Raw image format

(Redirected from RAW)

Raw image format A camera raw image file RAW contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.

Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.

Normally, the image is processed by a raw converter in a wide-gamut internal colorspace where precise adjustments can be made before conversion to a "positive" file format such as TIFF or Jpeg for storage, printing, or further manipulation, which often encodes the image in a device-dependent colorspace.
