I"m sorry I guess I am computer dumb because no one says what the hell they are talking about. These abbreviations really lose me in the wind because I don't know what they mean or what they do. My grandkids know more than I will ever know. When you buy high priced software you would think they would talk in all languages, ie. the 1900's. As in NG, DNG, i'm lost....Norm---short for Norman
Hi Norm. Can be pretty frustrating. (btw there was no "NG"; last letter on the line above that was a "D" = DNG) What these guys are talking about are file formats for photographs (images). If you recognize the acronym "Jpeg" is it like that. DNG stands for Digital Negative.
