What is a DNG file?
The DNG (Digital Negative) format is a royalty-free, open standard raw image container developed by Adobe Systems to address the fragmentation of proprietary raw formats. It is based on the TIFF/EP standard (ISO 12234-2) and supports linear raw data, uncompressed sensor data, or losslessly compressed JPEG streams. DNG files embed XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) metadata directly within the file header, eliminating the need for sidecar files. It serves as an archival format and is natively utilized by Leica, Hasselblad, and Pentax cameras.
How to open a DNG file
DNG files benefit from broad native support across operating systems; macOS Preview and Microsoft Photos (with the Raw Image Extension) can render them directly. For professional editing, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One provide full support. The format's open architecture also allows for seamless viewing in non-Adobe applications like Google Photos and various open-source Linux editors such as Darktable.

What is a PS file?
PostScript (PS) is a dynamically typed, concatenative page description language developed by Adobe Systems, serving as the predecessor to the PDF format. It describes text and graphics on a page using vector graphics instructions rather than rasterized pixels, making it resolution-independent. A PS file contains a program written in the PostScript language, which is interpreted by a Raster Image Processor (RIP) to generate the print output. It supports distinct imaging models, including Type 1 fonts and color separations, and became the standard for desktop publishing and high-end printing workflows in the 1980s and 90s.
How to open a PS file
Opening PS files requires software capable of interpreting the PostScript language, as modern OS image viewers do not support it natively. Ghostscript is the standard open-source interpreter used to view and convert PS files. For GUI-based editing and viewing, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW can import PS files. Users can also convert PS files to PDF using tools like ps2pdf (part of the Ghostscript suite) for easier accessibility.
