RAW file format
| Extension | .raw |
| Category | images |
| Programs | Adobe Photoshop Apple Preview Corel Draw |
| Description | In digital photography, the Raw file format is equivalent to the negative in traditional photography. This file contains untouched pixel data captured by the sensors of a digital camera. |
| Technical details | Raw image files are superior to JPG or PNG because they are directly from the camera sensors. When files are compressed, their integrity is reduced, which can be avoided by using Raw files. As a result, Raw files tend to be larger in comparison. |
