TSV at a glance

TSV

TSV emerged as a pragmatic convention in data processing and spreadsheet exchange rather than as a richly standardized office format.

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.
