  Photoshop forces you to save a copy if you are working with a layered original. You have to use the PSD (native Photoshop) or TIFF formats if you NEED to keep layers.

  You can’t save PNG if the mode of your image is CMYK color.

  DNG is actually Log encoded so really, only cineon log or 32bpc float linear image sequences can retain the same quality.
