PPSM at a glance

PPSM

PPSM was introduced in the Office XML era to preserve slideshow-first behavior with macro support.

DNG at a glance

DNG

DNG emerged when professional photo workflows were already fragmented across many undocumented vendor raw formats. Adobe positioned it as a common archival and interchange option rather than just another camera-native format.
