I tend to stick with the camera's native RAW format. Interestingly if you
can peel apart a DNG it is a RAW Tiff with an XML file for related data.
Great concept but it should have been built as an open standard.

TIFF allows you to specify the resolution for the image in one of the
standard tags. (The acronym is Tagged Image File Format, after all.)
I've seen TIFFs as high
I guess it doesn't really matter. I was assuming that because a tiff
is a larger file it would have more data in it. What started this
line of thought is that someone didn't know how to edit a cr3 file in
darktable and it was recommended that he convert to DNG and edit that.
I just always thought
I'm not clear as to why you would want to convince them, or why that might make
you stingy.
Also, I'm not entirely up-to-date on the latest TIFF specification, and I don't
know much about DNG, at all.
I think it's likely that DNG is higher resolution - keeps more data. It might
even be the
DNG is nikon raw format and tiff is compressed. Photographer should be
saving files in raw, so nothing is stripped out of it.

I mean like a DNG file is an Adobe product and I'm trying to convince
my photographer colleagues that they shouldn't use DNG but rather that
they should be using TIFF files when they need to convert a closed
format (I can't think of the correct word) image file to something
darktable can read.
how is a tiff file licensed? My web search didn't show it!
