As I was looking for information on the RAW file I found a definition that caught my attention:
"The RAW file format is digital photography's equivalent of a negative in film photography: it contains untouched, "raw" pixel information straight from the digital camera's sensor."
A digital RAW file is a file containing the unprocessed raw data captured by the sensor in the digital camera at the time of exposure. The RAW file standing alone does not contain a finished photograph. To acquire that, the RAW file must first be converted. Camera settings for color space, sharpness, saturation, and white balance also are not in the RAW file; they are tags which accompany the RAW file through the conversion process.
Examples of camera manufacturer RAW formats: Nikon .NEF, Canon .CRW, Minolta .MRW, Olympus .ORF, Fuji .RAF,
JPG file?
JPG files, also known as JPEG files, are a common file format for digital photos and other digital graphics. When JPG files are saved, they use "lossy" compression, meaning image quality is lost as file size decreases. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
