Both formats, briefly
DNGIN
DNG is Adobe's open raw format, published as a specification anyone can implement. Every camera maker ships its own raw variant, and support for the older ones fades over time, which is the problem DNG exists to solve. Some cameras and most drones record it directly, and proprietary raw files can be converted into it. Photographers use DNG mainly for archiving and for keeping one format across a mix of camera bodies.
DDSOUT
DDS keeps textures in the form a graphics card wants to receive them. Block compressed data such as DXT and BC stays compressed in video memory, and mipmaps, cube maps and volume textures can all sit in the same file, so an engine loads it and draws with it directly. If you are modding a game, preparing assets for DirectX, or looking at art unpacked from a title, DDS is what you are handling.
