Adobe DNG SDK 1.2

This Software Development Kit can be a starting point for adding DNG support to existing programs that manage images and also an aid to adding DNG support within cameras.

Major Features:

1. Key benefits for photographers:
   • The DNG format helps promote archival confidence, since digital-imaging software solutions will be able to open your raw files more easily in the future.
   • A single raw processing solution enables a more efficient workflow when handling raw files from multiple camera models and manufacturers.
   • A publicly documented and readily available specification can be easily adopted by camera manufacturers and updated to accommodate future technological changes.
2. Key benefits for hardware and software manufacturers:
   • DNG removes a potential barrier to new camera adoption, since raw files from new models will be instantly supported by Photoshop and other applications.
   • The DNG format allows for R&D savings by eliminating the need to develop new formats and simplifying camera testing.
   • A common format allows for greater control over the quality of conversions by third-party applications.
   • The specification allows for the addition of private metadata to DNG files, enabling differentiation

Requirements: Apple XCode 2.4, 2.5, or 3.0.
