Adobe  has submitted their proprietary DNG RAW file format to the ISO as a proposed new standard.  Adobe will also provide a DNG-viewing codec to view DNG files right within the Windows Vista operating system.

Some of the merits of DNG according to John Knack from Adobe:

*  Converting to DNG saves disk space and eliminates the need to use separate sidecar files for raw settings.  (I knocked 1.5GB off the 7GB of photos from our wedding photographer.)

    * Because of these benefits, customer feedback indicates that 40% of Lightroom users are converting to DNG on import.  (It's a one-click set-and-forget option that's also available in Adobe Bridge CS3.)

    * DNG lets Adobe support new cameras in older versions of Camera Raw without having to constantly revise and test those versions.  Photographers and use the free DNG Converter (Win | Mac) to process their proprietary raw images to DNG.  The upshot is that we can spend our time building good new functionality instead of updating old software.
