Huh? My Pentax uses DNG and so far I haven't found any Mac software that can't handle the DNG as well as any other format like Oly's or Panasonic's RAWs. That article has some rather suspect assertions.

At this point, they will question the worth of supporting the legacy code bases and the value to continue supporting them.
Eventually they will need to revisit the import aspects, specifically the ACR demosaic functionality. The reason I think this is, Adobe has been focused on performance, features and then stability for Lr in the past couple of releases. When will Adobe do so? I would guess within the next five or so years they will announce they are dropping support for a non-main stream early 2000s digital camera to test the waters. In terms of the last point, eventually I think Adobe will start dropping some older formats, Nikon and Canon both have for older cameras on the proprietary software. So I really do not care if it takes five minutes or five hours (slight exaggeration, but you get the idea). I tend to import at the end of the day or while doing other tasks. The majority of the comments/complaints listed in the article just do not apply to me.
I therefor believe there is better hope by having an open format that some other vendor can step into Adobe's place then someone catching up and supporting all the legacy camera formats. The result is I am basically married to Adobe Lr for the remainder of my photographic life However with that stated, there are software which can read some of the Adobe extensions and data, unlike with Apple Aperture. So I either find software that supports as many Adobe extensions as possible, or I go back to the raw files. If I drop Lr I will have to effectively redo all the edits. So at the end of the day, the built in checksum for DNG files (which has saved me twice) is worth it. I also use the make second copy feature so I have the original raw file if needed and I keep this in the backups.
