Digital Negative (.dng)

The Digital Negative (DNG) file extension, developed by Adobe Systems and introduced in 2004, is an open, lossless raw image format designed for digital photography. DNG aims to provide a standardized format for raw files, ensuring compatibility across various software and hardware platforms. It is based on the TIFF/EP standard and incorporates extensive metadata, making it suitable for long-term archival purposes. DNG files are widely supported by numerous camera manufacturers and software applications, facilitating efficient storage, sharing, and editing of high-quality images.

Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cals)

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
