DNG nitpicks
For anyone figuring out Adobe's DNG format:
There is a typo in the DNG tag list. The tag BestQualityScale is given as 50741, which duplicates MarkerNoteSafety. BestQualityScale is supposed to be 50780.
Also, in some cases Adobe's DNG converter produces files with a TileWidth value which isn't a multiple of 16, violating the TIFF specification. This probably isn't a major problem in practice, but it could potentially cause trouble.
A fix has been promised for a future release of the converter.
