In digital photography, the Digital Negative (DNG) file format is a royalty free RAW image format designed by Adobe Systems. Its specification was announced on September 27, 2004.cite press release | publisher = Adobe Systems | date = September 27, 2004 |title = Adobe Unifies Raw Photo Formats with Introduction of Digital Negative Specification | url = http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200409/092704DNG.html] The same day, Adobe introduced Digital Negative to the market with its free of charge Adobe DNG Converter program. According to Adobe, Digital Negative was a response to demand for a unifying camera raw file format. [cite news | author = Kathy White | date = March 15, 2005 | title = Adobe Pushes DNG Image Format | work = Publish Magazine | url = http://www.publish.com/article2/0,1759,1776439,00.asp] Digital Negative is based on the TIFF/EP format, and mandates use of metadata. All Adobe photo manipulation software (such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom) released since the announcement support DNG.
