[Gimp-user] Export to DNG raw file?

Thanks!

Being a newbie, I thought it would be handy to have a RAW file, in case I wanted
to roll it back into VueScan or some other program, without any processing.
Now that I am somewhat less a newbie, and in light of your advice, I don't see
why I would need to do that, and I can be satisfied with TIFF.
