As the title says I have been looking for the best file type for large data sets (2000+ photos), shot with a mix of a Phantom 4 Pro & a sony A6300. I am shooting it all in RAW & was tending towards using .dng files from Adobe Raw but Photoscan seems to ignore the color corrections applied to the files. Maximum level .jpg files are almost the same size but only 8bit, other file sizes are almost 3x the size and am aware of sensor noise that will be coming through from the raw files if they don't take into account the filtering from Adobe Raw & on the other side, compression noise etc.
I am wanting to get the highest quality possible.
