DNG at a glance
DNG
Convert to DNG when you need a standardized raw master for archival storage, cross-tool editing, or camera-original normalization.
It is a strong target when long-term raw accessibility matters.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
