<p>DNG is a good (best) option and is what iDigBio recommends to
ensure an openly documented format rather than a proprietary
format that might change without notice or documentation (e.g.
Nikon NEF).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A question for those of you running imaging
projects: in what format do you store the original,
high-resolution files? We have been using Nikon raw (.nef) but
as Adobe no longer makes plug-ins for the latest versions we
are contemplating converting to DNG before storing the images.
