But at the very least, if I spend time in LR and produce rendering
instructions, they are embedded in the DNG. I can hand them to you
and you
can view them IN the same product and see the same rendering. I
don't risk
the chance of losing this set of instructions or mixing them up
like I could
with sidecar files. I just don't like sidecar files.
In Aperture you achieve the same by exporting and importing projects,
projects have the format of packages and therefore appear as a single
file to the user. It is not as flexible as DNGs, as you have to send
the whole project (or change your project structure), but then it
includes the project structure which might be useful as well.
I am trying to think of a situation where that would be useful.
So I send you a 100 DNG's with rendering instructions and all you
want to do
is produce contact sheets.
Dito, send me the project (it has jpeg previews) or just the previews.
They are not that low but yes, there is limited usefulness if you
compare
that to using the full resolution data the raw data provides. Now
imagine
you have multiple rendering instructions and JPEGs. Even more useful.
Right now Adobe has created one standard with the DNG. Apple another
with their Aperture project packages. Adobe's standard is open and
documented but the most important part of it, the rendering
instructions, is essentially only useful when using Adobe products.
Apple's standard is not an ISO standard, but the IPTC and raw data
are easily accessible. It's based on a project basis, which is on the
one hand much less flexible but adds other advantages and it's main
part, the rendering instructions, is only useful with Aperture.
Somehow this situation sounds familiar.
(In end the looser in this standards war will have to make itself as
compatible with the winning standard, but it will take a while until
we are there.)
