Now keep in mind JPG is 8 bit color.

Now the difference between 8 bit and 10 bit is roughly double the colors.

10 bit to 12 bit same; double the colors.

Now my camera shoots 14 bit and a lot of my clients decide months or a year later that they want a magazine add or poster; the the DNG file has it all. If it were JPG, they would defiantly be at a disadvantage when it comes to print.

Most importantly DNGs have all of the sliders and adjustments that you made during your post work all embedded in the file. double click that file: bam!! everything in that raw DNG file is already adjusted. My clients love that!

Hope that helps you out.

Ohh I have been doing and making a living at this for 15 years.
