I'm faced with having to save the files I've edited with CNX2 in a format that other programs can read, so I don't lose the edits when I move to another image processing app. (If you don't know yet why this is necessary, see the screams of frustration on the Nikon imaging forum here.)
So my question is: TIFF or DNG? My impression is that TIFF is the more widely supported. I also seem to remember reading the specs on a processing app that indicated that it, at least, had some limitations in what it could do with DNG as opposed to TIFF. But I could be wrong about both.
But the converted TIFF files are hundreds of MBs in size. To use that format will require me to make a very significant (given current budget) investment in terabyte-sized storage.
I've carefully weighed the option of staying with CNX2, and decided for my situation that is not the best way to go. (If you're interested in that discussion, I again refer you to that other forum.)

Any guidance will be really appreciated.
