When creating JPGs, an initial processing occurs in the camera. Var-
ious parameters, including contrast, saturation, black level, or edge
sharpness are set automatically. The result is then compressed
and stored. The immediate result is an image that is optimized for
various uses and a quick preview. For post-processing, on the other
hand, DNG images are recommended.
DNG files contain all raw data as recorded by the camera sensor at
the time the photo is taken. Special software (e.g. Adobe

Notes
• The standardized DNG format is used for the storage of raw

necessarily change after every shooting. That very much depends
on the object; very fine image structures result in higher data
quantities, while homogeneous surfaces mean less data.
